Looks like Mother Nature is on our side now after the 7 straight days of rain in May. The course is coming along nicely. Aerating of the greens has been completed and day by day the course is getting back in shape. There are many events coming up this month, and my main goal is to get the course in "tip top" shape for your golfing pleasure.
The Member-Member Tournament was a great success with many new faces as Winners this year! Congratulations to all of them!
Guest Day on Memorial Day weekend was a lot of fun with a full field of golfers participating. What better way to start the Holiday Weekend off than with a day of golf with friends followed by a succulent dinner of shrimp cocktail, steamers, chowder and clam cakes; Ron outdoing himself again! It surely was a day of fun and relaxation. I want to thank each and every one of you for your support in these events.
We have some exciting upcoming Tournaments scheduled for this month. The Two Day-Member Guest with the Winner receiving a 2007 Golf Membership; and the Mixed Scotch which is always a lot of fun with many laughs. Do sign up for these Tournaments.....Support your Club!
Well for now, enjoy the rest of the Spring and I hope to see you on the course.
Happy Golfing
Dave

First Swing Rhode Island
Hello Everyone:
For some of you who do not know, I am the Executive Director of First Swing Rhode Island, a non-profit organization which helps physically-challenged individuals either learn or re-learn the game of golf.
On June 17, we are having our annual Learn to Golf Clinic at Buttonhole. If you know of someone who could benefit from our program, or would like to volunteer your time for a few hours please let me know.
It is a GREAT way to give back to the game, and it is a very rewarding experience to see the joy that you can give others in helping them enjoy the game of golf.
Thanks!

Birthday/Anniversary/Congratulations
CONGRATULATIONS TO Rosemary Richardson ~ HOLE IN ONE!!!
OSWGA ~ RI Women's State Presidents' Cup @ Richmond Golf Course ~ May 8th...
Way to go Rosemary!!
Rosemary (Soares) Richardson was a co-winner of the Golf Hers/OSWGA Player of the Month. She scored her first hole-in-one at the OSWGA’s President’s Cup in Richmond on May 8th. For the 71-year-old Richardson who lives in Warwick, a Member here at Woodland Greens with a 25 handicap, “It was such a thrill! The ball looked like it was right at it, but we couldn’t see the hole. When we got close to the green there was no ball there, so I took out my chipper. I decided to look in the hole on the way by, and I couldn’t believe it was actually in it.” Richardson has been married to her husband, David, for six years. “We met on the golf course at Seaview; my first husband, Jack Soares, died in 1996,” she said. She has five sons who all live in Rhode Island. (Article compliments of Ocean State Magazine)

Golf Tip of the Month: The Two Deadly Sins in Chipping
Pace - When you make your practice swings be very aware of the pace at which you are swinging the club. When you execute, try to make sure it is at the same pace as the practice swings. Changing the speed from your practice swing, produces a poor result.
Stay down - Keep your eye on the spot where the ball was after you have hit it. DO NOT move your head at all. Make sure you are in the same posture following the chip as you were at address.
Good Luck!
