Congratulations to our 2017 Ladies Club Champion Chris Crow and the net winner Karen Shull. We had two days of perfect weather and fantastic playing conditions. Thank you to all of the participants for a fantastic event. Chris Crow – Club Champion (Gross) 88-83-171 Karen Shull – Net Champion 72-76-148 narromindedjr At the beginning of November, I took a trip to see my girlfriend’s family because it was her grandma’s birthday. Of course, I took the opportunity to play golf with her dad as we always do. We actually played our best round of golf together combining to shoot an even par 72 between us in a scramble. We played with two of his friends, and there was great camaraderie around the golf course. There is just a different feeling playing when there are supportive players around you. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make any putts, but I felt great swinging my new irons. I hit 13 greens myself and only made two birdies. Gut wrenching statistics, but that means I am hitting it solid and straight, which is normally my weakness. The biggest transition in my bag was from the R15 to the M1 driver. The shaft is so much lighter than the R15. It took me 24 By Shayne Narro 8 holes to start hitting it straight, but wow, once I did, the M1 was going another 5-10 yards further than the R15. I am in search of another putter though, I just really do not like the feel standing over the golf ball with the new Ghost putter that I’ve been using. Might be time to go back to the old faithful Ping putter that I’ve been using for years. I shot an 80 with my buddy Mason the day after Thanksgiving. It was a beautiful day and great round of golf. We got it in right before the sun went down after teeing off around three o’clock. I always find a couple days in December that have beautiful forecasts for the day. I am looking forward to the next few beautiful days to get out and keep testing the new set. Shayne
