SRGC August 2007 Newsletter
Apple Mountain was the venue for our August tournament. We
played the regular Low Net game but we also attempted to play Devil Ball. Tom
provided each team with Titlist Pro-V 1 golf balls and then something happened that
has NEVER happened with us before. We played Devil Ball and NOT ONE team
returned with the ball! Apple Mountain must have been very hungry that day. One
ball was lost on the very FIRST hit of the day! The longest a ball lasted was
to the 6th hole. I told Tom that maybe we should have used Top
Flight X-outs…they would probably have lasted longer!
The next time we play Devil Ball will be at Pacific Grove,
hopefully we’ll do a better job there.
We had 3 players in the Associate Club Net Quailfier at
Haggin Oaks. Al Edwards, Al Durst and Kathy Donnell. The championship round will be played at
Poppy Hills on Sept. 24-25. Kathy Donnell has qualified for the
championship tournament despite playing in over 100-degree weather. She shot a
41 on the front and on the back 9 she started to get too hot but managed to
pull it together and she finished up with a net 67. CONGRATULATIONS KATHY!
The Monterey Tournaments are fast approaching.
Ideally everyone that wanted to play has already signed up. Check with Tom Baker
to see if there are any openings or last minute cancellations. We will play Poppy
Hills on Thursday Sept.27th at 12:00 PM the format is Low Net.
Then on Friday Sept 28th we’ll play Pacific Grove starting at 9:58
AM, formats to be Low Net and Devil Ball.
My son bought a new book called “Murphy’s Laws of Golf” by
Henry Beard. The following is an excerpt from it.
Anything that can go
right
will go way, way
right.
Anything that can go
wrong
will wait to go wrong
until after you leave the practice tee.
All current problems
can be traced
to previous
solutions.
No matter how bad you
are playing
you can always play
worse.
If you address the
ball for more than 20 seconds,
it’s not a waggle –
it’s a seizure.
It’s often necessary
to hit a second drive
to really appreciate
the first one.
Hit the do-over
first.
HAPPY SEPTEMBER BIRTHDAY!!!
