Happy May everyone.
I hope that you have floatation devices handy. It seems every year at this date we have the same or similar rain and flooding.

GOLF TIP OF THE WEEK
At set up….ALWAYS, always be sure that your Lead Ear is behind the ball. Keep it there for as long as you can. A great drill is to position yourself where you can see your shadow (sun at your back). Watch your head in the shadow and the less it moves during your swing the more likely you are to be consistent in your ball striking.

GOLF JOKE of THE WEEK
From my friend, Patty Northrup……The room was full of pregnant women with their husbands. The instructor said, "Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial - strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make delivery that much easier. Just pace yourself, make plenty of stops and try to stay on soft surfaces, like a grass path. "Gentlemen, remember -- you're in this together. It wouldn't hurt you to go walking with her.
In fact, that shared experience would be good for you both." The room suddenly became very quiet as the men absorbed this information. After a few moments a man, named Fred, at the back of the room, slowly raised his hand. "Yes?" said the Instructor.
"I was just wondering if it would be all right, if Patty carries a golf bag?" Brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it? (THIS LEVEL OF SENSITIVITY CAN'T BE TAUGHT)
Keep it in the Middle !
