Putting line

How many times do your curving putts end up on the low side of the hole, even when you have the speed correct. Like most amateurs, it will be about 85% of the time. It's because we generally don't play enough break.

Watch this 5 minute video below to help you understand why putting at the apex (or highest point of the curve) is not high enough. The visuals he sets up are really helpful.

Don't forget to sign up on Lynn's Google doc for Christmas dinner on Dec 2.

Friends and family are welcome - invite some Monday league golfers.

CHRISTMAS DINNER

Last year we chose to have a Christmas dinner instead of the luncheon and it was the best attended ever. So, having spoken to a few members and to Jen, we are going to have a dinner again. As long as we have at least 30 people, we can have the lunch buffet menu for the same cost, $22.95 ++. (It includes ham, turkey and fixings, salads, soup, pasta, veggies, potatoes and dessert. Great meal, great deal.)

Unless, I hear from several that this won't work for you, I have booked 6 pm on Friday, Dec 2 for our annual Christmas dinner. Invite friends and family to join us. (Include some Monday league golfers, perhaps)

Lynn will set up the google doc sign up sheet, so watch for an email from her next week.

Sincere condolences to Ariane Macdonald on the passing of her father recently.

Dalewood's own Anna Crowley recently won the Kawartha Girls' High School Championship in her first year of competition. Unfortunately, Anna was ill on the day COSSA Golf was played. Next year, OFSAA!
