PATRICIA ISLAND GOLF CLUB
TUESDAY NIGHT OPEN LEAGUE (Men and Ladies) report by Mike Kelly
I love the old saying that “a bad day of golf beats a good day at the office any day.” This is never more true than in league play. We are taught as children that competition offers the opportunity to learn and improve at whatever sport we are playing. So even if we are losing, sometimes badly, we get much more out of the round than with just a casual game.
Winners for August 5th are Jack Looney 1st Low Net; Jon Criger 2nd Low Net; Peter Venables; Closest to the pin; Jack Looney 1 skin; and Jon Criger 1 skin.
Join a League and you will have more fun playing golf. To join just call Mike Kelly at Kelly Golf 918-787-7640 or Patricia Island 918-786-3338 ext 3 or just stop by the Pro Shop.
GOLF TIP OF THE WEEK
Importance of Stance: The wider your feet the more likely you are too slide back and forth causing a wider shot pattern. I GUARANTEE a narrower pattern if your feet are closer together. A great drill is to hit practice balls with your heels touching. With this drill, there is literally no sliding and you will soon feel the benefit of keeping your body from sliding. But, don’t forget, you still need to turn.
GOLF JOKE of the WEEK
An oldie but goodie:
Bill, the avid golfer, contacts a “Medium” and asks if there is a golf course in Heaven. The Medium says that his request is a big order, but he will try and find out and get back to him in a few days.
After several days go by, Bill finally gets a call from the Medium. “Well,” said Bill, “What did ya find out?”
“I’ve got good news and bad news for you,” said the Medium.
“OK, what’s the good news?” Bill exclaimed.
“Well, there is a beautiful 36 hole golf course in Heaven, and you’ll have 24 hour access with your own personal caddy,” blurted out the Medium!!
“And the bad news?” asked
