SPECIAL OLYMPICS GOLF TEAM
We are still looking for a few more coaches (helpers) for our Home of Hope (Vinita) Special Olympics Golf Team. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE GOOD AT GOLF. You do have to be good working with this great group of special needs people. We just make sure that they have a good time and maybe learn a little along the way. Right now we have 21 volunteers and we really need just a few more.
We meet every Monday at Shangri-La from 5:00 to 6:30. Jack Moore and I take of the scheduling, etc. All you have to do is show up as much as possible. This is the most rewarding thing that I have ever done and I really would like to share it with some others. Please give me a call. 405-834-3217.
GREAT SURPRISE
The new 1909 Restaurant in Grove is actually more than expected. Our little “metropolis” has needed an upscale eating and gathering place. Now we have it. Prices are very reasonable. I had the old standard cheeseburger and it was actually char-broiled to perfection. My buddy Gerald Barry had Rotisserie Chicken and he raved about it. Service was excellent and very professional. I highly recommend this place.

GOLF TIP OF THE WEEK
It is just so simple, the more you practice the better you get. Practice is the only way that you can earn the right to complain about your game. I love it when I’m teaching a group that all works together or plays together, ie: bank employees, etc.
If you want your group of friend/co-workers to take a group lesson (or sessions) and “share the cost” to get the price down, give me a call. Steve at 405-834-3217.
This is a really economical way to get some basic first hand golf swing information. Good golf swing information applies to beginning as well as experienced golfers.

GOLF JOKE of THE WEEK
From my friend Roger Cook:
One day, while an elderly golfer was chipping his ball from near a water hazard, his club fell into the water. When he cried out in anguish, the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying?" The golfer replied that his club had fallen into water, and he needed the club to win the tournament to supplement his meager pension. The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden club. "Is this your club?" the Lord asked. The golfer replied, "No." The Lord again went down and came up with a silver club. "Is this your club?" the Lord asked. Again, the golfer replied,"No." The Lord went down again and came up with an iron club. "Is this your club?" the Lord asked. The golfer replied, "Yes." The Lord was pleased with the golfer's honesty and gave him all three clubs to keep, and the golfer went home happy. Sometime later on, the golfer was walking with his wife along the water hazard, when she fell in. When he cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?" "Oh Lord, my woman has fallen into the water!" The Lord went down into the water and came up with Kate Upton. "Is this your woman?" the Lord asked. "Yes," cried the golfer. The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!" The golfer replied, "Oh, forgive me Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to Kate Upton, you would have come up with Jennifer Anniston. Then if I said 'no' to her, you would have come up with my woman. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. And Lord, I am an old man not able to take care of all three women in a way that they deserve, that's why I said yes to Kate Upton." And God was pleased.
The moral of this story is: If a golfer ever tells a lie, it is for a good and honorable reason, and only out of consideration for others!
HAPPY GOLFIN !
