SALEM GOLF CLUB FROM TEA TO GREEN March 2017 President s Message: March 2017 It s great to have the Club back open. Hopefully the weather will cooperate so we can get some golf in. Toby has been working to get all the equipment ready so when he has his department staffed in April they can hit the ground running and have the course ready for opening day. Chef Jerry has several exciting new items on the menu. Come on out and give them a try. Also, don t forget the Queen of Hearts drawing on Thursdays. Jackpot is at least $1800.00 Tom has been in the Golf Shop and will have it ready to open very soon. We are accepting Friends & Family members again this year. This program looks to be successful as we expect several new members from the 2016 group. So, let s all try to bring someone in and introduce them to the Salem Golf Club. If we can continue to increase membership, we then provide for the long term financial health of our Club. It looks to be an exciting and fun year with all the events and golf we have scheduled. See you at the Club, Jim Smith

TOM'S GOLF TIPS Chipping - For those members playing in Florida or heading on golf trips. SHORT TIGHT GRASS with sandy turf. Never try and scoop the ball up in the air. Let the loft of the club do the work. REMEMBER - when the club strikes downward at the ball, ball goes up. If club scoops upward at impact, ball goes down. Never help ball up. KEY - Let your hips rotate back and through impact. Keep weight slightly on left side and inside of right foot. Through impact, let your right hip and right knee rotate past impact area. (Try and get your right knee to catch and touch your left knee. )
