John and Janet Salamon are the new Pro-Shop managers at the Sullivan County Golf & Country Club on Route 52 in Liberty.
John, 67, noted that he and his wife took on management of the pro shop last year in April. He has played golf all his life and worked in his youth years as a caddy.
John and Janet have been Sullivan County residents for about 40 years, previously living in both Connecticut and New Jersey.
Prior to taking over the golf pro shop as an independent contractor John owned and operated the John Salamon Appraisal company for 15 years and previous to that did appraisal work 10 years for a bank.
The Sullivan County Golf & Country Club is owned by members who are stockholders and a board of directors. Mike Rushanski is president of the board of directors.
Clay Huebsch is the groundskeeper for the club.
Salamon said that his goal for this season "is to let the general public know that Sullivan County Golf & Country Club welcomes all players from beginners to experienced players and that everyone can have fun here."
He pointed out that the course offers a beautiful view and is a challenging course with affordable green fees.
The Sullivan County Golf & Country Club is also the home of the 52 Steakhouse, which is now under new management. They serve lunch and dinner.
Special group rates of 20 or more is also available.
The course also offers company outings for employees as well as tournaments for fund raisers.
Clubs are available for rent and the pro shop is equipped with all the items needed for your next round of golf.
Membership on this course that was opened in 1925 has both certificate and seasonal memberships. Seasonal memberships cost $400 before April 1 and $450 after that date. Certificate memberships cost $1,300 with a first year initiation fee of $1,000.
Daily golf fees Monday-Friday are $20 for 9 holes and $25 for 18 holes and this includes the cost of the golf cart. Saturday, Sunday and holidays the fees are $25 and $30.
Salamon said the course also has a "punched coupon" special and if you play the course five times the sixth time is free and all you pay for is the cart. Senior citizens get $5 off the regular tates and another special play coupon offers $5 off play Monday-Friday.
The course plays host to four leagues, Monday Men's, Ladies league on Tuesday, Men's league on Wednesday and a Mixed league on Thursday.

Golf Tip
By Robert Menges
Many things can lead to inconsistent putting results, but distance and direction are the a reas we should always have at the top of our "How can I be more consistent?" list. Distance is the biggest cause of inconsistency, because it equates to the "feel" of the putt and also ends up controlling the direction after impact. as we've all learned, more speed equals less break, and less speed leads to more break.
On the other side of the coin, direction is the control we have in getting the golf ball started in the right direction before gravity and undulation take over the roll and path of the ball. Mixed in with all this is the factor that these two distinctions have to work together, if we are to enjoy any success in putting.
Another way of looking at this is to think of our hands as the rudder and the engine/propeller of a boat.
The rudder of the board contorts the direction, while the engine/propeller generates the speed and distance.
When putting, our lead hand is the rudder.....it's along for the ride, but is also makes sure you are staying square to the target. The trail hand, which is usually our dominant hand, is the engine/propeller and determines how far the ball goes.
So, each "part" has its own function....and a very important function....but one working without the other is either a board going in circles (no rudder) or simply going nowhere (no engine).
An important key to developing more reliability with our distance and direction is to minimize hand and wrist movement, which, in turn, will maximize feel and control.
