Golf Top of the Week:
(Reference: Sunday, 7/16)
If one of your playing partners is searching for a lost ball for several minutes and cannot find it (ie. - Rob O. on #15), please show some golf courtesy and try to help them find it. Next time it could be you. (Kirk, Frank or Hector)

Reminder to self: Always check spelling before posting a note. A golf "tip" is always more helpful than a "top".
I could edit that for you but then your comment wouldnt make sense...but then again I could remove the comment too.....Nah...too much like work....but in the time i posted this I could have finished it...Oh well...Im going to go drink a beer instead!
I had the Top of the week a few weeks ago at Al Perez Wednesday night Scramble at Saticoy Regional Golf Course (Wednesday 5pm.....$20....Three Man Scramble...Flighted Teams (A player, B Player, C Player)in case you are interested)
I topped a PW on the 108 yard Par 3 6th hole...it skidded up to 4 feet for a closie and $10....I told everyone I stuck it!
Hey Toler, the title for this blog is MOUNTAIN VIEW MENS GOLF CLUB.... otherwise, did I ever tell you the story about my Double-Eagle at Wood Ranch C.C.? Oh well, you get the picture.
Boy, aren't those MVMGC member's a little testy?!
Either they are a little testy or they have little testes....I just wanted to talk about the TOP of the week thats all....you started the thread...by the way i am having a tournament at the beginning of August.....thats right...The Toler View Mens Golf Club...we pay better skins and closies.....Just Kidding....no such club exists.....but should it?
Here may be a useful Tip-of-the Week --
To get out of a poor golfing rut, break the hole into yardages, working backwards from the green, with the desired approach distance and club you want to try for the specific hole's green as the end result of your tee shot.
Most people will find they are focusing more on hitting a set distance, by determining where that lies in the fairway. As a result you a straighter shot than just "grippin' & rippin' it".
For example, Hole #2, a Par 5, 500+ yds. You hit a 200yd. shot twice, and your in the Wedge distance, from the fairway, into a real tiny green. You stick the full wedge in there tight, and it may be a birdie for ya.
How many times have you played this tight hole and put yourself in trouble?
Henne, that's great strategy if I was playing from the Womens tees, but from the Mens tees, where most of us play from, Hole #2 is 575 yards. Let's see, 200 + 200= 400. If I could hit a wedge 175 yds...
Wait a minute, is Henne doing some sublte bragging here?
maybe .....
A change in diet (cigars) has led to some real freaky hits lately. I have twice nuked a 7 iron over 200yds (some windage, yes) ... but I digress ... I apologize for the yardage error for my example. So, to restate the theory, hit it 220, 220, and you are left with a wedge shot of 135. More realistic, I agree ....
