Father and Son Tournament Recap: This event has traditionally been scored with the Callaway handicap format. Callaway scoring is used for net scoring when players do not have official handicaps. This year, most of the players did have handicaps, so we scored the best-ball event using handicaps for those players. In addition, we scored all teams using the Callaway method.
Rob and George Lynch won low gross with a score of 71. Low net honors went to TJ and Nick Lombardini with a score of 60. Tom and Thomas Busa finished 2nd net two strokes back with 62.
Chris and Kevin Ouellette were winners in the Callaway Handicapped net division with a score of 70. Jim and Matt Harding finished runner-up with 71.

There have been three hole-in-ones so far this year to report.
Tony Battaglia scored an ace on the 17th hole on May 25th. Bill Wood recorded his hole-in-one on the 14th hole on May 19th. And finally, Joe McMenimen Jr. hit the magical shot on the 17th hole, May 26th.
Congratulations to Tony, Bill and Joe! | | |

| | Course designers are clearly in league with golf ball manufacturers. How many golf courses have a Par 3, about 5 Iron distance, with water on the right? They know that an Iron over 38“ long and less than 28° of loft has a good chance of going right. | | | | | | | Ten years ago, we told you that your 4 Iron loft had strengthened to become the same loft as the previous year’s 3 Iron. Your 5 Iron will today will have the same loft as that 3 Iron. | Without question, most golfers ought to be replacing their 5 Iron with a Hybrid. They should be investing in improving their technique. And smiling as they walk up to their ball on the green. It makes it easier to enjoy the geese! It also means you’re buying less golf balls. | | | | Bring your problem distance to us. Let us spend time whether improving your technique with an existing club, or filling the gap with a better solution. Come and spend 45 minutes with us, and let’s see how best to fill that gap. | | |

The question now is; how quickly and easily can you go lower? | | | | We’ll start with an assessment of each golfer to identify the personal opportunities, but our experience tells us that the improvement areas will lead to: | | | | | If that’s a golf experience that appeals to you, then please don’t wait.
