It’s time to get the rust off of those clubs of yours and come on out and join the FOB annual golf league.  We will be playing at Rolling Green Golf Course again on Monday evenings starting  April 7th at 4:30 PM.  This will be the starting tee time for us, so some of you can show up after this if you can’t make it that early.  Marc Pattison and Chris Ewing will be assisting me this year so that this can be our best church golf league to date!

Please get the word out to your friends and others that you know might be interested in playing.  The format will be the same as in the past in terms of Quota Points for handicaps.  But, with a committed and bigger league, we can have a lot of fun with this by mixing it up by having team play from time to time. 

The league fee to join is $25 one time, plus the weekly 9-hole green fees with cart for $12.  Range balls are not included.  In the past, they didn’t mind if we played more that than 9 holes, and I don’t see that changing.  So, for the money, you really can’t beat it!  The fees cover weekly prizes and a season ending tournament.

Please reply back to me indicating that you did receive this (so that I know), and let me know if you are going to join us, and if you have any questions or concerns.  Please feel free to call me on my cell. 

Thanks!  Looking forward to seeing you out there on the 7th….

In HIS Grip,

The Problem

You’re sailing through a round, when all of the sudden — whoa! You slice a tee shot that lands one fairway over, and you repeat the shot on the next tee.

What you typically do

You become bogged down with too many swing thoughts—Is it my backswing? My downswing? You should know from experience that this kind of overthinking never works, and usually just makes matters worse.

What you should do

Save swing fixes for the practice range and concentrate on this emergency cure:

As you swing through impact, make a conscious effort to square up your clubface. If you’re wearing a watch on your left wrist, try to allow an imaginary person standing behind you to see what time it is immediately following impact. It’s a good trigger to remind you to rotate your forearms through the hitting area to p revent leaving the clubface open. Aim 10 yards right of your intended target in case the ball hooks a little.

After your round, forget this quick fix and try to determine the real cause of your slice. Most likely it’s an outside-in downswing path. That requires more than a Band-Aid. But the watch trick works and can definitely help you turn a bad driving day into a decent scoring day.

3 PGA tournaments in a row.  Can this guy be stopped?  Bart Bryant just laughed as he heard the roar on 18 as Tiger knocked down a 25 foot birdie putt to win the Arnold Palmer. 

F.O.B. is playing Rolling Green again this year.   Looks as if it will be 14ish dollars and begin the first week of April.  If you are interested please submit a comment with your contact info and I will have Kenny D. the league proveyer to contact you about the specifics!
