HEY GOLFER’S, IT’S SPRING …. Halleluiah !
For some reason it seems that it has been forever since we really had good warm weather. It has been a very mild winter and I am sure this will make all of the courses better.
Chris Buck, Superintendent, and his crew over at Patricia Island have prepared and been rewarded with the best rolling greens that I’ve played in a long time. Just writing about it makes me want to go play, but the powers over at The Chronicle are waiting for the finished version of this article, so here I sit pecking away at this keyboard. Could be worse!

LADIES GOLF ASSOCIATION (Patricia Island)
announces their organizational and sign-up meeting, March 26th at 10 am at Patricia Island Golf club. Any lady golfer is invited. You do not have to be a member of Patricia Island Golf Club to participate. The public is invited. You do not have to be a good golfer to join. The only requirements are that you are female and enjoy golf. Dues are minimal and association members get to have great fellowship. I conduct some free clinics for the ladies and they have all sorts of golf activities throughout the season. This is a very fun group of gals and I highly recommend that you join. For more info call the pro shop at 918-786-3338 Ext 3.

NEW AA MEETING
I know this info has nothing to do with golf, however, to whoever might be interested, there is a new AA meeting on Thursday evenings at 7 pm on Monkey Island. The meeting room is next door to the bakery that is across the street from She-Bangs restaurant.

GOLF TIP of the WEEK
Swing your club as much as possible in your backyard or similar while holding the grip in your fingertips. This will force you start feeling a good release. Most golfers tend to grip too tightly and to not release to the target.

GOLF JOKE of the WEEK
“Honey, shut up” said the golfer to his nagging wife.
“Shut up or you will drive me out of my mind.”
She replied, “That wouldn’t be a drive, it would be a putt!”

Keep it in the Middle!
