Dear Men’s Club Members,

     We just concluded the Club Championship, Congratulations to all the winners. This is our premier event for our scratch players. The winner again this year was Don O’Connor with a two day gross score of 146. Also, this is the 2nd year we had a senior gross division and the winner is Bob Hallock .

          Its that time of year again for aerating of the greens and over seeding of the fairways. We will be aerating the greens on October 9th and 10^th and over seeding the whole month of October. The over seeding will not adversely affect the playability of the golf course.

We will be overseeding one or two holes per day and for that one day we will be playing winter rules on those holes.

                                                                                      Thanks for all your support   
GREG MILLIGAN

Golf's a hard game to figure.  One day you'll go out and slice the ball, shank the ball, hit into all the bunkers and miss every green.  And then, the very next day you'll go out and for no apparent reason play worse.  Amazing, isn't it?  The only thing consistent about most players' games is their inconsistency.  Have you ever wondered why this happens?  In the articles that follow you'll learn exactly how to improve your game.  Keep an open mind and ask yourself one simple question, why do you play golf?

P.S.  Don't forget to follow the six steps to proper range practice:

1. STRETCH
2. PUTT
3. CHIP
4. PITCH
5. BUNKER
6. FULL SWING

Play well, and have fun on the journey.

The Golfing God

By Mark Worden
 

 I took four lessons from a pro,
to straighten out my swing
and tempoed downward fast to slow,
to make my driver zing!

 I worked for months and saw no change,
but practiced when I could.
each week I spent time at the range,
a’pounding on my wood.

   A good pace of play is an important element in having a good experience at the golf course. It's often a combination of little things not done that wind up contributing to slow play and on-course traffic jams. Here are some tips for making sure your pace of play is as brisk as it should be. Remember: pace of play isn't about rushing your shots, it's about being ready to take your shot when it's your turn, and behaving efficiently on the course.

Review of Relief Rules

 I have been asked to clarify rules of relief as it relates to certain situations at S an Luis Rey Downs.

Without penalty a player may take relief of swing or stance plus one club length no closer the hole. If after relief has been taken, the player determines that the flight of the ball may impact the railroad tie barrier, does the player get further relief?   Answer:   No, the ball must be played from the initially determined point of relief.
