GOLF TIP OF THE WEEK – Keep your eye on the ball
Golf is one of those sports that require hand-eye coordination. Unlike other sports, the ball is sitting completele still in front of you. No one is trying to get the ball from you either, so there’s no reason for not keeping and eye on the ball. When your eyes are focused on the ball, you will find your game improving significantly.

GOLF JOKE OF THE WEEK
Sympathy is an amazing attribute to have. A husband and wife were playing on the ninth green when the man collapsed from an apparent heart attack. “Please dear, I need help,” he said. The wife ran off saying, “I’ll go get some help.” A little while later she returned, picked up her putter and began to line up her putt. Her husband, on the ground, raised up his head and said, “I may be dying and you’re putting?”“Don’t worry dear. I found a doctor on the second hole who said he’d come and help you,” the woman said in her crouch reading the line. “The second hole? When is he coming?” the man panted “Hey! I told you not to worry,” she said, stroking the putt into the hole. “Everyone has already agreed to let him play through.” (submitted by Roger Cook)
