The Game of Honor!

I just spent the last 3 days working with Jr. players and one of the areas we talked about was how GOLF is known as a "Gentlemen's Game". Honor, Integrity and Good Sportsmanship! Golf doesn't have any referres. Most of the time, we call ourselves on our own mistakes and Brian Davis set the example of the true meaning of how the game is suppose to be played! I encourage you to share this article with your child. We have so many different groups in sports these days that have a different belief system. Those who are VERY competitive.....winning is what counts and then there is the groups who say "Everyone" is a WINNER....there is no such thing as a LOSING team. Let's embrace being proud of our performance and learn the art of being tactful. Alot is said about a person who knows how to handle disappointment with grace & dignity. Thanks Brian Davis for a great example!

Birdie Time

I am so excited about kicking off the new year this weekend with our "Weekend Warrior Series". To help grow and encourage participation for our Junior Golf Programs, I will be having a year long contest to see who has the most BIRDIES for 2010! Each Junior clinic is worth an allotted number of birdies. The goal is to have your child participate in as many clinics as they can & in return they will be given a birdie. Whoever has the most birdies by Dec. 31st will win one lesson a month for the entire year of 2011. I look forward to the new year and hope to see your kids out on the lesson tee.

Think Birdies,

Sandy
