1 CELEBRATING 11 YEARS OF SINGLES GOLF IN AMERICA Orlando Chapter - American Singles Golf Association June 2004 ASGA Orlando Announces Weekly Golf!! Hi everyone. Our membership has expressed interest in playing more golf and that is what we will be doing starting the month of June. In addition to our 2 monthly outings we will be golfing one Saturday and one Sunday each month. Thanks to Brenda Fisher and Steve Coe for helping organize these outings. These outings will be informal and will be a play your own ball format. Look for s from ASGAOR- LANDO@AOL.COM. It was a busy month with an outing at North Shore and a weekend in Daytona. I had a lot of fun at both, thanks to Sue for organizing a great trip to Daytona! Speaking of trips, Ellen from Jacksonville was saying that the Amelia Island trip is filling up very quickly. If anyone is thinking about going I suggest you hurry before it is filled up like the Santee trip. Our group is continuing lessons with Jay Golden on Wednesdays at 6:30 PM at Winter Pines. The lessons are $25 for an hour. Everyone has been playing much better golf and hitting the ball much further. Don, Rosa, Mariko, and myself have been playing much better. I have been hitting the ball at least 20 to30 yards further and much straighter. We have a couple of members who have been taking private lessons from Jay also. Everyone seems very happy with his or her progress. Nine and Dine continues to be a lot of fun. We are teeing off at 5:30-5:45 now to make it easier for the working crowd to play. Even if you cannot golf stop by and join us for dinner. We always have a lot of fun and good conversation.

Every drive is a practice drive till you get one you like. 2. Subtract 1 stroke for every tee you remember to pick up. 3. If the ball rolls around the cup, it's a gimme. 4. If the ball looks like it was headed in the general direction of the cup, it's a gimme. 5. If the ball rolls over the cup, it s a gimme. 6. Distractions like noise, wind or clouds moving are immediate cause for a do-over. 7. If in a trap, your sand wedge may now be replaced by your sand shovel. 8. Chipping on the green will be replaced by an underhand toss. 9. The terms "par" and "double bogie" are hereby interchangeable. 10. If you take more than 5 strokes, count it as a 5 and move on.. there are people waiting!! Weekday Duffers LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO GOLF WITH DURING THE WEEK? CALL...
