Serious golf tournaments certainly have their place in this great sport but we are finding more and more golfers who like to get in those friendly fun-filled captain and his crew best ball tournaments where handicaps do not come into play.
These captain and his crew tournaments have all four golfers hitting their tee shots and from there on into the cup all four golfers play the best ball. A nice fun-filled addition to the game of golf.
Such was the case on Sunday, July 29 when the Roscoe Twin Village Golf Club hosted the 17th annual Roscoe Kiwanis golf tournament under the leadership of tournament director Jim Tempel and his very able assistant Joe Schulte.
A beautiful sunny afternoon greeted golfers as they teed off at the 1 p.m. shotgun start.
Tremendous support for this tournament came from those who donated prizes and hole sponsors.
Huindreds of dollars in prizes for a drawing that took place following a cocktail hour and dinner at the Rockland House came from Kirchner Chevrolet and Dodge, Roscoe Lumber Yard, Bank of America, M & T Bank, Peck's Market, Spiro's, Buffalo Zach's, Roscoe Diner, Fairway Inn, Morning Star Creations, Tennanah Lake Golf and Tennis Club, Twin Village Golf Club, Terry Brae Golf Course, Lochmore Golf Course, Swan Lake Golf Course, Sullivan County Golf & Country Club, Kutsher's Country Club, First National Bank of Jeffersonville, Schmidt's Wholesale. Verona Oil Company, Raimondo's Restaurant and Anna May's Beauty Salon.
Hole sponsors included Butternut Grove Campsite, Clark Companies, Olympian Nutrition, Armstrong Builders, Michael Decker Construction, Mirabito Fuel, James Stevenson Construction, Creelside Ventures, Napa Auto Parks, M & T Bank, First National Bank of Jeffersonville, Roscoe Coffee Shop, Stone Realty, Austin Physical Therapy, The Little Store, Sunoco Country Store, Elliott & Pomeroy Real Estate, Harris Funeral Home, Johnston & Rhodes, Kohler Lumber, Mike Preis Insurance, Meisner Electric, Annie's Place, Joe and Ron Schulte, Mary Dette Flies, Tom Darbee Plumbing, John's Barber Shop, Tiny's Auto, Catskill Grocer, Exxon, Riverside Cafe, Pat Murtagh and the Rockland House.

The Golf Tip
By Robert Menges
Scoring is all about getting the ball in the hole with the least amount of strokes, and the short game is a key component to accomplishing this.
One of the ways to improve the short game is to work on distance control.
In this drill, I set up four targets....whether it's buckets or whatever visual object you can find....with distances ranging from 10 to 40 yards.
After the targets are in place you then hit one ball at each target in sequence. By hitting at different targets in sequence, you once again will prevent yourself f rom locking in to one distance. In the long run, this will help you develop better feel for your distance control.
As far as club selection, I suggest you start with your 5 degree wedge for this drill, and then experiment with your other wedges. The key here is to develop your touch for the different distances.

Sometimes you come across something that just feels right.
This is one of those times.
Marriott Golf has introduced a program where children 15 and under can use a rental set at no charge when playing golf with a paying adult. This is an extension of a program where children 15 and under can play for gratis with a paying adult at Marriott Resort facilities across the country. Now the clubs will also be included. The clubs are Accu-Length Junior Golf Clubs. Restrictions apply, but now there's no excuse for leaving the little ones in the hotel room.
