Golf

A "gimme" can best be defined as an agreement between two
golfers, neither of whom can putt very well.
An interesting thing about golf is that no matter how badly
you play, it is always possible to get worse.
Golf's a hard game to figure. One day you'll go out and
slice it and shank it, hit into all the traps, and miss
every green. The next day you'll go out and for no reason at
all you'll really stink.
If your best shots are the practice swing and the "gimme
putt," you might wish to reconsider this game.
Golf is the only sport where the most feared opponent is
you.
Golf is like marriage: If you take yourself too seriously it
won't work, and both are expensive.
The best wood in most amateurs' bags is the pencil.
Received from Irene A. Mystery.

2010 Kick Off for the Niners@ihcc

2010-03-03T13:48:00.000-08:00

It is always great to get together for the kick off coffee. The Niners have a wonderful time and it is fun to meet new friends and see Niners from past years. It is going to be a great year for the Niners and fun to change play days. Everyone is looking forward to nice weather and playing a round of golf. It has been a challenging winter, full of cold, damp, ever changing weather systems. March is a time for renewing and hopefully, my golf swing will be renewed.

2009-06-06T06:18:00.000-07:00

Web MD has an article that could possibly help with your golf. A golfer needs to be flexible to develop their swing and improve it. Stretching before your golf game can save you from injury and frustration. A few swings before your round are not enough to keep your body fit. Have a plan and establish a routine to prepare for your golf outing. The article also states that nutrition is important and eating a nourishing breakfast is a smart idea to have a successful round of golf. The article below was written by Daniel J. DeNoon, who is with Web MD Health News.

Thursday Golf

2009-05-31T15:07:00.000-07:00

Golf is fun in the summer. It is hot and humid and you can't wait to get to the shade; unlike summer, when you can't wait to get in the sun. I love the 8th hole on Seminole. My idea is to hit the cart path and let the ball bounce as far as it will go. It is fun when it takes a good bounce. Unfortunately, my strategy did not work last Thursday when I was playing with Bonnie, Susan and Ann. It bounced on the cart path, but instead of bouncing down, way down in the fairway, it bounced up on the hill, that is so hard to get the ball back out on the fairway. Next time, I may just shoot for the fairway and leave the cart path trick to my friends.

A new golf lesson video has been added. Do you like to play games? Scroll down the page and find the mini putt golf game. Let me know how you like it. It is addictive and such fun to play. It is hard to play golf each day, so this little game can be a substitute.
