Birdee GolfA lot of us go out in the backyard with a wedge and chip some balls around. A few of the more excitable among us can’t resist taking a full swing. A fine idea if you don’t have any neighbors or care much about your lawn. That is until BIRDEE GOLF launched onto the scene late last year being featured in the Best New Product Zone at this years National PGA Show in Orlando and being voted Best New Product in the most recent Minneapolis Golf Show by TwinCitiesGolf.com. BIRDEE GOLF consists of 2 target nets (no assembly and sets up in seconds!) and 6-patented birdees (golf ball/shuttle combo) and a nylon-carrying bag for easy storage and portability. BIRDEE GOLF’S flexibility allows you to not only play a very exciting full swing golf game but also makes for a great limited flight training aid. The patented birdees hit and react just like a real golf ball allowing you to fine tune your accuracy on a variety of wedge shots at varying swing speeds and the one piece molded design won’t break apart like other models.

Whether on the beach, in the yard or tailgating BIRDEE GOLF allows you to have fun, work on your game and satisfy that urge to reach back and crush it!

First  Tee  offer  all  this  and  more,  while  teaching  kids  the  great  game  of  golf.

During  2012,  Tee  Times  Press  is  running  a  series  of  articles  focusing  on  the  many  organizations,  both  public  and  private,  that  support  the  growth  of  golf  in  Minnesota.  The  organizations  being  

Minnesota  Woman’s  Golf  Association,  the  EWGA  and  the  Fairway  Foundation.

THE  MINNESOTA  MINORITY  JUNIOR  GOLF  ASSOCIATIONOne  of  the  best  ways  to  grow  the  game  of  golf  is  to  demonstrate  the  game’s  gifts  to  a  youngster  at  an  early  age.  No  one  takes  this  idea  to  heart  more  than  F.  Clayton  Tyler.  This  Minneapolis  attorney  gained  so  much  from  his  years  caddying  at  Minneapolis  public  golf  courses,  that  he  took  it  upon  himself  to  develop  a  program  designed  to  instill  the  values  he  learned  from  his  childhood  golf  experiences.

LEARNING  FROM  A  LEGEND

American  quarterback  and  a  player  on  the  Gophers’  national  championship  team.  Arising  at  6  a.m.  to  caddy  for  the  college  Hall  of  Famer  taught  Tyler  about  the  importance  of  commitment.    Also,   the  money  management   skills   that  became  necessary  with  newfound  caddy   income  

people  Tyler  met  at  various  golf  courses,  proved  to  be  an  early  lesson  in  networking  to  which  Tyler  adheres  today.  

The  Minnesota  Minority  Junior  Golf  Association  is   the   legacy  spurred  by  Tyler’s  positive  experiences  as  a  caddy.  In  1987,  the  MMJGA  began  as  a  charitable  organization  designed  to   support   minority   junior   golf   and   create   opportunities   through   the   game.   In   1999,   the  organization  evolved  into  its  present  form  when  its  caddy  program  took  shape.

“I  wanted   this   program   to   be   so  much  more   than   just   teaching   a   child   how   to   play   golf.  I   felt   MMJGA   should   be   about   life   lessons   on   issues   like   integrity,   discipline,   learning  responsibility,  earning  money,  and  the  value  of  hard  work.  Caddying  teaches  a  youngster  all  these  things,”  Tyler  said.

CADDY  SUCCESS  STORIESTyler  was  asked  if  there  were  spontaneous  offshoots  of  the  program  that  surprised  him.  Tyler  recalled  attending  a  scholarship  banquet  at  a  Minneapolis  church.  The  banquet  had  nothing  to  do  with  golf.  Much   to  Tyler’s  delight,  an   impromptu  MMJGA  testimonial  came  out  of  

through   our   program.  He   got   up   in   front   of   the   people   assembled   and   said   he  wanted   to  thank  me  and  our  Executive  Director  Jackie  Cherryholmes.  He  said  our  caddying  program  taught  him  so  much  about  perseverance  and  hard  work.  This  young  man  said  that  the  traits  he  

One  of  MMJGA  favorite  success  stories  is  Sasha  Phillips,  a  program  grad  who  went  on  to  

Phillips  was  barely  big  enough  to  carry  a  golf  bag  18  holes.  In  2008,  Phillips  earned  a  Bachelor  in  Urban  Studies  from  the  U  of  M.  One  of  MMJGA’s  shining  stars,  Phillips  regularly  comes  back  to  tell  her  personal  before  and  after  narrative  at  new  caddy  recruiting  events.  

Tyler  revealed  that  one  of  the  best  dividends  of  the  MMJGA  caddy  program  is  how  it  impacts  

parents  are  involved,  too.  The  encouraging  nudge  that  a  parent  provides  helps  greatly  with  a  child’s  overall  commitment.  There  are  positives  across  the  board  when  the  parent  becomes  involved   and   the   child   starts   earning  money   through   the   game   of   golf.  We’ve   had  many  parents  tell  us  about  the  difference  our  program  has  made  in  their  lives,”  Tyler  said.

THE   FIRST   TEE   –   LEARNING   ABOUT   LIFE  THROUGH  GOLFThe  First  Tee  is  a  national  junior  program  with  local  ties  that  is  also  helping  youngsters  grow  through  golf.  According  to  First  Tee  of  St.  Paul’s  Executive  Director  Brian  Simpson,  golf  is   a   tremendous   vehicle   for   teaching   a   child   core   personal  values.  “Honesty  and  Integrity  are  the  keys  to  success.  Golf  

charge  when  no  one  else  is  watching,”  Simpson  said.

Ask   any   pro   and   they’ll   say   it’s   great   to   teach   someone   before   bad   habits   are   ingrained.  What’s  interesting  is  that  the  key  strategies  consistently  practiced  by  the  best  golfers  apply  perfectly  to  success  in  life.  Check  out  First  Tee’s  Life  Skills  program  fundamentals  and  see  how  the  fundamentals  in  golf  and  life  parallel  each  other.

WHAT’S  PAR  FOR  THE  COURSE  IN  YOUR  LIFE?In  addition   to   learning   the  proper  golf  grip,   stance,   and   short  game  skills,  youngsters  put  through  the  paces  of  First  Tee’s  Life  Skills  training  learn  the  essential  traits  to  prospering  in  life  and  business.

Respecting  the  rules,  meeting  and  greeting,  positively  stating  an  important  goal,  dealing  with  

some  of  the  skills  learned,  as  well  as  practiced,  by  First  Tee  participants.  The  next  important  

“As  a  youngster  nears   the  completion  of  our  program,  they’re  expected  to  give  back.  The  participant  is  given  the  opportunity  to  either  help  a  newcomer  to  our  program  or  volunteer  in  the  community.  This  is  a  wonderful  chance  for  those  who’ve  been  helped  to  help  others,”  Simpson  explained.

First  Tee  of  St.  Paul  will  work  with  1,000  youngsters  in  2012.  In  addition  to  St.  Paul,  there  are  four  other  Twin  Cities  locations  from  which  to  choose.  Simpson  noted  that  through  donations  and  grants,  St.  Paul’s  Highland  Park  Golf  Course  is  opening  a  new  kids’  learning  center  on  their  golf  range.  Another  exciting  development  is  that  family  members  of  military  personnel  get  free  golf  and  life  lessons  through  First  Tee.

Simpson  echoed  the  beliefs  of  MMJGA’s  Clayton  Tyler  when  he  shared  the  silver  lining  to  the  First  Tee  program.  “We’re  focused  on  breaking  down  barriers  and  creating  opportunities  for  kids.  We’re  also  all  about  seeing  kids  achieve  their  dreams,”  Simpson  said.

The  overriding  philosophy  of  this  book  is:  The  most  controllable  goal  you  can  have  is  to  hit  every  shot  with   total  commitment.  Go  after  each  shot  with  a  complete  sense  of  purpose.  If  you  share  this  idea  with  your  playing  partner  (the  guy  who  stands  over  the  ball  for  an  eternity,)  you’ll  both  have  more  fun.

wheels   grinding   in   his   or   her   head  

behavior   would   not   have   occurred   if  your   partner   had   read   the   book   Every  

Shot  Must  Have  a  Purpose.

Author   Pia   Nilsson   (Annika   Sorenstam’s   coach)   believes   a   thought   plan   should   be  determined  prior  to  setting  up  to  the  ball.  Once  you  step  up  to  the  ball,  you  should  have  already  committed  to  your  plan,  and  all  that’s  left  is  to  swing.

Any   indecision   should  occur  prior   to   address  or  when  you’re   in  what  Nilsson   calls   the  Think  Box.  Once  a  golfer  enters  the  Play  Box  you  make  your  grip,  aim  your  clubface,  align  your  body,  make  a  connection  to  your  target,  and  swing.  Decide,  commit,  and  swing.  It’s  as  simple  as  that.

without  even  realizing  it.  Even  our  very  own  Kim  Benjamin,  editor  of  Tee  Times  Press,  shows  off  her  Loudmouth  skirts  any  time  she  has  the  opportunity!  Loudmouth  Golf,  which  was  founded  at  the  turn  of  the  century  in  2000,  is  taking  the  fashion  side  of  golf  to  a  whole  new  level,  even  more  so  than  guys  like  Ian  Poulter  and  Rickie  Fowler.  No  more  plain   khaki,   grey,   or   navy:   featuring   a   lineup   that   balances   classic  looks  from  decades  past  with  a  bright  eye  for  the  future  of  the  sport,  Loudmouth  golf  makes  a  statement  that  sets  the  brand  apart  from  any  others  in  the  industry.  

Founder  and  Chief  Designer  Scott  “Woody”  Woodworth  started  the  company  because  “golfers  used  to  dress  like  this  in  the  Seventies.  We  all  remember  that,  or  if  you’re  too  young  you’ve  seen  pictures  of  it.  The  standard  joke  is   that  golf  and  fashion  don’t  mix;   the   [conventional]  pants   are   almost   a   joke   in   themselves.   I   started   the  

stuff   anywhere.   I   needed   to   dress   like   that   on   the  golf  course  because  that’s  the  way  I  wanted  to  play.  We  want  people  to  have  fun  in  our  products.  None  of  our  competitors  seem  willing  to  do  it,  which  is  

“By  the  way,”  CEO  Larry  Jackson  explains,  “our  avatars   on  World   Golf   Tour   (wgt.com)   walk  all   18   holes   naturally   smiling,   and   at   the   end  of  their  rounds  they’re  picking  up  chicks  in  the  

It’s  safe  to  assume  Jackson  is  joking,  but  it’s  worth  

representative   for   Loudmouth   on   the   PGA  TOUR,  though   Robert   Gamez   also   sports   the   colorful  attire.  Sara  Brown,  winner  of  Golf  Channel’s  Big  

Break:  Sandals  Resorts,   is  “100%  Loudmouth”.  Additional  Loudmouth  celebrities   include  the  likes  of  Bill  Murray,  George  Lopez,  Jim  McMahon,  George  Brett  and  rocker  turned  golfer  Alice  Cooper.  Pornanong  Phatlum,  from  Thailand,  wore  Loudmouth  threads  when  capturing  a  victory  on   the  LPGA  Tour   last  month   as  well.   “We’ve  got   a   lot  of   ladies,   plus   a   lot  of  

The  leading  Loudmouths,  Woody  and  Larry,  disagree  on  which  is  the  best  way  to  wear  your  Loudmouth   gear.  Woody   offers   the   suggestion   of   only  wearing   a   solid   colored   golf   shirt  (black  looks  good  with  virtually  ALL  Loudmouth  pants)  to  really  let  the  pants  stand  out  and  

the  best  way  to  go.  However,  they  both  agree  that  wearing  full  Loudmouth  suits  is  the  smart  choice,  because  they  look  great  and  you’ll  get  the  complete  Loudmouth  effect.  

throwing  on  the  full  Loudmouth  is  a  lot  of  fun,  and  it  is  eye  opening.  For  a  TOUR  player,  they’re  almost  always  going  to  want  to  throw  a  solid  shirt  in  there,  but  with  everything  else  having  a  Loudmouth  pattern,  that’s  going  to  look  good  and  loud  and  still  not  fall  into  the  crazy  category.”      

Loudmouth  golf  also  makes  special  pants  for  special  events,  based  on  timing  and  inspiration.  For   example,   for   the   2007   U.S.   Open   at   Oakmont,   Loudmouth   designed   the   “Oakmont  Houndstooth”  pants  to  pay  homage  to  Johnny  Miller,  who  wore  that  same  look  during  his  

partner  at  NBC,  Dan  Hicks.  

Speaking   of  NBC,   for   the   2010  Olympic  Games   in  Vancouver,  Canada,   the  Norwegian  Curling  team  “turned  the  sport  on  its  ear”  while  donning  Loudmouth’s  “diamond”  pattern  

will   be   competing   in   a   new   line   of   patriotic   red,   white   and   blue  Loudmouth  board  shorts  and  resort  wear  during  the  2012  Olympics  in  London.  The  duo  is  favored  to  repeat  their  Gold  Medal  performance  in  this  year’s  Games.    

Jackson  says,  “All  of  our  golf  clothing  has  begun  to  move  beyond  golf  and  into   the  fashion  world.  However,  our  main  athletic  

beginning   to  grow  for  us   is  companies   that  want   to  brand  themselves.  We  are  now  designing  specialty  pants  and  shorts  with   corporate   logos   and   colors   so   companies   can   brand  themselves   in   interesting   and   exciting   pants   rather   than   just  doing  the  same  old  things  for  their  golf  tournaments,  sales  meetings,  giveaways  and  other  things.  We  have  done  specialty  pants  with  Home  Depot,  Pabst  Blue  Ribbon   and   several   charities.  Creating   specialty  pants  for  corporate  branding  is  a  very  big  future  opportunity  for  us.”  

If  you’ve  never  heard  of  Loudmouth  before,  or   are   even  aware  of  the   brand   but   have   never   given   it   a   try,   go   get   a   pair!  The   styles  are   plentiful   (not   to  mention,   obviously,   colorful),   and   can   inject  

if   enough  Minnesotans  wear   Loudmouth   to   the   golf   course,   Ian  Leonard  will  have  to  change  the  name  of  his  golf  tournament  to  the  “Loud  Pants  Open”.

Do you suggest static stretching before I play golf?

By  Matt  Just  -­  PGA  Golf  Professional  

Golf  Fitness  Instructor,  Life  Time  Fitness,  St.  Louis  Park“Hey Pro,

If  you  don’t  believe  me  go  ahead  and  Google  “Rickey  Fowler  golf  warm  up”  and  you  will  find  Fowler  and  his  personal  trainer  warming  up  with  techniques  known  as  dynamic  warm  up.    As  you  watch,   think  of   these  warm  ups  as  stretching  your  muscles  by  moving  them,  not  the  traditional  static   stretching   that   is   proven   to   have   little   benefit   and   many   even  do  more  harm   than  good.    When  most  people   think  of   stretching   they  think   of   toe   touches,   quad   stretches,   and   other   techniques   that   isolate  an   individual   muscle   in   a   lengthened   position   for   10   seconds.     Golf  fitness  and  Titleist  research  shows  that  stretching  doesn’t  reduce  injury  risk  and  may  actually  hurt  performance,  holding  a  stretch  will  activate  a   protective   reflex   that   temporarily   weakens   muscles.     Don’t   get   me  wrong,  stretching  can  increase  flexibility  but  it  doesn’t  boost  muscular  efficiency.  Still  confused…  think  of  the  analogy  this  way,  when  you  just  stand   there   and   statically   stretch   it’s  kind  of   like  you  purchased   some  empty  land,  and  forgot  to  develop  any  real  estate.    Dynamic  warm  up  is  development  of  real  estate.    

Dynamic   stretching   accomplishes   two   main   jobs;   recruits   the   major  

the   cold  muscles.     Examples   of   dynamic   stretching  would   be   arm  swings,  arm  circles,  leg  swings,  walking  lunges,  and  arms  crossed  

practical  note,  I  try  to  always  have  my  students  warm  up  in  a  dynamic  way;  in  my  opinion  I  think  dynamic  stretching  tricks  the  nervous  system  into  relaxing.      

In   closing,   here’s   a   tip   from   the   top:   never   force  cold  muscles  to  move  in  unnatural  ways.    If  you  

recommend  that  as  a  warm  up,  all  you  have  to  

warm  up!    It’s  that  easy.

PRO:  Shocking  answer  but  the  research  says  NO!    Many  top  athletes  and  trainers  argue  that  static  stretching  is  ineffective  and  potentially  unsafe.

Of  The  2012  U.S.  Women’s  Open  Championship

There   are   lots   of  interesting   things  

proud   Taiwanese  heritage,   her  obsession   with  Harry   Potter,   and  her  lucky  pink  shirt.    But,  here’s  the  main  thing   you   need   to  know   about   Tseng:  she   is   the   No.   1  ranked   women’s  

player  in  the  world  –  for  the  second  year  in  a  row.  And  many  experts   think   that   even   including   the   men;   she’s   the   best  golfer  in  the  world  right  now,  period.

Evidence  for  their  conclusion  is  convincing.  At  22  years,  six  months   and   eight   days   of   age,  Tseng’s   victory   at   the   2011  RICOH   Women’s   British   Open   Championship   made   her  

championships,  beating  the  record  held  by  Tiger  Woods.    

to  play  golf  in  the  United  States  at  the  age  of  15,  she  was  so  

simply  smile  and  nod  to  fans  on  the  course.  Today,  her  English  is  excellent,  but  she’s  still  generous  with  her  cheery  smile.

Yani’s  Favorite  Things  

   

 

In  anticipation  of  the  2012  U.S.  Women’s  Open  Championship,  conducted  by  the  United  States  Golf  Association  

of  many  of  the  LPGA’s  brightest  stars.  The  weekly  series  “Beyond  the  Ropes”  has  been  providing  a  peek  into  these  players’  lives  and  passions  outside  of  golf  and  showcases  personal  stories  of  the  professional  golfers  not  seen  before.  This  weekly  series  of  more  than  a  dozen  segments  is  featured  on  the  U.S.  Women’s  Open  Facebook  page  at  www.facebook.com/2012uswomensopen.

“These  women  are   incredible  athletes  and   they  have  devoted   their   lives   to   the  pursuit  of  excellence   in   this  challenging  sport,”  said  Jim  Richerson,  group  director  of  golf  for  Kohler  Co.  and  general  chairman  of  the  2012  U.S.  Women’s  Open.  “But  there’s  a  lot  more  to  them  than  golf,  and  I  think  this  video  series  shines  a  light  on  other  important  aspects  of  their  lives  and  helps  us  all  to  get  to  know  them  better  as  individuals.”

Among  the  professional  golfers  featured  in  “Beyond  the  Ropes”  are  USGA  champions  Cristie  Kerr,  Morgan  Pressel,  Lexi  Thompson,  Yani  Tseng,  Christina  Kim  and  Laura  Diaz.

Throughout   the   series,   fans   have   gained   an   insight   into   players’   lives,   including   one   who   balances   her  successful   career  with  parenthood,  another  with  passion   for  wine  making  and  another  whose   fun   fashion  choices  have  made  her  an  icon  on  and  off  the  golf  course.  

Here  is  a  little  peak  into  some  of  the  woman  that  you  will  see  on  the  leaderboard  in  early  July  at  Blackwolf  Run  in  Kohler,  WI.

37June  2012 2012  U.S.  Women's  Open

For   professional  golfers,   a   good  match  can  make  for  a  nice  payout,  but  for  Cristie   Kerr,   every  birdie   she   makes  lightens   her   wallet  a   little   bit.   That’s  by  design,  however,  because  through  her  foundation,   Birdies  for   Breast   Cancer,  Kerr   has   vowed  to   contribute   $50  

toward   breast   cancer   research   for   every   birdie   she   makes  on   tour.     Kerr   became   a   passionate   breast   cancer   activist  after   watching   her   mother,   aunt   and   godmother   battle   the  disease.  She  has  raised  more  than  $2  million  for  breast  cancer  research  and  treatment,  and  in  2010,  she  opened  the  Cristie  Kerr  Women’s  Health  Center  in  Jersey  City,  N.J.

She  was  ranked  number  one  in  the  world  three  times  in  2010  

in   LPGA   events.   She   won   the   U.S.   Women’s   Open   in  2007  and  captured  at   the  2010  LPGA  Championship  by  an  unprecedented  12  strokes.  Kerr  has  participated  six  times  in  the  Solheim  Cup  and  in  2011  she  became  the  top  American  money  winner  in  LPGA  history.  

Cristie’s  Favorite  Things  

   

   

 

When  Natalie  Gulbis  was   growing   up   in  Sacramento,   Calif.,  golf   was   just   one  of   many   sports   at  which   she   excelled;  she   was   also   a  competitive   diver  

level   gymnast.      After   being   the   top  player   on   the   boys’  golf   team   at  Granite  High   School   and  

graduating  in  three  years,  Gulbis  accepted  a  golf  scholarship  to  the  University  of  Arizona,  where  she  played  for  one  season  before  

the  Evian  Masters  in  France,  and  in  2008  she  was  awarded  the  William  and  Mousie  Powell  Award,  which  recognizes  an  LPGA  

the  spirit,  ideals  and  values  of  the  LPGA.

Gulbis  also  appeared  on  the  second  season  of  Donald  Trump’s  Celebrity  Apprentice  in  2009,  where  she  raised  money  for  the  Boys  and  Girls  Clubs  of  America.

Natalie’s  Favorite  Things  

   

   

Alexis   “Lexi”  Thompson   is   like  

old   girls.   She   loves  Facebook   and  texting   her   friends.  She   has   household  chores   assigned   by  her   parents   and   she  goes   on   sleepovers.  But,  when   it   comes  to   golf,   she’s   never  been  typical.

Thompson’s  golf  résumé  is  littered  with  two  words:  “youngest  ever.”   She   was   only   12   when,   in   2007,   she   became   the  youngest  player  ever  to  qualify  for  the  U.S.  Women’s  Open.  Although  she  failed   to  make   the  cut   that  year,  she  went  on  

youngest  winner  in  American  Junior  Golf  Association  history.  She  followed  up  with  a  win  at  the  Junior  PGA  Championship,  becoming  the  youngest  winner  in  Junior  PGA  Championship  history.  Thompson  also  captured  the  2008  U.S.  Girls’  Junior  

In  2010,   at   the  age  of  15,  Thompson  became   the  youngest  professional  player  in  the  history  of  women’s  golf.    Her  victory  at  the  Navistar  LPGA  Classic  made  her  the  youngest  winner  in  LPGA  history.  She  then  became  the  youngest  professional  to  win  on  the  Ladies  European  Tour  when  she  triumphed  at

Out   on   the   course,  2010   U.S.  Women’s  Open   champion  Paula   Creamer  is   hard   to   miss.  Nicknamed   the  “Pink   Panther”   at  age  16  by  friend  and  fellow   golfer   Casey  Wittenberg,   the   5’  9”   Paula   not   only  proudly   wears   the  color,   she   also  plays  

with  pink  club  grips,  a  pink  golf  bag  and  pink  golf  balls.  Her

in   the  state  of  California.  She  went  on  to  win  11  American

year  honors.  That  same  year,  she  became  the  youngest  and  quickest  player  to  reach  $1  million  in  LPGA  career  earnings  thanks  to  her  victory  at  the  2005  Evian  Masters.

heads   to   the   2012  U.S.  Women’s  Open  at  Blackwolf  Run  in  Kohler,   Wis.,   this  summer,   it   will   be  to   try   to  reprise  her  victory  at  last  year’s  c h am p i o n s h i p .    That   win   was   one  that   gripped   the  

Ryu   coming   from  

The   victory  was   the   culmination   of   years   of   competing   in  her  home  country  of  South  Korea.  Ryu  picked  up  the  sport  

when  she  thought  she  wanted  to  be  a  professional  violinist.  Then,  in  1998,  Se  Ri  Pak  won  the  U.S.  Women’s  Open,  also  conducted  at  Blackwolf  Run,  and  ignited  the  golf  movement  among  Korean  girls,  who  had   been   captivated   by   her  win.  One  of  those  girls  was  Ryu.

In  2006  at  the  Asian  Games,  she  won  both  the  individual  gold  and  then  the  team  gold  after  South  Korea  defeated  Japan  by  

her  belt,  she  decided  to  turn  pro  at  the  age  of  17.  She  has  since  earned  seven  victories  on  the  Korean  LPGA  Tour,  including  

Open,  and  is  one  of  its  top  money  earners.

43June  2012 Wisconsin  Dells

there’s  the  approach  shot  to  #9.  Talk  about  beautiful!  The  Lake  nine  states  its  own  case  with  

redesigned   $5  million   dollar   clubhouse.   Finally,   the  Canyon  nine   raises   its   hand,   and  we  call  to  the  forefront  holes  like  the  (personal  favorite)  1st,  with  its  crossing  creeks  and  stone  

With  so  many  strong  holes  on  each  nine,  it’s  no  wonder  that  it’s  essentially  fruitless  to  ask  any  of  the  staff  members  which  nine  to  play.  “All  of  them.”  Is  really  the  only  correct  answer.  The  Wisconsin  Dells  has  many  good  golf  opportunities,  and  a  few  great  ones.  Trappers  Turn  is  well  worthy  of  all  the  acclaim  it  receives  from  around  the  state  and  country  (4.5  Stars  by  Golf  Digest).  They  know  what  the  golfer  is  looking  for,  and  the  interactive  General  Manager  

provide  the  greatest  dining,  entertainment,  and  golf.  In  this  town,  once  known  merely  for  its  waterparks,  we  make  the  strongest  possible  case  for  golf.”

There  are  some  great  stay  and  play  package  opportunities  at  the  Kalahari  Resort,  with  its  indoor  and  outdoor  waterparks,  theme  parks  and  activity  hubs.  Since  Todd  Nelson  took  over  seven  years  ago,  he  and  his  company  have  provided  affordable  luxury  for  the  golf  traveler  in  the  state  of  Wisconsin.  There’s  certainly  a  lot  to  do  in  the  Wisconsin  Dells,  from  riding  motorized  birds  (ducks)  to  eating  fudge  and  sundaes.  But  if  golf  at  Trappers  Turn  isn’t  on  your  “to  do”  list,  you’re  missing  the  cherry  to  top  the  proverbial  sundae.  And  we  can’t  have  that.

twin  at  TPC  Sawgrass  in  Ponte  Vedra  Beach,  Florida.  In  fact,  the  Castle’s  10th  was  recently  

Sentinel,  behind  only  #17  at  Whistling  Straits.  So  don’t  take  our  word  for  it.  Everyone  seems  to  feel  that  way.  That’s  why  you  need  to  play  it  for  yourself.  This  isn’t  hype.  It’s  truth.

Course   at  Oakland  Hills   Country  Club,   in  Michigan,  where   the  OB   threat   on   both   sides  will   force  you   to  have  a  very  focused   tunnel  vision   to   the  hole.  #6  gives  you  a  chance   to  

intimidating  downhill  approach  over  water  to  a  rather  narrow  green.  #11  is  another  exquisite  

over  a  creek   to  a   tricky  green.  #12  will   take  you   to  your  knees  at   the  base  of   the  historic  

the  18th  will  bring  a   fun  and  memorable  round,   regardless  of  your  score,   to  a  bittersweet  

make  your  approach  to  a  water  lined  green,  straight  from  #18  at  Arnold  Palmer’s  masterpiece  

After  our  own  experience,  GM  Paitrick  surprised  none  of  us  by  saying,  “two  of  my  favorite  

tee  shot  view!)  and  16th  (especially  in  the  fall  when  the  changing  colors  are  indescribable).  And  we  thought  it  was  picturesque  in  the  spring.  “That’s  one  of  the  greatest  compliments  we  continually  hear  here,”  Paitrick  continued.  “People  often  say  this  place  gets  better  with  every  visit.  That’s  refreshing.  The  course  is  in  great  condition  in  the  spring,  and  gets  better  through  

He   didn’t   have   to   convince   us.  We’ll   be   back.  The  Castle   Course  may   very  well   be   the  most  entertaining  round  of  golf  in  the  state  of  Wisconsin.  Whistling  Straits  may  be  the  most  

of  tees  from  5,200  to  7,200  yards.  It  is  a  high  end,  great  value,  golf  and  lodging  experience  suited  perfectly  for  everyone.

While  some  are  fortunate  enough  to  travel  the  country  and  experience  the  courses  to  which  the  Castle  Course  is  attributed,  the  rest  of  us  can  embrace  a  short  car  trip,  and  no  baggage  fees,  instead.  Not  only  can  we  each  take  our  own  shot  at  mimicking  history,  but  we  can  love  the  heck  out  of   the  other  11  holes   as  well.  Compliments   are   to  be   extended   freely   to   the  wonderful  staff  at  Northern  Bay  Resort.  Their  oasis  is  built  to  be  yours.  Hopefully  they’ll  see  you  there  soon!  No  doubt,  you’ll  keep  going  back  for  more!

June  201248 Characters  on  the  Course

In  the  days  before  the  iPod,  if  you  listened  to  music  outside  you  had  a  “ghetto  blaster”  sometimes  referred  to  as  a  “boom  box”.    Swaney,  whose  family  lived  on  Hastings  CC,  grew  up  on  the  golf  course.    From  an  early  age  he  eagerly  waited  to  play  a  few  holes  with  his  dad  after  supper.    He  spent  hours  on  the  putting  green  chipping  and  putting  and  learned  to  compete  beating  the  bigger  kids  out  of  nickels  and  dimes.

player.    Once  you  got  to  know  Swaney,  you  loved  him;  he  always  had  big  smile  and  a  quick  wit  to  go  along  with  all  his  little  nervous  tics  and  twitches.    Swaney  loved  to  needle  his  opponent,  and  often  screamed  his  favorite  expression,  “God  I  love  that  power  fade!”  

tournaments,  he  many  times  made  unforced  errors.    He  tried  alcohol  and  an  occasional  joint  to  keep  himself  calm.    He  was  always  looking  for  the  answer.

When   I   got   the   pairing   sheet   for   the   annual   Hildebrandt   Invitational   Tournament,   at  Hastings  Country  Club,  I  was  happy  to  see  that  I  was  playing  with  my  old  friend  Greg  

of  earphones  on  his  head.    When  I  walked  over  to  shake  hands  and  say  hello,  he  jerked  the  

I  even  have  two  young  caddies,  one  for  my  clubs  and  one  for  my  boom  box.”

When   the   starter   announced,   “Now   on   the   tee   from   Hastings   Country   Club,   Greg  Swanson,   play   away   please.”     Swaney,   dressed   in   new  white   FootJoys,   black   shorts

that  guards  the  right  side  of  the  fairway.    We  all  held  our  breath  as  the  ball  came  to  rest  on  a  point  of  land  that  jutted  into  the  lake.    Swaney  leaped  off  the  elevated  tee  and  took  off,  then  remembered  his  relaxing  boom  box.    With  earphones  on  and  a  caddie  on  each  side  Swaney  strolled  to  his  ball.    

The  lie  was  okay,  but  Swaney  was  forced  to  play  his  bread  and  butter  shot,  the  power  fade,  around  a  big  tree  on  the  far  side  of  the  pond.    Swaney  and  his  club  caddie  were  standing  on  the  sliver  of  land  that  extended  into  the  pond.    The  relaxed  Swaney  said  to  his  young  caddie,  “Son,  I  am  going  to  cut  this  one  right  around  that  big  tree.    So  watch  it  close,  

placed  the  bag  on  his  shoulder,  ready  to  go.    

The  “relaxed”  Swaney  was  getting  nervous  and  twitchy.    He  took  two  big  practice  swings,  the  divots  landed  far  into  the  lake.    With  all  eyes  on  the  ball,  Swaney  made  perfect  contact,  his  ball  made  the  right  turn  around  the  tree  toward  the  green.    Then  we  heard  a  scream,  

into  the  lake;  he  went  deeper  as  the  slippery  mud  bottom  sucked  him  in.

We  spent  the  next  ten  minutes  and  used  all  of  our  towels  cleaning  up  Swaney’s  clubs,  bag  and  caddie.    And  bowed  our  heads  to   honor   the   end   of   Swaney’s  boom  box!  Swaney  is  now  playing  the  big  golf  course  in  the  sky  and  God  is   watching   his   power   fade.    Every   member   of   Hastings  CC  has  a  Greg  Swanson  story,  he  left  his  mark!

June  201250 19th  Hole

Tell  us  what  you  do  during   the  golf  off-­season.    I’m  a  full  time  grad  student,  taking  classes   at   the   U   of   M   in   the   program   of  Physical  Therapy.

Why  did   you   decide   to   pursue   a   career  in   “beverage   distribution”   at   your   golf  course?     I  really  enjoy  the  game  of  golf;  I  absolutely  love  the  outdoors  and  socializing  

with  other  people;  there  is  no  better  job  in  the  summer  than  bev  cart!

What’s  the  best  tip  you  have  ever  received  from  a  golfer...monetarily  or  other?    I  sold  a  diet  coke  for  $2.50,  a  lady  gave  me  a  $20  bill  and  said  keep  the  change.    I  asked,  “Are  you  sure?”  and  she  insisted.

What’s  the  funniest  thing  you  have  ever  seen  on  the  golf  course?    I  saw  a  guy  tee  off,  almost  whiff  and  the  ball  ended  up  somehow  hitting  his  ankle.    Looked  like  it  hurt,  but  pretty  funny.

What  hobbies  do  you  have  away  from  the  golf  course?    Anything  outside  on  

just  hanging  out  with  my  friends.

What  is  your  favorite  drink?    Blended  strawberry  daiquiri.    It’s  a  good  thing  we  don’t  have  blenders  on  the  cart  or  no  one  else  would  get  served.

Do  you  play  golf?    How  well?    Yes!  I  grew  up  with  it;  golf  is  a  part  of  my  family.    I  played  all  throughout  high  school  and  one  year  of  college.    I’m  okay,  but  not  as  good  as  I  want  to  be.    Story  of  a  golfers  life.

When  your  “career”  as  a  beverage  cart  girl  is  over  what  are  your  goals  in  life?    Well,  I  hope  to  graduate  in  2  years  with  a  Doctorate  of  Physical  Therapy;  ideally  I  would  love  to  work  in  a  sports  therapy  clinic,  rehabilitating  athletes.
