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, and although the temperatures are still pleasant, it is truly cooler in the mornings, a sure reminder that colder weather is in the future. With Fall comes some of the best golf weather the season has to offer. Fewer bugs, less humidity. Just because summer has ended, don't think the golf season has as well.
Our Member Guest and Member Member went well with great golf, fine food and a few first time winners!
The "End of the Summer" League Banquets were held....The Men's & Women's "Wednesday " Night Leagues and Friday Night "Couples" League all had their Banquets awarding prizes to the Winners and presenting SPECIAL Awards to some! 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 Wed. Night Men's League is well underway with their "FALL" Golf League. No one wanted to put away their Golf Clubs once the Wed. Night Men's "Summer" League came to an end....So the Men will play on!
We have some Tournaments coming up in October. Please be sure to check them out.... The "Senior Open" and "Glow Ball" are sure to be a lot of fun!.... So please get involved, sign up and Support your Club!
The last transmission for Handicaps will be on Oct. 18th. Your final 2005 Handicap Revision Cards can be picked up on Friday, Oct. 21st. Your "2006" Golf Membership Applications can be found on the web.. Please visit our website www.woodlandgc.com to get yours...
Also, RhodyGolf.com is planning a Winter Golf Trip during the PGA Merchandise Show. You can check out virtual tours of two of the courses they played last year: Eagle Creek and Legends Golf Club. For more information you may click HERE or contact Dan Clawson at (401) 580-4476.
So for now, don't put those Golf Clubs down just yet.....Play, have fun and enjoy Fall golf. It can be great!

Tip of the Month
Retool reshape & rebuild your game for spring
The golfing season is nearing the end for many players. It's time to consider preparations for next season. If you're interested in making equipment changes Fall is the time to do it. You can test different golf clubs and you'll find good pricing from the retailers.
Take the time to get fitted by an expert club fitter making sure that you have the correct length, loft, lie and grip size. Visit the practice range to become accustomed to your new clubs so they don't feel foreign next spring.
Try to keep your body in shape through the Fall and Winter with golf stretches and some aerobic activity so that you can maintain your stamina once you hit the course again next season.
So this month's Golf Tip is to get fit physically and mentally to enjoy your best season ever!
