***Help us keep your JBLE Golf Courses in GREAT Shape***

If you have played golf around the Tidewater and Richmond area you have
certainly seen that the wet spring followed by the hot and dry summer has
taken its toll on the greens of many golf courses.  Our JBLE Golf
Superintendents have done a great job keeping your JBLE Golf Courses in
wonderful shape; heads and shoulders above the competition.  The team at
Eaglewood led by Chris Davis and the team at The Pines led by Jake Adams
have done a wonderful job this summer, so please give them a word of thanks
when you see them out on the courses.  To keep the golf courses in great
shape we need your help.  Please remember to fix your ball marks on the
greens and rake the bunkers put sand in your divots and we will take care of
the rest.  Answers to the two most frequently asked questions: Rakes go IN
the bunkers after you rake them (not a USGA rule, but a recommendation from
us - if your ball hits the rake and it stays in the bunker...well...you were
in the bunker in the first place) and the next question is how to fix a ball
mark...this will be answered in my tips from the pro section below.  Thank
you for your help in keeping the JBLE Golf Courses in GREAT Shape!

***Tidewater Military Golf Scramble - Saturday 24 September***
  
Represent your branch of the service in our Tidewater Military Golf Scramble
on Saturday 24 September at 0800.  Sign up your four person team to compete
in a captain's choice format golf scramble.  Space if filling up fast so
make sure you get your team entered soon.  Each team will declare which
branch of the service they are representing.  There will be prizes for top
scores in multiple flights as well as prizes for the branch of the service
with the most representatives and the lowest service branch score
(determined by combined scores of branch teams).  Make your plans today to

***BUS TRIP - The Currituck Club - Wednesday 28 September***

We are very excited to be taking our next JBLE Golf Bus Trip later this

***PGA Professional Tip of the Week - How to properly fix a ball mark***
  
I often get asked what is the proper way to fix a ball mark on the green.
The following is from www.about.golf.com and is one of the best descriptions
I have found on how to properly fix a ball mark.  The first step in
repairing ball marks is to take your ball mark repair tool and insert the
prongs into the turf at the edge of the depression. Note: Do NOT insert the
prongs into the depression itself, but at the rim of the depression. The
next step is to push the edge of the ball mark toward the center, using your
ball mark repair tool in a "gentle twisting motion," in the words of the
GCSAA. This is the step where golfers who incorrectly "repair" ball marks
usually mess up. Many golfers believe the way to "fix" a ball mark is to
insert the tool at an angle, so the prongs are beneath the center of the
crater, and then to use the tool as a lever to push the bottom of the ball
mark back up even with the surface. Do not do this! Pushing the bottom of
the depression upward only tears the roots, and kills the grass. So
remember:
Wrong: Using the prongs as levers to push up the bottom of the depression.
Right: Using the prongs to push grass at the edge of the depression toward
the center Once you've worked around the rim of the ball mark with your
repair tool, pushing the grass toward the center, there's only one thing
left to do: Gently tamp down the repaired ball mark with your putter or foot
to smooth the putting surface. If you need help with this or any other part
of your golf game please contact one of our PGA golf professionals who will
be happy to help you improve.
