Captain's Comment

 

Where Did The Summer Go?

It is hard to believe that Fall is upon us and September has come to an end. It is remarkable how the days are becoming shorter. The temperatures are still pleasant, however, it is truly cooler in the mornings; a sure reminder that colder weather is on its way. With Fall slowly creeping in, some of the best golf weather is yet to come. Mother nature is not yet done and the Fall season has much more to offer. Just because summer has ended, don't think the golf season has as well.

Our Member Guest went well with great golf, fine food and a few First time Winners! There was even a HOLE IN ONE on our 5th hole...Congrats to Mike Wahl on that accomplishment!! Our Member Member had to be postponed due to inclement weather; however, we have rescheduled it for this upcoming Sunday, Oct. 4th!

The "End of the Summer" League Banquets were held....Both the Women's "Wednesday" Night League and Friday Night "Couples" League all had their Banquets awarding prizes to the Winners and presenting SPECIAL Awards to some! The Wed. Night Men's League Banquet will be held this month. Thanks to all the volunteers who did a remarkable job in running the Leagues. It is not an easy job, so I thank you all for your patience and time!

The last Season End transmission & Revision for Handicaps will be on Nov. 11th...Handicaps will continue to be updated during the "off season" once a month. So continue to post your scores during the "off season"....."Off Season" begins Dec. 1st.

You can continue to post scores throughout the winter whether you play here in Rhode Island or elsewhere. The only thing you need to remember is when you are out of state, you sign in as a Guest Score Posting. You will then have to enter your GHIN number, not your local number. ( You can only use your local number in RI) Use your GHIN number out of state...... Your GHIN number can be found on your handicap label.... Once you enter your GHIN Number, everything else from there is self explanatory. Their rating and slopes from that particular course and the name of the course will already be in the system, you will only need to type in your GHIN number and your name...Once you post that score, all that inforation will then be routed to your Home course, Woodland Greens.....

Your "2010" Golf Membership Applications can now be found on the web.. Please visit our website www.woodlandgc.com to get yours...

Don't put those Golf Clubs down just yet.....Play, have fun and enjoy the Fall Season with some great golf.

Golf Tip of the Month

Often the difference between a strong, powerful swing and a misguided hack is the tendency to hit, rather than stroke, the ball. The difference can be seen when examining a short putt, when it is easy to stroke the ball. Hitting is not an option for a short putt, which makes it the easiest shot in golf. No desire to hit the ball allows a stroking, swinging motion. Perfect this technique for short-distance shots and you will find increasing accuracy and distance with your long shots as well...
