Get a good grip
A proper grip will reduce your
tendency to slice. A good grip will keep the
clubhead square at impact and keep the
shaft from turning in your hands. Pictured
at left, is the popular overlap grip, also
known as the Vardon grip.
Try for a relaxed and comfortable feel.
A tight grip will hinder your rhythm and
release. The V’s formed by the index finger
and thumbs on both hands point between

Golf
your grip is comfortable. It is important to develop a neutral grip that requires no compensations during the swing.
The orthodox position with the V’s of both hands (formed
by the forefinger and the thumb) pointing between the
chin and right shoulder is a good place to start. Very few
good players have grips with the V’s pointing very far from
this position. If you want a little stronger grip move the left
hand over to the right a little.
To learn how variations of the grip affect ball flight.
Experiment with slight variations of your grip. Observe
how the changes affect the flight of the ball. A weak grip
encourages a slice or fade. A strong grip encourages a hook
or a draw. The V’s formed by the index finger and thumbs
on both hands should point between the chin and right
shoulder.
To develop the best possible grip for you. Every golfer
swings and grips the club differently. Over 90 percent of
golfers use the Vardon or overlapping grip. Players with
smaller hands sometimes find the interlocking grip, with
the little finger of the right hand interlocked with the index
finger of the left hand, works best for them. Players with
smaller should use a baseball type grip.
Do’s and Don’ts
Don’t grip the club too tightly. A tight grip inhibits a
smooth swing and follow-though. Also, keep the grips on
your clubs in good condition. Worn grips force you to hold
the club too tightly. Replace the grips on your clubs as they
get worn and smooth. When first learning the grip, keep
a club around the house and practice gripping and regripping the club a few minutes each day. Remember to keep
fingers secure and arms relaxed.
Golf Stance tips
A square setup will encourage a square
impact. A square stance means the feet are
parallel to the target line. Imagine railroad
tracks. Your feet are touching one rail and
the ball is on the other rail.
A closed stance will encourage an
inside-to-outside swing path, causing a
draw. An open stance may encourage an
outside-to-inside swing path by giving your
arms and shoulders more freedom.
Position the ball a couple of
inches inside the left heel for most
shots. A consistent position helps develop a repeatable swing. Playing the
ball too far forward in your stance
tends to open the shoulders encouraging an outside-toinside swing, often causing a slice.
Purpose
To reduce the problems caused by a poor setup. Many
swing faults occur from an improper setup. This can cause
unnecessary adjustments during the swing. Taking care to
position the ball, feet, hips and shoulders properly ensures
building a good swing foundation. Testing has shown
golfers with open stances show no more tendency to slice

than golfers with closed stances. The open stance may
give the golfers a little more opportunity to slice, because
it allows a little more freedom in the downswing and
follow-though. The square stance is used by most successful golfers. Beginners should start with a square stance.
As you advance, you can experiment with the advantages
of other stances. Avoid extreme stances. Experiment to
find the stance that works best for you. Take care to set up
consistently on all normal shots.
To start with a proven ball position. Moving a golf ball
even two inches forward or back in your stance can make a
great deal of difference in shot consistency. Start with the
ball a couple of inches inside the left heel. After you master
this consistent ball position, you can experiment with
other ball positions.
However, a ball too far to the front of your stance will
increase the chances of a slice by encouraging an outsideto-inside swing. A ball too far back in the stance will make
it difficult to get the clubface closed by impact and may
cause a push or a push slice.
To achieve the goal of hitting the ball at the bottom
of the swing arc. Your drives should be hit slightly on the
upswing, iron shots are struck slightly on the downswing.
Fairway woods are hit at the bottom of the swing arc.
Do’s and Don’ts
Be sure to check the location of the ball with clubs
aligned on the ground. Step away to check that you are
positioning the ball properly. Ask someone to doublecheck your positioning. It is hard, without alignment tape
or clubs, to visually gauge the proper placement of the ball.

Festivals & Fairs
American Independence
Festival set for July 16
American Independence Festival on Saturday, July
16, 2011, is an annual celebration of our freedom and the
founding of our nation. It is coordinated and hosted by the
American Independence Museum, along with a loyal group
of Festival Committee members. The festival was known as
“Revolutionary War Festival” years ago.
 Event runs from 10am – 5pm and is held rain or shine.
Town festivities continue on Swasey Parkway with live
music as well as fireworks. For a complete itinerary and
directions, visit www.independencemuseum.org/festival.
 An admission fee is charged for festival events on
Swasey Parkway AND the museum grounds. Fee will be $7
pp, ages 10+; under 10 and museum members admitted
free. We appreciate donations from anyone wishing to
attend Swasey festivities only.
 NEW this year: Friday Night BBQ at Town Commons Park
5 – 6:30pm, followed by an Evening of Music and Magic
at old Town Hall from 7 – 9 pm. There is a charge for these
events and all proceeds will benefit the museum. BBQ
adult price is $12; hotdog meal for kids $5. Music & Magic
event: $15pp. $10 under 12 and museum members.
 The battle portrayal between the Colonials and British

Festival:
1. What’s in YOUR Attic? In 1985, a copy of a Dunlap Broadside of the Declaration of Independence was found in the
attic of the Ladd-Gilman House. This important discovery
(it was the 25th known copy at the time, of approximately
200 created on the night of July 4, 1776) spurred the 1991
creation of the American Independence Museum.
2. Make the Connection which will encourage visitors
to observe and try the techniques of traditional artisans
(spinning, weaving, carpentry, blacksmithing and more)
and then locate examples of items in the museum’s collection which were created with those techniques.

Exhibits
Portrait exhibit opens
at Thorne Art gallery
Portraits and other figurative works in the ThorneSagendorph Art Gallery collection will be displayed
through Sunday, July 24, at the gallery located on the
Keene State College campus. The “Figuratively Speaking”
exhibit includes paintings, prints, and photographs by
Corneille, Francisco Goya, Alexander James, Rockwell Kent,
Robert Mapplethorpe, Fritz Scholder, and others.
Exhibit curator Stephen J. Lucey, a KSC assistant
professor of art history, drew works from the Thorne’s
permanent collection, which consists of traditional and
contemporary works on paper, paintings, sculpture, and
mixed media. One of the focuses of the collection is to
preserve artwork created by artists from the 19th-century
Dublin Art Colony as a cultural heritage for KSC and the
people of the Monadnock region of New Hampshire. For
this exhibit Professor Lucey selected portraits, including
some by artists from the Dublin Art Colony, and matched
the portraits with quotes about the art of portraiture.
“The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is
life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred
years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since
it is life,” states a quote from writer William Faulkner, that
hangs near a portrait in the exhibit.
Ariadne, a painting by Will Barnet. is among the artworks in “Figuratively Speaking,” an exhibit of portraits from the ThorneSagendorph Art Gallery’s collection. The exhibit is open June 3-July 24 and September 2-October 2 at the Thorne Gallery
located on the Keene State College Campus. For information, call 603-358-2720 or visit www.keene.edu/tsag
“Figuratively Speaking” will reopen September 2 to
October 2, to coincide with the opening of “Infinite Mirror:
Images of American Identity,” an exhibit of paintings,
prints, photographs, and video which explores American
self image.
The gallery is open during June and July from noon
to 5 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, 3 to 8 p.m. Friday, and
noon to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. It is closed Monday
and Tuesday. Located on Wyman Way on the Keene State
campus, the Gallery is accessible to people with disabilities. For information, call 603-358-2720 or visit www.

Farmers’ Markets open
for the Summer Season
The majority of New Hampshire’s farmers’ markets are
now open, or will be open by the end of June. Shoppers
can choose from 85 markets operating weekly from now
through October all around the state.
Some markets actually open in May and many are
now offering winter market locations, with shopping hours
several times a month from January through April. One
can now shop at certain farmers’ market locations almost
year round in New Hampshire.
Direct marketing of farm products through farmers’
markets is an important sales outlet for agricultural producers in New Hampshire and nationwide. Farmers market
shopping has continued to rise in popularity, mostly due to
the growing consumer interest in obtaining fresh products
directly from the farm.
According to 2010 US Dept. of Agriculture figures,
there were over 6,000 farmers markets operating in the
United States. In the ten year period from 2000 to 2010
there has been a 46% increase in US farmers’ market
numbers.
New Hampshire has also seen tremendous growth
in farmers markets, with over seven times the number of
markets as in 1994. With 85 market locations, there is a
�
24TH Annual
farmers’ market operating each day somewhere in New
Hampshire.
The NH Dept. of Agriculture, Markets & Food and the
NH Farmers’ Market Association support the development
and operation of farmers’ markets and other direct marketing activities for agricultural producers.
Farmers’ markets offer products such as farm-fresh
fruits, vegetables, herbs, meat and dairy products, baked
goods, flowers and much more.
Farmers’ markets provide an outstanding venue for
farmers to market directly to consumers, giving shoppers
an opportunity to establish a personal relationship with
those who grew the products and strengthening their
appreciation of farmers’ service. Farmers’ markets support
communities by bringing the ambience of the farm to the
city or town, by making fresh and nutritious food readily
available, and by giving consumers the ability to purchase
locally grown produce with ease.
Local farmers’ markets will join all US farmers’ markets
to celebrate 2011 Farmers’ Market Week, from Aug 7-13
with a variety of special events and activities. For a list of
2011 farmers’ markets, visit the NH Dept. of Agriculture,
Markets & Food website at http://www.agriculture.
nh.gov, or the NH Farmers’ Market Association website at
http://www.nhfma.org for the most current list of New
Hampshire Farmers’ Markets. Also check back as August
draws closer for Farmers’ Market Week events.

Suzy Bogguss performs
at Tupelo Music Hall
Friday, July 8th
Suzy Bogguss had a revelation on stage with Garrison
Keillor in 2008. Everyone loves to sing along on “Red River
Valley” – except the children who somehow don’t know
the song. Folk songs are the scrapbook of the American
experience, but as music education fades from our public
schools, she worried; these beautiful melodies are in
danger of being overlooked. She resolved to record these
timeless songs in an updated but reverent way – so that
everyone can sing along on “Red River Valley.”
And who better than the golden throated Suzy? The
platinum selling songstress already has a full bookshelf
of Grammy and CMA awards and now with the release
of American Folk Songbook she can put her own book
up there too. TheCD and companion Songbook will be
released on July 18, 2011 at all Cracker Barrel Country
Stores followed by a wide release to other fine retail and
digital outlets on August 2, 2011.
As Suzy writes in the introduction to the book: “Music
has always been my purest joy even as a child. One of
my favorite memories is my grade-school music teacher
pounding on the piano and leading the class in rousing

renditions of folk songs from all around the world. In the
summer of 2008 I toured with the brilliant and engaging
Garrison Keillor. The energy that passed between the
audience and Garrison was overwhelming at times. Several
thousand people standing and singing together—old
songs, hymns, the Beatles and the Everly Brothers. People
of all ages, sharing music. Ahhh, pure joy.”
But Bogguss was not content to present the songs as
dusty museum pieces, instead she chose to breath new life
into them with contemporary arrangements and a crack
The 2011 Summer Concerts on the Plaza series at the
Nashua Public Library opens on Thursday, July 7, with C’est
Si Bon, a French band.

Rossi, captures the essence of French popular classics,

and accordion. Let yourself be transported to Paris by the

and other legendary musicians and poets.
Future concerts in the library’s outdoor series include

July 28—Simons and Goodwin, folk duo
All performances are held on Thursdays at 7 p.m. and

The Intimately Yours series, sponsored by 92.5
The River, has been hailed as a “crowd-pleaser” by The
Portsmouth Herald: “it bring(s) the brightest and best the
music industry has to offer to…one of the best venues
in the Northeast. To date, they’ve brought in artists that
were on the cusp of blowing up (Ray LaMontagne, Brandi
Carlile), to seasoned veterans that you’re hard pressed to
find playing a venue as small as The Music Hall (The Neville
Brothers, Bruce Hornsby, Rufus Wainwright, etc.)…a
series that continues to bring compelling offerings to
Seacoast music fans.”
The Music Hall Presents
Emmylou Harris
“There are legendary country singers, and then there’s
Emmylou: a breathtaking pinnacle of poise and elegance,
and an artist who continues to innovate with every new
release.”
– Time Out New York
The Music Hall, the landmark Victorian theater in
downtown Portsmouth, welcomes Emmylou Harris to its
Intimately Yours concert series on Friday, July 29 at 8pm.
Already celebrated as a discoverer and interpreter of other
artists’ songs, 12-time Grammy Award winner Emmylou
Harris has, in the last decade, gained admiration as much
for her eloquently straightforward songwriting as for her
incomparably expressive singing. Opening for Harris will
be The Civil Wars. A folk-pop duo made up of guitarist John
Paul White and vocalist Joy Williams, the Civil Wars new
album, Barton Hollow, was released in February 2011,
topping the iTunes charts and cracking Billboard’s Top 20
during its first week.
About Emmylou Harris
Few in pop or country have achieved such honesty or
revealed such maturity in their writing as Emmylou Harris.
Forty years into her career, Harris shares the hard-earned
wisdom that, hopefully, if not inevitably, comes with getting older, though she has never stopped looking ahead.
To purchase tickets
Emmylou Harris and opening act The Civil Wars will
perform at The Music Hall Friday July 29, 8 pm. Tickets
are $82; $70. Tickets go on sale to members at noon on
May 19 and to nonmembers at noon on June 1. They can

Shaving Versus Waxing
150 Beech St.
Manchester, NH
603.486.8189
SHAVING:
With shaving, the hair is cut at the skin line, leaving behind the bulb. Hair grows back very
quickly due to the stimulation of lifting the hair bulb. Increasing oils and blood circulation
better nourishes the hair, which encourages it to grow faster. Shaved hair is always cut at a
slant, making the hair sharp and uncomfortable. Shaved hair always grows back in coarse,
sharp stubble within 24-hours.
WAXING:
One of the most delightful advantages of waxing is that your hair will grow back finer and
slower. This is because the hair bulb is removed from below the skin's surface. Each time
a new bulb grows back at the base of your hair, it will be weaker, and at times the hair is
actually discouraged from growing back. Waxed hair takes two weeks for the bulb to grow
back in the follicle, and one to two weeks for the hair to grow above the skin line, leaving
you hair-free for three to four weeks! When waxing leaves your skin silky, smooth, and
hairless for longer, the question is why not wax?

White Mountains
Attractions open for the
season with New Rides
NORTH WOODSTOCK, NH - With the fast approach of
summer in New Hampshire’s White Mountains, the region’s
attractions are opening for the season and visitors will find
some new reasons to return to their favorite parks.
From new rides, new ways to ride and even new
ways to “hang around,” vacationers heading north to the
mountains will find new adventures awaiting them.
“The White Mountains have been a destination for
generations of families and our many attractions realize
this,” said Jayne O’Connor, president of White Mountains
Attractions. “This year’s investment represents hundreds of
thousands of dollars to add new experiences at our theme
parks that can be enjoyed for new generations.”
Among the new rides this year include:
 Splash Battle Pharaoh’s Reign at Story Land in Glen,
the first new ride at the park since 2006. Set to open in
June, this river adventure features a 4-person watercraft,
each equipped with a water cannon that can be aimed at
other boats and toward spectators on shore. Those landlubbers will also have a chance to blast water back.
 On the heels of last year’s opening of the Ho-HoH2O watermark, Santa’s Village in Jefferson opens a new
ride this season, Santa’s Chimney Drop.
 Loon Mountain in Lincoln will offer 3-hour guided
Segway tours. Following an orientation, riders will glider
along the bike path and River Walk, all while learning
about the rich history and logging heritage of Lincoln,
before returning to Loon.
 For the visitor who likes to “hang around,” Alpine
Adventures in Lincoln has just the ticket. The third and
largest Zipline course, the Super SkyRider, will combine
newer, faster and higher lines. Thrillsville, the aerial
adventure park on Main Street in Lincoln, is undergoing an
expansion that will triple its size and a 4-person bungeetrampoline has also been added.
 Cannon Mountain, in Franconia Notch State Park,
now has bike rentals available at the base of the Tramway,
giving cyclists direct access to the 8.8-mile recreation path
winding through the notch. A shuttle service will be avail-
able so that guests can ride from the tram to the Flume
Gorge and return via shuttle.
 Just a few months after opening it’s mountain
coaster last winter, Cranmore Mountain is kicking off the
summer season with the opening of its Adventure Park.
Ropes courses, zip lines and air bridges are waiting for
visitors to conquer.
 Attitash Mountain Resort’s Nor’Easter Mountain
Coaster, opened late last year, and with its banked turns,
dips and straightaways, it offers a thrilling and scenic ride
for all ages.
 Aboard Conway Scenic Railroad’s Notch Train, a
new first class package, featuring seating in first class, a 3
course luncheon on the Hattie Evans car, beverage service
and complimentary snacks are offered this summer.
 For hikers, the Appalachian Mountain Club will
offer hiker shuttles connecting with Concord Coach Lines

“Yours ... a wonderful feeling of confidence”
and other fun stuff available from the Jackson Fire Department. This spectacular display is sponsored by our Jackson
Town Selectmen/Woman as well as local businesses and
local residents. Wentworth Golf Course Greens, Jackson
Village, Jackson, NH.
Things To Do
White Horse Ledge: White Horse, the southern
ledge off West Side Road, is so named because of a light
colored area on its face which resembles a white horse
dashing up the cliff. It’s not as obvious as the stone profiles,
and is easiest to see in late fall with a dusting of snow. Directions: Best view from West Side Road in North Conway.
Madison Boulder Natural Area: One of the
world’s largest glacial erratics is found off a country road in
Madison. The Madison Boulder is 37’ high and 83’ long, and
is estimated to have moved one and a half miles during the
Ice Age in an ice stream. Directions: Between Conway and
Madison on Rte. 113, turn west at the sign marking the
geological landmark and follow signs, staying right to the
parking area. Walk in 100 yads.
Scenic Overlooks
Cathedral Ledge: This is the northernmost of the
two ledges to the west of North Conway Village. Cathedral
Ledge is one of the area’s most distinctive landmarks. The
top of the 1150 high ledge offers an unparalleled vantage
point to view the Valley below. If you’re lucky, you may be
there to see one of the many rock climbers enjoying this
face “top out”. Directions: From the light just beyond the
Eastern Slope Inn on Rt. 16 in North Conway Village, go
left onto River Road. The Cathedral Ledge Road is 1.4 miles
along on the left. This 1.7 mile drive to the top ends in a
circular turn. Park and walk over to see the view.
The Scenic Vista: A beautiful view, and picture
Garden Series Scents in the Garden
taking opportunity is easily accessible from The Scenic
Vista. You’ll look over the Intervale to the ever-changing
Mt. Washington. A state-operated information center
is located right there too. Directions: Continue north on
White Mountain Hwy (Rte. 16) from N. Conway Village
about 3 miles.

On Golden Pond-Oscar
Night July 1 at 8 p.m.
The evening includes a discussion with Academy
Award® Winning Screenwriter, Ernest Thompson, regarding
the life of the story on stage and on-screen after a performance of ‘On Golden Pond’.
Oscar will be in attendance. Photos with Ernest and
Oscar will be available for a free. ‘On Golden Pond’, one of
the most produced comedies in history, is coming home to
Holderness, New Hampshire-where the movie it inspired
was shot-and designed and directed for the first time by
its Academy Award® Winning Author, Ernest Thompson.
Golden Pond is an ideal, a fantasy, a home to go to , even if
it’s only in a person’s dreams.
‘On Golden Pond’ has been translated into 27
languages and has played in more than 40 countries. It
has a universal message and continues to capture the
imagination of audiences everywhere. This ‘On Golden
Pond’ is for New Hampshire, where Ernest lives and where
his partners of Whitebridge Farm Productions, Lori Gigliotti
Murphy and Morgan Murphy have created the new film,
“Time and Charges”.
“Golden Pond is very near wherever you are” has never
been truer for anyone lucky enough to come this summer
to the Little Church Theater in Holderness and watch an
extraordinary cast of characters in this classic American
play come to life in the hands of its creator. 40 Route 113,
PO Box 105, Holderness, NH, $45/$35 per person.
Lavender is best known for its relaxing scent and

flowering herb. Treat yourself to a whole day of relaxation.

Boston’s best-known institute for health, yoga, and
spiritual educators. Pamper yourself with a massage or a
lesson in meditation or a demonstration on skin care. Make
your own tussie-mussie or lavender sachet and then relax
in the Lavender Tea Room and enjoy lavender treats. Spend
the day on July9 at 10 a.m. with a friend or your family. We
will have lots of children’s activities including Yoga for Kids.

and Saturday, July 16, 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m., Framework Trees
of New England, at The Fells, Newbury, NH and field sites.
Trees are the dominant plant type of New England, with
forests covering most of the land area. This survey course
addresses identification and natural history of individual
species as well as forest ecology. Since understanding today’s forests requires familiarity with their history, instructor Chris Mattrick will review the changing landscape from
the Ice Age through European settlement. Students learn
to identify native New England trees and their habitats, to
recognize different aged stands (pioneer, second growth,
and other growth) and become familiar with forest communities of the northeastern temperate region. Weekend
field trips take us to a variety of forest types off-site. Fee:
$192 (Member) / $230 (Nonmember). Cosponsored by
New England Wild Flower Society and The Fells, Newbury,
NH. Pre-registration is necessary, contact the registrar at

spur trails to four viewing platforms. Instructor Roland
“Boot” Boutwell expects to show the magnificent tuberous
grass-pink (Calopogon tuberosus) in bloom, as well as

industrialization. This course is taught entirely online by

Sessions begin July 1 and end August 19; two self-directed
field trips are required. 3 credits.
Heritage Studies: Foundations. This course is
designed for those interested in bringing heritage studies
to areas such as schools, museums and historical societies.

students in the classroom.
This course is taught by Marcia Blaine, PhD, associate
professor of history at Plymouth State University.
It takes place at Plymouth State University and
online. Classroom sessions take place July 6, 7, 8, 12, 14:
