Play 2 Courses With 1 Membership
The Board of Directors of the Roscoe based Twin Village Golf Club and
the new management team at the Sullivan County Golf & Country Club
in Liberty jointly have announced a one membership two golf course play
agreement.
Both clubs are 9-hole golf facilities.
The
agreement simply means that certificate and seasonal members at both
clubs will be able to play both golf courses without paying green fees
but will have to pay cart rental fees.
Both clubs will now honor each others membership golfers.
The two club agreement is also looking at joint competition between their leagues and tournament competitions.
Ed's Outlook
Local Sullivan County golf professionals and golf course managers are
all saying that they are amazed at how early the golf season has started
in Sullivan County.
The combination of a mild winter and early
spring warm temperatures resulted in the opening of some courses in late
March and all the courses are now fully open.
All golf course maintenance staffs got an early start and we have a great start for the 2016 Sullivan County golf season.
Several golf professionals noted that their maintenance staffs have
reported very little damage caused by the mild winter
weather.
With this column we are starting our 15th season writing about one of our favorite sports.
We will provide you with a column filled with golf leagues statistics
and standings, golf tournament information, golf trips and vacation

Golf Tip
By Bob Menges
To stay young....play Golf.
In today's day, with modern medicine and advances in science, people are living longer and healthier lives.
Many senior citizens are exercising and eating right to maintain an active life.
Research shows that playing golf can add years to our life and help to keep the mind sharp.
I believe there is no other way to enjoy nature than being our on the
course. Seeing the animals and hearing the birds chirp certainly gives a
sense of appreciation for life.
Most golf courses afford gorgeous
views, vibrant color and good old fashioned fresh air. There is no
better way to spend a few hours with a group of friends while walking,
riding, talking and laughing you way around the course.
Everyone
knows what a mental game golf is. One of the best ways to keep the mind
sharp is to have one use your mind for the technical side of golf.
Golf is the perfect sport for this because you are getting mental
stimulation, you are counting strokes and analyzing your next shot.
In the search for the fountain of youth, let golf help you find your
way. By getting exercise, stimulating your mind and having social
interaction, you can stay younger and live longer.
Robert Menges is
the head golf professional at the Swan Lake Golf & Country Club,
Mt. Hope Road, Swan Lake. He is available for private lessons and if you
have a question or subject you would like covered, he can be reached at

The Putting Tip
By Joe Bermel
Pre Putt Routine (PPR)
Always use The Putting Doctor Pre Putt Routine for every putting stroke.
It must be exacting, specific and methodical.
Every element of the PPR has specific meaning and purpose.
Paramount, at final address, to look down at the hole, look back to the ball, and without delay.....pull the trigger.
