From the Prez
– The next Roost Meeting is at our regular meeting spot at OC 360 in the
Fenwick Inn on April 12th at 7:30pm. At
the meeting we will have Sign Up sheets for the Beer Truck at Springfest, the
Convention, the Parade, and the Shorebirds Game on July 19th. Please contact me if you have any interest or
questions if you can't attend the meeting and we will we have the right person
get back to you.
Remember that your Roost Membership card entitles you to a 20% discount
on food, beverage & apparel purchases at the Original Greene Turtle (116th
St.). We encourage all Roost members and
committees to patronize the Original Greene Turtle!
Remember that we collect plastic grocery bags at every Roost
meeting. These bags are used by Diakonia
(Local Food Bank & Homeless Shelter) to distribute food contributions to
the needy. My white Ford pickup truck is
parked in front of OC 360 at every Roost meeting. Simply put your plastic bags (tied up
tightly) in the bed of the truck. This
is a great way to recycle plastic bags for a good cause.

ONLY A TRUE
GOLFER WILL UNDERSTAND
o Don't buy a putter until you've had a chance to throw it.
o Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your
mind during your swing.
o When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can
either hit one more club or two more balls.
o If you're afraid a full shot might reach the green while the
foursome ahead of you is still putting out, you have two options: a) You can
immediately shank a lay-up, or, b) You can wait until the green is clear and
top a ball halfway there.
o The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share
his ideas about the golf swing.
o No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to
play worse.
o The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant
elimination of the one critical unconscious motion that allowed you to
compensate for all of your many other errors.
o Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot.
o A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponents'
luck.
o It is surprisingly easy to hole a fifty foot putt than a 10
foot one...
o Nonchalant putts count the same as chalant putts.
o It's not a ‘gimme' if you're still 5 yards away.
o You can hit a two acre fairway 10% of the time and a two inch
branch 90% of the time.
o If you really want to get better at golf, go back and take it
up at a much earlier age.
o Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is
actually the beginning of the next group of three.
o When you look up, causing an awful shot, you will always look
down again at exactly the moment when you ought to start watching the ball if
you ever want to see it again.
o Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make
two triple bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe.
o If you want to hit a 7 iron as far as Tiger Woods does,
simply try to lay up just short of a water hazard.
o To calculate the speed of a player's downswing, multiply the
speed of his back-swing by his handicap; ie. back-swing 20 mph, handicap 15,
downswing = 300 mph.
o There are two things you can learn by stopping your
back-swing at the top and checking the position of your hands: how many hands
you have, and which one is wearing the glove.
o Hazards attract; fairways repel.
o A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not
yours.
o If there is a ball on the fringe and a ball in the bunker,
your ball is in the bunker. If both
balls are in the bunker, yours is in the footprint or embedded in the far
sidewall.
o It's easier to get up at 6:00 a.m. to play golf than at 10:00
a.m. to mow the lawn.
o A good drive and 2nd shot on to the 18th green has stopped
many a golfer from giving up the game.
o Golf is the perfect thing to do on Sunday because you always
end up having to pray a lot.
o A good golf partner is one who's always slightly worse than
you are... that's why I get so many calls to play with friends.
o If there's a storm rolling in, you'll be having the game of
your life.
o Golf balls are like eggs.
They're white. They're sold by
the dozen. And you need to buy fresh
ones each week.
o It's amazing how a golfer who never helps out around the
house will replace his divots, repair his ball marks, and rake his sand traps.
o If your opponent has trouble remembering whether he shot a
six or a seven, he probably shot an eight (or worse).
o It takes longer to learn to be a good golfer than it does to
become a brain surgeon.
o On the other hand, you don't get to ride around on a cart,
drink beer, eat hot dogs if you are performing Brain Surgery!!!!
HAPPY
GOLFING...
