The clubhouse was a rockin’ on Sunday,
July 31 as DJ Pete Rice (left)dug into his
archives to come up with a rousing
selection of favorites from the 1970s and
80s. Once again it seems that, if we offer
great entertainment, our members and
their guests willturnoutindrovesforan
EndoftheMonthParty.
Credit for the evening goes to Jacques and Mary Wood, Mike
and Karen Sileck, and Art and Connie Tonkinson, the hosts of

Asusual,members canenter the event by signingupin the
tournament book in the Pro Shop. You should make your
foursome's tee time on line or personally through the Pro
Shop.
Alignment is Key
The keys to any consistent golf swing are
grip, aim, and setup. These three things
happen before a swing is even made, and
have the greatest impact on consistent
results. In talking about aim, or alignment as it is often called,
the main goal is for the line of our toes to be parallel to the line
we want the ball to travel.
Having the proper alignment assists in allowing the club to pass
through ball correctly, minimizing side spin that can cause a
hook or slice. It may not be the full cure, but if you are
struggling with the direction the ball is traveling, or the curve of
the ball, try this simple drill to practice alignment.
Take two clubs and place them parallel on the ground. For a
right handed golfer, the left club will be the line you put your
toes on, and the right club will be an inch outside of the ball you
are hitting, aimed at your target. (See below.)

opportunity to treat yourselves and socialize with other

How can we correct this problem? George says that “the
racquet should be propelled forward by turning one’s
shoulder and letting the arm guide the racquet through
impact with the ball. The wrist should remain stable. On
impact the racquet should be horizontal and facing the net.
By doing this, the player will become more consistent in
directingthe ballintothedesiredlocationontheopponent’s
sideofthecourt.”Then,don’tforgettofollowthrough.
