As I perused my regular golfing sites, a thought popped into my head regarding my aim point on approach shots. I am not entirely sure if it is an issue, but it would be great to hear what you have to say. The premise of my idea is that I do not select the proper aim point when making an approach shot to the green. Let me explain. Continue reading

Senior Men’s Ryder Cup 2017
In North Bay, Osprey Links Golf Club and the North Bay Country Club play and annual home and away called the Ryder Cup. Each team consists of 32 players over the age of 55.

The great majority of players were beginners or those who only play a couple of times a year, so the focus of the event was having fun.

However, the win was less important than a couple of the things I learned. Continue reading
