Therefore every birthday, Christmas, Anniversary I am left without a clue (a common problem for the modern woman nowdays!!).  The only thing I can say is thank God for the internet, it makes my life so much easier and thank God my husband is a golf nut too.  Golf companies are constantly inventing something new they can push onto their massive customer base.

So with a keen mind I log onto the internet one night with nothing but golfing on my mind, I search golfing holidays, golfing breaks, golf clubs, golf reviews, golf clothing well you get the picture  I do not think there is anything that is not covered under my searches.  However the good news I finally decided on a callaway wood to complement his existing callaway set, which on his actual birthday goes down a treat, he was surprised that I knew which club to get and actually picked the right one!!  Well it all comes down to the glorious internet and his love of golf, therefore I shall never be stuck again!

Dennis Boice loved life. when he passed away suddenly in July at age 41, he left behind a wife, Karen, and three children, Fletcher, 3, Jackson, 1, and Victoria, 20.

If the last name seems familiar, it’s because Dennis is the son of Carolyn Boice, who recently retired as the school board secretary for Pine-Richland after working for more than three decades for the district.

Although it hasn’t been long since they lost Boice, his friends wanted to start an annual event to honor his memory and to benefit the family he left behind.

The Dennis Boice Memorial Golf Outing is scheduled for noon on Saturday, Oct. 8, at the Pittsburgh North Golf Club. Organizers request that interested golfers sign up by Oct. 1.

One of those organizers is Shane Clark, a longtime friend of Boice, whose emotions are evident when he talks about his late friend.

“It’s very rare to find a person like that with such a magnetic personality,” says Clark. “He touched a lot of lives, and we were lucky to have him for as long as we had him.”

Boice was a native Pittsburgher and a 1988 graduate of Richland High School. an avid golfer from a very young age, he would stay at a friend’s house near Pittsburgh North Golf Club when he was a teen so he could rise early in the morning to take advantage of the early-bird junior price of $1, Clark says.

Although Clark was not a golfer when they met, Boice was eager to share his passion with Clark.

“He taught me to golf and was so patient,” says Clark. “I think I shot something like 120 that first round and he never said a thing. he was never afraid to try anything new or teach anyone something new.”

Boice founded a golf league called the old Whaler League so he and his friends could get together. They were also in a fantasy football league that gave them the opportunity to meet weekly to talk about football, golf and life.

Boice didn’t hang out with just his peers but with people of all ages.

“Dennis would be friends with you if you were 18 or if you were 75,” says Clark. “He was the glue that kept our group together for so long.”

It was this passion for the game of golf that led Clark and his friends to decide the best way to honor Boice and to help the family would be through a benefit golf outing.

They plan to make it an annual event, although Clark says it will probably be earlier in the golf season in the future.

In addition to participants, they are still accepting donations and sponsorships. those who are interested may contact Shane Clark at or visit the event website.

Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah Sunday underlined adventure tourism as an effective avenue of generating economic activities and providing wide-ranging job opportunities for youth.

“Educated youth have all the more openings in this field,” he said underscoring the need for trained and skilled human resources to give impetus to the sports and adventure tourism in the State possessing rich potential in this area.

The Chief Minister was addressing a function here after inaugurating Rs. 8.5 crore, newly relayed Gulmarg Golf Course, one of the oldest and highest green golf courses in the sub-continent at an altitude of 8700 feet above sea level.

Omar said that by the inauguration of 18-hole full-fledged golf course at the world famous tourist resort Gulmarg, the golf circuit in the State has been established. “The golf lovers visiting the State can play golf at Srinagar, Pahalgam, Gulmarg and Jammu,” he said adding that a golf course in Ladakh at the banks of river Sind is also in offing.

The Chief Minister said that organizing golf events and showcasing this beautiful circuit world over would generate a regular flow of sportsmen in this discipline to the State and help promote tourism. “Golf lovers can experience playing of golf in different conditions and in different climate during the stay in the State,” he added.

PRINCEVILLE, Kauai, Hawaii — Kauai’s acclaimed Princeville Prince Golf Course, one of the top-ranked courses in Hawaii and Top 100 in the United States, has announced a reopening date of Dec. 14 to unveil the newly renovated course. on Sept. 19, the course will start accepting tee time reservations for play beginning Dec. 14.

The Prince has been closed since Jan. 29 for an extensive renovation project, including: complete reconstruction of putting greens with SeaDwarf Seashore Paspalum turf and sub-surface material to meet modern USGA specifications; remodeling of bunkers to improve drainage, playability, visibility, and strategic value; clearing of fairways, streams, and visual impediments surrounding holes that have encroached upon the design intent of the course over the years; widening of fairways and reshaping of greens; tee leveling and addition of new tees for added shot value and variety; and improvements to ensure the course will be consistently maintained in superb condition. In addition, the Prince’s spectacular 60,000-square-foot clubhouse will complete its second phase of refurbishment to coincide with the golf course reopening. the Tavern Restaurant by Roy Yamaguchi and the Prince Golf Shop, both located on the lower level of the Prince Clubhouse, will continue to remain open during the renovation.

Heritage Links has been carrying out the construction and renovation work and will manage all golf and club operations when the course reopens. the award-winning firm of Robert Trent Jones II, Golf course Architects (RTJ II) is serving as lead architect on the project under the direction of Chairman and Master Architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr., who designed the Prince course, which was completed in 1990.

“Perhaps our most dramatic refinement efforts have been focused on the complete reconstruction of every green complex, recapturing hole locations that have been lost over time,” notes Jones. “We have gently reconfigured the contours in the green surfaces to accommodate the green speeds that will be achieved by the newly planted paspalum variety of turf grass. In addition, fairway mowing patterns have been widened dramatically to promote a more enjoyable experience for players of all skill levels.”

Whether you having been playing golf for years or you are relatively new to the game, more than likely if there is one area that you need some work on, it is your putting. you may be amazing at driving the golf ball a long ways, and you may even hit the green fairly well from a long distance, but if you cannot putt, winning will be very difficult. much of the skill of golf is actually shown when you are putting on the green, and you can golf like a champ if you know how to putt like a pro. The following are some tips that can help you show off the next time you are putting on the green.

Tip #1 – Visualize – one of the most important things you can do to improve your putting is to visualize the putt. try to visualize in your mind how the green moves and how you want the ball to move over the green into the hole. once you get the picture in your mind, it is much easier to make the ball go into the cup for the big finish of your game.

Tip #2 – Practice – probably the most important tip to putting like a pro is to practice. you can read tips on improving your putt all day long, but if you do not take the time to practice those tips they will never be able to help you. Take some time to practice putting until you feel comfortable and confident with your putting techniques.

Tip #3 – Avoid Using the Hands – Many people make the mistake of using their hands and wrists when they are putting, and while this is great for a very short putt, it will not help you out on the long putts that you are trying to master. instead of using your wrists and hands, be sure that you actually use your arms and shoulders when you are trying to putt. if you are constantly coming up short on your putts, check how you are putting. More than likely you are using your hands and wrists instead of your arms and shoulders for the putt.

Tip #4 – Aim just Past the Hole – Especially when you are putting uphill, you will want to be sure that you aim just past the hole. this helps you make sure that the ball goes into the cup instead of falling a few inches short.

SAN MARTIN, Calif. — Sonny Skinner was conceded a birdie putt at the last hole to gain a half-point for the U.S. in the morning session of Day 2 at the 25th PGA Cup at CordeValle.

Skinner, the head professional at River Pointe Golf Club in Albany, Ga., and partner Brad Lardon of College Station, Texas, allowed the U.S. to score 1.5 points in the four four-ball matches and lead by three points, 7.5-4.5, heading into Saturday afternoon foursomes in the biennial matches featuring club and teaching professionals in the Ryder Cup-style competition.

“We hung in there until the very end,” said Skinner, who hit a 60-degree wedge from 87 yards to 4 feet, then watched as David Mortimer and Craig Goodfellow of GB&I both made bogeys. “We figured we were due for something good to happen.”

The morning’s best shots came in the 5-and-4 win by Robert Giles and Stuart little over Americans Danny Balin, an assistant professional at Burning Tree Country Club in Greenwich, Conn., and Scott Erdmann of Tigard, Ore., in which consecutive holes were won with eagles.

With GB&I leading after six holes, 3 up, Balin hit a 7-iron into the cup at the 183-yard seventh for his second career hole-in-one and the first in the PGA Cup since Russell Weir, this year’s GB&I captain, in 1986 at the Knollwood Club in Lake Forest, Ill.

At the next hole, a drivable par 4 playing 268 yards on Saturday, Giles drove the green and made his 30-foot eagle putt.

The U.S. received a 3-and-2 win from the pairing of Mike Small, the head coach of the men’s golf team at the University of Illinois, and Faber Jamerson, the general manager at Falling River Country Club in Appomattox, Va. they did not lose a hole and rode winning birdies by Jamerson at the fourth, 10th and 15th holes.

In the opening four-ball match, the U.S. team of David Hutsell and Mark Sheftic lost, 2 and 1. on the front nine, Hustell and Sheftic birdied four holes, the third, fourth, sixth and seventh, but failed to win any of them as GB&I responded with matching birdies.

Following four foursomes matches on Saturday afternoon, the match will conclude Sunday with 10 singles matches. the U.S. has never lost (10-0-2) on U.S. soil and leads in the series, 16-5-3.

Get the ball in the fairway off the tee and you’re on offense. you can carry out your game plan for the hole. miss the fairway and you’re in recovery. No fun. Let’s see how to straighten out that driver so you can have the fun you deserve.

You have to solve two problems to hit your driver straight. At impact, the club needs to be traveling toward your target and the clubface needs to be square to that line. though getting the club path in line is not inconsequential, by far the more difficult problem is the square clubface, so we’ll deal with that problem here.

Start with a ball on a tee. Hit the ball with your driver, using a three-foot backswing. There’s no need to hit the ball hard. just give it a gentle tap as the club passes in front of you. it probably won’t go 60 yards. That’s fine.

Here’s the catch. At impact, you want to be in the perfect impact position. it looks like this. the club is straight up and down or leaning slightly toward the target. the hips are open. the right heel has come off the ground. the right knee is bent in toward the ball. the right arm is still bent, the left arm is straight. the right shoulder is lower than the left.

Left-handed version of the above: the club is straight up and down or leaning slightly toward the target. the hips are open. the left heel has come off the ground. the left knee is bent in toward the ball. the left arm is still bent, the right arm is straight. the left shoulder is lower than the right.

A picture of a touring pro at impact is easy to find. Get one to see what the position I described to you looks like.

Now keep hitting balls with those three-foot swings, making sure you pass through the perfect impact position each time, and that the ball is going straight. the key is to avoid manipulating the clubface with your hands, but to let your body turn square it up.

When you can hit the ball straight, consistently, move up to six-foot backswings. Hit about ten balls in a row straight, then move up to what would be a swing size you’d use to hit an 80-yard pitch with your wedge. keep increasing the size of your swing incrementally, hitting enough balls each time so you know you’re hitting them straight.

Do not short-cut this learning process the more straight shots you hit at each step, the more you ingrain the right habits. If at any step you lose control of the shot, back down to a smaller swing and practice there for a time.

Eventually you will be making a full swing. one last warning. At that time, resist the urge to hit the ball a long way. That could cause the swing you have worked so hard to build up to break down. If you hit the ball straight, it will go a long way. Guaranteed.

DUDLEY —  ever hear of Dudley Hill Golf Club? If you’re not from Dudley, the answer is probably no. Heard of Nichols College Golf Club? The answer to that question is more likely to be yes. over the last 15 years, Nichols College Golf Club has been sold and renamed Webster Dudley Golf Club, then renamed Dudley Hill Golf Club, but general manager Jim Siekierski said most golfers still know it as Nichols College Golf Club. Dudley Hill is a semiprivate, nine-hole club run by a board of directors, and it welcomes public play, but it doesn’t get a lot of golfers from outside the Dudley area. “We’re kind of the golf course that nobody knows,” said Paul Veshi, the club’s superintendent since 1998. “Dudley seems to be out of everybody’s thought process.” Veshi believes if golfers visit Dudley Hill, they’ll enjoy it and want to come back. We agree. The course was still soggy in spots from the 10 inches of rain that fell from the past two storms, but it was well groomed and fun to play. Veshi said the course doesn’t drain well, so his crew couldn’t mow for eight or nine days before finally resuming mowing for the three days before we arrived last week. “We lost a lot of work days, so our grooming is way, way down,” he said. “We’re basically starting over again.” but the course was still in better shape than many other courses we’ve played this year. The fairways are generous — we walked off the seventh fairway and determined it to be 43 yards wide — so you can hit driver, but the small greens prevent too many low scores. “Hit the middle of the greens,” Siekierski said, “and you’ll have nothing more than a 20-foot putt. too many people try to go for the pin placements and get in trouble by short siding themselves.” You need to be a good chipper because you’re not going to hit a lot of these small greens. If you’re going to miss a green, the best play on most holes is to be short. If you miss the first green to the right, you’ll have to chip down off a hill. If you miss it left or long, you’ll chip up a hill. Veshi has expanded six of the nine greens, but there’s not a lot of room to expand because many greens sit on hills. The greens rolled well, but the third green had bare spots around the edges. Veshi said he’s had trouble maintaining that green, and he may have to install a fan or trim the trees around the green to increase the air flow. The second and fourth holes require blind tee shots, so golfers push safety buttons to flash red or green lights for the following groups. On the second tee, aim for the flag at the top of the hill. The fourth hole used to have a gong, but the club got rid of it. “It woke up too many people,” Siekierski said. My playing partner’s GPS didn’t recognize Dudley Hill, but it did recognize Nichols College Golf Club. We really didn’t need the GPS, though. We played with Rich Lengieza, a 2-handicapper who has been a member here since 1979, and he told us the correct distances and where to aim. He also pointed out the 175-yard markers printed on the fence post on the right side of the second fairway and a tree on the left side of the eighth fairway. The white tees are 3,007 yards, and the blues are 3,223. The two share the same tees except for the par-3 sixth, where the white tee, which opened three years ago, is located to the left and 20 yards ahead of the blue. You don’t lose a lot of golf balls at Dudley Hill because there’s no brush between the trees that separate the fairways. It’s a slicer’s paradise because the only trouble is to the left along the edges of the property. Devereux Emmet designed Dudley Hill in 1926, two years after he designed Congressional CC, the club in Bethesda, Md., which hosted its third U.S. Open last June. Dudley Hill is an easy walk. Lengieza said he’s walked nine holes by himself in an hour and 10 minutes. but if you want to ride, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays, it costs $24 for nine holes with a cart and lunch and $39 for 18 holes with a cart and lunch. On weekend mornings, it’s $24 for nine holes with a required cart and $42 to ride 18. Nichols students can play nine holes for $10 and the school’s team plays here. The public can call on Thursdays for a weekend tee time. Tee times aren’t required during the week, but the Nichols and Shepherd Hill teams practice or play around 3:30 p.m. most weekdays.
