On Thursday Gary and I went to Atlantic so he could play the Nishna Hills Golf Course as he, his brothers, and Butch are signed up for a tournament on the 15th. I went to see my good friend Sherri Clark because I had not seen or talked to her since her husband Randy’s passing on April 25th. We played many, many rounds of golf with Randy and Sherri during our Cumberland IA years. Gary had a near mishap with his RV on the way here from Missouri last Thursday. Usually a golfer can records his/her swing by way of a video or digital camera. So the key to remember in an effortless energy golf swing is enhancing your bodies ability to rotate. Butch and Rich had a golf outing set up but Butch had reinjured his leg/hip and was unable to make it so Rich and Gary played and Jason joined them.
I am thinking that is a bit too ambitious but if I say “no” you can bet he will make it happen. It seems whenever Sherri and I are together there is always so much to say and we are never completely finished. Hickory Park is our favorite eating place in Ames and there are oodles and scads of people who feel the same as we do. Fortunately, there are methods to exercise this as well with the wide range of golf components for women. As a general update, the two of us are doing well. Butch is doing PT (physical therapy) 3 times a week and improving steadily. Butch is going to physical therapy 3 days a week and has successfully given up the canes, playing some golf with a cart, getting the mowing done regularly, feeding the birds, and is walking less and less looking like a cartoon character. I do not like my reaction to it.
Below is a simple image explaining the proper way to repair a ball mark. A victory celebration dinner included the company of Hammers midfielders and keen golfers, Declan Rice and Mark Noble. On the 16th the Dennhardt Construction Company came to look over the expectations and said they would most likely be ready to get it started on Monday, the 21st. Lo and behold they turned up yesterday and it became a frenzy of activity. Butch has been a bit impatient with his mobility on one hand but on the other hand, he WALKED the entire golf course yesterday. After setting out two tees, put your ball on the first one. We found out that Gary had become overheated while playing golf and they had to quit early. He is playing promotional callaway golf balls but so far he is using a golf cart. The cart can run a normal of 100-150 kilometers for every charge.
He has more time off than normal and his RV is in our extra spot so he has his accommodations readily available. The next step was getting ready to have the cement poured, figuring we had plenty of time. Tony Jacklin won that year and a collection of great players have since added their name to the most prestigious trophy on the European Tour. Breakdown: The former World No. 1 hasn’t won since slipping on his first green jacket at Augusta in November. A former Ladies Club Captain, and Club Champion of St. Nicholas ladies on no fewer than 10 occasions, Nancy has held many senior positions in ladies golf at a national and international level, as well as having undertaken refereeing duties at many major international amateur event, and this latest award is a very fitting and well deserved recognition of her many years of voluntary work on behalf of ladies golf and golfers. To work on one’s character flaws so it serves a purpose. So we made our way to Ames and the Wolfe Eye clinic and followed up his appointment with another visit to Hickory Park. Please keep an eye on the website and Facebook for news.
