Bridgestone Ball Fitting – Wednesday, July 13, 2011 – 11:00 am – 3:00 pm
The 2010 edition was such a success (Cassel Hills had one of the highest turnout rates in the nation!), that the Bridgestone Ball Fitting Experience has returned for 2011. This is the program you see advertised on golf telecasts; one of the hottest programs in golf. SO….you need to act fast to gain a spot. The technicians will be here for only 4 hours and space is limited. An appointment are required, call 890-1300 to schedule an appointment.
Club Championship Stroke Play Results
Round One: Josh Alcorn and Jake North dusted the field in Saturday’s opening round by shooting 69 and 71 respectively. The only other player to post a score under 75 was the venerable Joe Trimbach (74).
Round Two: The weather was fairly dismal at the start of the round but the steadily improving conditions provided a weather window that allowed the event to be completed. Josh and Jake were paired together and slugged it out during the final round. Jake finally caught Josh at #11, and finally grabbed the lead for good away with a birdie at #17. His final round 73 gave him a 144 total and a three shot victory.

Rants and Raves
Raves:
Rory McIlroy – He put to rest the Master’s meltdown.
Lee Trevino- On the June 21 edition of “Feherty” on the Golf Channel Lee said Tiger’s career is likely over if he doesn’t change his swing to take the pressure off his knee.
David Feherty – Your new show on the Golf Channel is a breath of fresh air. Talk about a brain the works different from everyone else.
Jon Thoma (former OSU punter) – For his heartfelt article about Coach Tressel. If you haven’t seen the piece, Google this article.
Tee it Forward – For bringing some sensibility to the golf market place. This initiative encourages players to play a course yardage based on the length of their tee shots. This enables all players with the chance to see a golf course the way a PGA Tour pro does!
Jeff Hoagland – The former Vandalia City Manager has been promoted to CEO of the Dayton Development Coalition. Ahh, we knew him when…..
Jake North – Stroke Play Champion – Well done, a nice breakthrough.
Mike Arnold – Eagle 2 on #14 (June 25th)
Scott Hadder- Started Round 2 of the Stroke Play Championship with an Eagle 3 on #1, in the rain!
Rants:
Divots: C’mon Man! Quite elementary, follow this procedure. After you hit your shot, take a few steps forward, bend over, pick up the divot, then walk back a few steps and put the divot back from whence you removed it! If this is too hard, then play miniature golf, precisely where you belong. I’m not even going to mention ball bruises….
Point of View:
From time to time I witness displays of anger on the golf course. A wise young sports psychologist once told me, there is never a happy ending to an unhappy journey. Along those lines, I think this is a great story. A fairly well known tour player was admonished by the Commissioner for his lack of emotional control on the golf course. Part of his penance was to meet with an anger management professional. This player was contacted by PGA Tour’s recommended psychologist and the doctor asked to meet with the player at his home. Additionally he wanted the player to meet him in the player’s driveway and have his golf clubs with him. The psychologist arrives at the appointed time and gets out of the car. He walks up to the tour player and asks him to display the behavior that got him in trouble with the Commissioner. A bit puzzled by the request, the tour player responds, “This is my driveway, I’m not going to act like that!” To which the psychologist responds, “Then why do you think it is appropriate to do so on the golf course.”
Thanks John
