Don t forget that our Summer Picnic, held on August 5th, will be catered. We are planning on having a pig roast with all the trimmings. Gelandesprung Gazette JULIE S JIVE Going Downhill since 1969! P.O. Box 10422, Green Bay, WI There were a couple of questions asked about our Facebook page. Some people were having a hard time receiving notifications of a post. The problem should now be resolved, although your personal Facebook account should also be set up to receive notifications by going to your Settings/Notifications.

Golf season is now upon us. Golf is sometimes perceived as a secret society. While the sport is deeply rooted in history and traditions, today s golf scene is getting with the times like never before. I m here to convince you golf is a great game, and here s 5 good reasons why. 1. Exercise Golf may be more physical than you think. Golf is about walking - a hell of a lot of walking. Walking is great exercise and is low impact on your joints. Plus you ll get a great tan in summer. 2. Challenge There are few more challenging and rewarding, games than golf. It s difficult to master. You should aim to have fun. Beginners are often shocked at how hard it is to swing consistently. There s few things more rewarding than a great shot. The sense of accomplishment from golf is something you have to experience. 3. Scenery Playing on a well maintained course is a stunning experience. No matter where you live, there will be a course with great scenery. Of course your local municipal course might not take your breath away but there s always courses with fabulously maintained fairways if you can afford to play on them. 4. Relaxation As golf is quite a slow game, with rounds often taking four hours plus, you have a lot of time to relax and reflect on things. Add this to the endorphins released by the gentle exercise and you ve got a perfect escape from the rat race. 5. Making friends Golf is an inherently social game. It s not necessary to play with other people but it is a lot more fun. Playing for wagers or joke bets is great fun, as well as playing in teams against each other. Even if you aren t competitive, you ll spend a lot of time walking and waiting at holes - plenty of time to chat and get to know people. If you have any Helpful Tips you want to share with the GSC members, please forward them to newsletter@gelandesprung.org. These tips can be anything you feel would help out skiers/boarders.
