Golf Quote: “If you watch a game, it’s fun. If you play it, it’s recreation. If you work at it, it’s golf.’ – Bob Hope

Golf Stuff: The biggest issue that senior golfers face is difficulty in creating distance. However, from 100 yards and in, there is nothing that holds you back from being the best player on the course!  Start working on drills to help you with distance control, alignment, and ball flight.  Try to have a high and a low shot from 25, 50, 75, and 100 yards you can rely on.

Tuesday, June 18th: Mac Miller Takes Home the Big Bucks ($33.00) !!!

NOTE:   Closest to the holes for June are #5 & #14.

Tuesday’s game was played at Meadow Lake Acres, just 15 minutes north of Jefferson City.  MLA  is a Par-72 course that features excellently maintained practice facilities, very nice tee boxes, heavy roughs, bent grass fairways, soft but fast greens and fabulous green surrounds.  Although, not overly trapped, water came into play several times and the fairways are lined with trees draping over on many holes… ala the right side of our #12 fairway.  MLA is fairly flat, well maintained, with nice rest stops on the course, that included clean rest rooms, ice machines and water. The club has a very nice pro shop, dining area and locker room.

We played a $10 game.  The three teams of four were handicapped so that each team had a total quota of 109, plus or minus one. We played a team two dollar Nassau , counting the best three scores.  There was one dollar singles with Nassau paying three places and two closest to the holes at $0.50 per hole.

Golf Quote: “If you drink, don’t drive. Don’t even putt.” – Dean Martin

Golf Stuff:  A 20-handicapper, Arccos' statistics says, a player will only record an average of 3.6 GIR (greens in regulation) per 18 holes. And even when they do, said golfer will be some way from the hole when attempting a birdie putt - around 36 feet, to be exact.  Improving GIR is the best way to lower your handicap.

Golf Quote: “Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening – and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented.” – Arnold Palmer

Golf Stuff: To date, Tiger Woods has won an astounding 82 PGA tournaments.  Tiger Woods made his first hole-in-one at the age of eight.  Phil Mickelson is naturally right-handed, but as a child, he mirrored his father’s swing and learned to swing as though he was left-handed.  Jack Nicklaus was the first golfer who was able to successfully defend his Master’s title.
