Eagle Ridge Golf League News
It’s That Time of Year Again!
The 2017 Golf League Will Commence
Tuesday, April 18 at 5:30 PM
The Eagle Ridge Golf League will begin on Tuesday, April 18, 2017, at 5:30 PM. The price to join the league is $25, but if one joins before the start of the league, the price is $20. The league is great fun, and you will make new friends. Regardless of the state of your golf game, there are equalizers within the rules. The older people get to move to forward tees so that the long hitters have competition from us old guys in driver length. Finally, the handicap makes everyone competitive.
League applications are at the pro shop. Stop by, fill out your application, and pay the $20 league fee. All monies are returned in prizes and include a free banquet dinner. If you have any questions, call Dan Preece (673-4190) or me (638-4308).
If you haven’t played in the league, I would advise you to give it a try. You will meet people that you haven’t seen in years, new people that you’ve never met and others who may be some of your best friends. Regardless it will become your favorite evening of every week. It assures that you will play golf, that you will have someone to play golf with, and even pick up stories that you can even tell your grandchildren. Unfortunately, most of those stories will center around me. Not because of any great, magnificent play, I have made but the tales of me chasing down a golf cart, falling backward into the creek, and rolling all the way to the bottom of a ravine. It is my hope that a monument is placed in each of these sites.
I can tell you that J Lynn See has been practicing his game, by playing most every day in Florida. He is determined, to capture the league championship once again. But he is not alone. The boys down at the pool room told me that Charlie Curnutte, Dave Wallen, and Mike Hogan have found, a place in Huntington where one can, improve his game and stay inside and play great courses. You hit real golf balls, and a computer measures your swing. It documents whether your swing is inside out, whether you’re coming over the top, the face angle of your club at impact, including the distance of the shot, and other such measurements. It must just tell you everything. So now we know the people whose games are going to be ready. I might try an inside golf session with the three guys, but I’m afraid that the information about my swing, would send me into depression.
I’ll see you at the course on Tuesday, April 18th.
