The Dow Shall Rise and Your Golf Score Shall Lower...
As the news continues to be disconcerting on the economy, and the Dow continues to drop, we all need to be thinking of how to spend our money and the value it adds to our life. Golf at Charwood Country Club is one of those great values for spending that entertainment dollar. My argument is a simple one. Where else can you spend seven to ten dollars an hour, be outside, and get the mental break from the every day concerns that we all need? Enjoy the game you love with Charwood Country Club...

Play the Blue Course..By Evan Shultz
As most all of you know, Charwood has 27 holes of golf. With this being said, each nine has to be played a little differently. This is just my suggestion on "how to play the Blue nine".
First, I believe this to be our best test of golf of the three nines. Each nine has it's own elements, but the Blue nine possesses all of these elements. My first thought while playing the Blue nine is not to go over the greens. If you are over the greens, Par is a very tough option. Secondly, the greens on the Blue nine have the most slope of the three. Because of the slopes, a three putt becomes a regular problem. Thirdly, I believe our Blue nine to be the best test for course management. We have many holes where the course has high risk rewards. There are two Par fives that can be reached in two, and a couple Par fours where we can cut the corners. But as I mentioned, the risk may not be worth the rewards! In closing, be sure to play short on pins, on approaches, and have your putting touch with you...
Notes from the Superintendent...Jack Miller
Spring is in the air and the azaleas are in bloom. We have already begun trimming trees and edging cart paths. The fairways and roughs have been arrified. We will be roping off #3 on the Red to establish a healthier turf for Spring and Summer. Please be patient while we increase the quality of the turf on this hole. We need you to help take pride in the golf course. Please remember to use sand bottles that are provided on the golf carts and sand buckets on all Par 3's to fill your divots. Thank you....
Notes from L.C.'s Grill Manager...Roy Rushing
Happy Hour is back!!! Join everyone on the PATIO next to L.C.'s Grille for "Thirsty Thursday's" from 5:oo to 7:00 and enjoy your favorite beer at discount prices!

Golf Tip...Three Wood Chip
On this tip I want to talk about a shot where you are facing a real difficult situation from just off the edge of the green. You don’t have a very good lie and there is a difficult pin placement, the flag is tucked behind a ridge. Remember sometimes the easiest play is just the safest play, and the safest play in this situation would be a putter. Just roll the ball along the ground because your worst putt is never going to be as bad as your worst chip, so a putter is a good play. A variation of that is to use a three-wood. It is a shot that Tiger Woods has used a lot and many other people have been trying with quite a bit of success. You hit this shot just as if you were putting. Grip down on the club so that that your hands are all the way down to the shaft at the bottom of the grip; Stand close to the ball and upright with the club; and Hit the three-wood just as you would your putter. Now the three-wood has some loft on it so it will get the ball just on top of the first cut of grass and then the ball will roll over the green to the hole. It is a very safe play and can be very effective. So try the three-wood when you are just off the green, it will roll just like a putt and it is easier than a chip.
You had a Choice and You Chose Us...
Thank you!
