HOLE IN ONE REPORT
This is not an April Fool’s Joke. This was reported by a bitter loser of a bet placed right before OTIS WINTERS aced hole #11 at Patricia Island Golf Course in Grove, OK with a sand wedge March 29th. The loser of the bet and a good friend, Vernon Brady lost a soda to Otis. Congrats Otis.
LOCAL ANNOUNCEMENT
- GRAND LAKE GOLF SCHOOL at Patricia Island is now the official “Fitter” for www.fitchip.com in this area. This is a new fitting system in which we can measure instantaneously if you have the right frequency shafts in your clubs. The inventor and developer proved to me that 60% of all golfers are playing with the wrong shaft frequency. Simplified, this just means you either, get the club face square back to the ball naturally or by force. Naturally is of course best.
We offer a fitting and swing lesson for $50; If you replace and order your shafts at $40 each including grip, we credit the $50 to your purchase.
- The annual Grove Area Chamber golf tournament will be held on Friday May 21 at Grove’s Patricia Island Golf Course. A highlight of the fundraiser this year will be a $10,000 jackpot awarded to any golfer striking a hole in one.

I am fortunately being joined in teaching by Gregg Compton and Sean O’Grady and occasionally Andy Stewart. If you miss a class, we’ll do a 30 min. make up session for $15. No limit on class size because we have plenty of instructors. Gregg and Sean are very much in to teaching “just the basics” like me. (I guess I will stop enrollment at 30). I have a little different itinerary but I still guarantee satisfaction! We will do a little more on the course activity as well as better video analysis. Encourage your lady friends and family to come with you.
Keep it in the Middle!
Steve
