Redneck Cross Country event at Cherokee Grove Golf Course

Start your day with biscuits and gravy. Save the date November 4^th for fun at the Grove. Straw hats, red bandanas, and overalls are welcome. Shoes and shirts are required. We will be playing foursomes. You may sign in at the Cherokee Grove Club House or call 918-786-4100. There will be a Great Prize for the best Redneck look.

GOLF ETIQUETTE

When two players in a cart hit to opposite sides of a hole, drive to the first ball and drop off the first player with his club, then drive to the second ball. Both players will hit and then meet at the hole.
When you walk from your cart to your ball, try to bring a few clubs with you instead of a solitary one. When you only take one, you might have to return to get a different club and this takes up a great deal of time.
After your group has finished putting, always leave the putting greens.

GOLF TIP OF THE WEEK

TRY THIS DRILL FOR CONSISTENT PUTTING
Sometimes your stroke can get out of whack, and you start mis-hitting the ball. Create a gate with two tees just wider than your putter head and hit putts without the club touching either tee (below). If you loop the putter head to the outside during the stroke, you'll bump the outside tee. If you swing it to the inside, you'll bump the inside tee. Go through clean, and you're hitting the ball in the center of the face. Just like any other shot in golf, if you catch it in the center, with the face square, you're going to get a good result.
