IT'S NOT EVERYDAY WE GET TO CELEBRATE A 90th BIRTHDAY, BUT WE DID JUST THAT ON WEDNESDAY! A SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY(A FEW DAYS EARLY) FOR OUR BIRTHDAY GIRL - YVONNE SHANNON!!

A message to Dalewood's Women's Section

To all the wonderful members of the Women's Section who participated in the Surprise Birthday party to celebrate my upcoming 90th birthday, I just want to thank all of you.  In fact, it is the only surprise birthday party I have ever had so it means a lot to me.

A special thanks to Lynn, who hosted the wonderful event at her beautiful house and garden, but also to Patty and Barb, who helped getting me there without my knowledge of what was happening so that everyone was there to welcome me when I arrived.  And I want to thank everyone for the lovely gift from all of you that is having a lovely floral arrangement delivered to me bi-weekly for 3 months.  Such a wonderful idea, one that will remind me about my special day and all my wonderful friends.   

But let's not forget all the fantastic food that everyone brought.  Also a special thanks to Dianne for her beautiful Birthday Cake and also to Gail for her beautiful watermelon cake. They were both fantastic and enjoyed by me and everyone else. 

Everything was just perfect for me, and I think everyone had as good a time as I did.  

There is nothing else I can say, except thank you. Actually the only thing I can say is that I am sorry that a few had other arrangements and couldn't come, but they sure missed a wonderful afternoon.

Yvonne

P.S. I just remembered something, but I know you will forgive me because of who I am and my age! I received 3 bottles of lovely wine from 3 lovely women. They know who they are and I just wanted to send a special thanks to them.

RYAN AND ANNA CROWLEY

From Dale:

The Little Treasure Shop is going on the road to set up a tent at the annual Downtown Cobourg Sidewalk Sale. Volunteers have sorted through the stock room and found great sidewalk sale deals to share along with the desire to let the community know that there is a wonderful gift shop in the hospital that carries a wide selection of inventory for the sole purpose of raising funds for patient care at NHH. 

We thank @TenThousandVillagesCobourg for sponsoring our tent right next to theirs at 16 King St. W.  

If you are downtown, drop in.  We will be at the Sidewalk Sale for Thursday, August 1 and Friday, August 2 from 10am to 6pm.  Picture is old but you can certainly recognize a couple of the volunteers.

Congratulations Sharon…in NFLD!!

Topic:: Weekend Update: 
             Food & Beverage 

The DWS Executive identified inconsistent availability of food for sale other than bbq. 
After meeting with Jen this week we have come up with a plan:
• Breakfast sandwiches will be in the pro shop on Saturday and as well as muffins and scones
• Pre-made sandwiches will be in the fridge at the bbq. 
• The bar cart will also have some sandwiches 

There are 72 players Saturday morning, men and women. We do not want to miss any opportunities to maximize sales. 

Your support is appreciated as is your feedback.

Social Convenor

From Jon Sherman - The Four Foundations of Golf

He outlines 13 bad habits which may be holding you back from becoming a better golfer. 

Here are the first three:

1) Complaining about external factors for your performance.

It wasn’t the:

• Course
• Conditions
• Playing partners
• Equipment

You have to take more responsibility for your game.

2) The endless swing-tip hamster wheel.

Showing up to the range every week with a new swing tip will not take your game to the next level.

3) Impatience 

Whether you are on the course or waiting for your handicap to drop after doing a lot of work, golf can move slowly.

Patience is a superpower in this game.

Two new events

DWS IS EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE TWO NEW EVENTS!

IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT EITHER OF THESE EVENTS, CONTACT TRACEY.

 After a long hot day, one cart just had a mind of its own!

The sign up sheet is posted for Club Championship, on July 27, 28.

There are age categories (overall, 50+, 60+, 70+) and flights.

You will play with similar handicaps on the first day.

There is a red/green category - more info on this is needed.

There will be a BBQ on Sunday immediately following play rather than a dinner. 

The cost is $35, which includes prizes and the BBQ.

Let's have lots of women out there!

 Happy Canada Day!

(Thanks, Sandi, for the display.)

Don't forget the sign up for the Bulger Alternate Shot, Tuesday, July 9.

League Sponsor Sue Morrow from Royal LePage ProAllianceRealty would like to announce our first draw winner of a $25 Dalewood Dollars gift certificate is Ariane Macdonald.

I will take this spot to tell you about a newsletter I get from Jon Sherman, who happens to be the mental, strategic golf coach for MacKenzie Hughes. His newsletter is called "Practical Golf."

Today's idea on strategy is: Double (triple) bogey avoidance is more important than getting birdies, if you are trying to lower your scores. 

As the chart shows, the difference between 1.1 and 6.1 doubles is far greater than the difference between 1.9 and .1 birdies. 

He writes "Use this as your North Star when you get into certain situations on the course. It could be when you are short-sided or in the rough. Or when you have a decision to make in a recovery situation in the trees. Most notably, it often shows up on your approach shots, not biting off more than you can chew trying to pin hunt aggressively."
