FLEISHHACKER JUNIOR GOLF COTTAGE NEWS
The winter has come and gone and we are moving full speed ahead.
We have already conducted multiple camps and everyone has had a
blast! This year we are having three different types of camps:
• “Prep Camps”
• “In-Season Camps”
• “Cool –Down Camps”
The “prep” camps will cover goals, preparation, and prepping the
juniors to get emotionally and mentally ready for summer golf. The
“in-season” camps are all about playing the game. Here we help them
understand practice rounds, how to practice to really get better, how
testing themselves is a part of the learning process, and getting around
the course in the fewest strokes possible. The “cool-down” camps are
about preparing for the off season. By setting the appropriate process
goals, establishing the importance of building skill, and taking care of
their body in the off season, they will be even more prepared for the
following season of golf.
We have a full list of 2015 camp dates at http://oldwaverly.com/teaching-center/

WHERE HAVE ALL THE BLUEBIRDS GONE?
How many of us have seen a Bluebird in recent years? The great majority of young
people have never seen a Bluebird. Yet, 50 years ago, Bluebirds were among the most
common song birds in America. The Eastern Bluebird range once covered the entire
eastern United States, west across the Great Plains where they meet the Mountain and
Western Bluebird; however, with the obstacles mankind has created for them, their
population has declined almost 90% in the past 50 years.
The Old Waverly Bluebird Restoration Project was begun in 2008 by Bill Colloredo,
Cecil Chiles, and Jerry Ishee. There are 35 Bluebird houses throughout the golf course.
Typically Bluebirds start searching for houses in the middle of March and building
a nest by April 1st. They are monitored every week or 10 days when nesting begins.
The Restoration Project has been a huge success with over 1,000 Bluebird fledglings
since 2008.
Young Bluebirds are naked upon hatching and remain so for several days. They are
fed small soft insects every few minutes from dawn until dusk. Within 12 days the
fledglings are almost adult size and natal down has been replaced by adult feathers.
They are now fed larger insects - grasshoppers making up a large part of the diet of young and adult.
The young can fly 50 to 100 feet on their first flight and do not return to the nest. The male usually takes charge of caring
for the young while the female re-nests sometimes in a matter of hours.

have expanded their front beds, adding a new sweep of azaleas and other plantings
completed by the newly expanded lawn.
May’s Lawn & Garden award

Drakes updated the facade of their
home at 2150 Camellia Cove and
created handsome planting beds that
surround the entire home.
TIPS FROM THE TEE
Over the past few months we have been discussing the cornerstones of great putting. When we hit a putt, there are only
four things we can control or influence:
• The initial path the ball starts rolling on-direction
• How far the ball travels-distance
• The line we choose to start the ball on- green reading
• Our conscious thoughts while we are over the putt-routine
This month, we address the final piece—routine. This is arguably the most important piece of the puzzle. If our mind is a
variable…then we have no idea why we make putts or miss putts. In theory, having a solid routine should be very simple. You
don’t have to be a great athlete, clubhead speed does not matter, and age is irrelevant. However, we all know how emotional
we can get on the golf course. Some rounds we hole a ten foot par putt on the first green and the hole looks like it’s the size of
a basketball. Other times we three-putt the first and it’s like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole!
Every good routine has three things:
• A trigger to start the routine
• Predetermined amount of looks at the target
• “Words” to say/think during the routine
For example, my routine starts when I put my left hand on my left hip pocket (trigger). I always look at my target twice
(looks). While I am doing this, I say to myself, “look, look, go” (words). Your routine should be your own. By no means am I
saying to copy mine. It should fit your style or personality. However, it must be defined for you to repeat it.
OLD WAVERLY JUNIOR GOLF FUNDRAISER
We would like to thank all of you that played and supported the Junior
Golf Foundation at Old Waverly. The teams consisted of four amateurs and
one junior golfer. We would like to congratulate the team of Jimmy Galloway,
Kyle McConnell, Al Puckett, Marcus Mallory, and Dalton Ford. They fired a
61 to take home the victory!
Our mission and goals could not be achieved without your support. It
truly is a team effort, and we are very proud of what we have to offer these
junior golfers.
We have a complete list of camp dates for 2015 on Old Waverly’s website.
