<pre>***Evening Par 3 League coming to JBLE Golf in July***
Watch your email for more information about a new and exciting golf league coming in July to JBLE Golf Facilities. This will be a league designed for fun, friends, fast play and food. One night a week at each of our JBLE Golf Facilities we will turn every hole on one nine into a par 3 hole...that's right nine par 3's! The holes will be anywhere from 50-150 yards and will prove to be fun for golfers of all skill levels. The entry fee will only be $20 per week and that price will include your golf (1.5 hour time limit), cart, prizes and finger foods. After the round we will all meet up in the bar where we will gather to enjoy the food, some drinks and award some very unique prizes that will recognize both good play and as well as some other interesting categories. If this sounds like a league you would be interested in please email me back with your vote on which night and time would be best for the league. More information to follow next week with the registration details.
***US Open Pick 'em Challenge***
It's that time again for our Major Championship Pick 'em Challenge. The upcoming US Open will take place next week at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania and we want you to pick 4 players who you think will do the best in the tournament. The challenge is free to enter and your entry must be received in writing or via email NLT 0700 on Thursday 16 June 2016. You pick 4 players and that's it. If all four of your players make the cut you have a chance to win. The person whose 4 players have the lowest total score in relation to par wins the challenge. A full list of players can be found at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.usopen.com">www.usopen.com</a> Each JBLE Golf Facility will be running a challenge, so if you email in your entry please designate which course you wish to enter.
***The Pines at Fort Eustis welcomes Tim Lewis as our new PGA Teaching Professional***
We are proud to welcome long time PGA Professional, Tim Lewis, to The Pines at Fort Eustis as our PGA Teaching Professional. Tim attended Indiana University and became a PGA Member in 1992. He is a Veteran of 3 other PGA sections in New Mexico, Indiana, and Florida and has been in a Mid-Atlantic PGA Member since 2010 as a Teaching Professional. Tim's teaching philosophy: "I want to see what the club is doing in the swing. If the student understands what we want the club to do, then the body usually allows that to happen, within their own physical limitations." He is a fan of Ben Hogan with a keen interest of present day instructors including Jim Hardy, David Ledbetter, and Mike Bender. Tim also competes as often as possible. Listed below are some of Tim's recent playing accomplishments: Played in 3 PGA National Championships - 2008 2011 2015 and one Senior National Championship 2014, Winner of the 2012 Virginia Senior Open, Winner 2013 Mid-Atlantic Senior Match Play. His career low round 63 in Ft. Wayne IN and he has 9 Career Aces with the latest in 2014 where he had 3 Aces in 6 week period. Tim is currently living in Hampton, VA with his wife -Anna, who has 5 children, 4 adults and 15 year old Peyton who is with them part time each week. Tim is looking forward to being an integral part of the JBLE golf staff.

***JBLE Golf Bus Trip to Spring Creek***
The next of our 2016 JBLE Golf Bus Trips will be on Wednesday, 22 June 2016 and we will be headed to Spring Creek in Gordonsville, Virginia. Spring Creek is one of the top rated public courses in the United States and is always one of our most popular bus trips. The bus will leave The Pines Golf Course parking lot at 0715 Wednesday morning and will return after golf that afternoon. The price for the trip is only $70 per person and can be paid at The Pines Golf Course golf shop. The price includes your golf, cart, range balls and transportation; everyone will be responsible for their own food and beverage during the trip. The trip is open to the first 24 people who register; payment is required in order to reserve your seat on the bus.
***PGA Professional Tip of the Week - Quick check for proper swing plane***
A common problem I see in many students is an incorrect swing plane - mainly getting the longer clubs too upright making proper contact and ball flight almost impossible. A simple and quick check you can do on every shot to check for proper swing plane is to pay attention to the shaft angle at address. When you set up to the ball notice the angle of your shaft in relation to the ground...on the shorter clubs like your wedges the shaft will be at a pretty steep angle to the ground which means the swing will be rather up and down or upright in contrast to the longer clubs where the shaft is at a much flatter angle to the ground which will lead to a swing that is much more around your body for a more shallow angle of attach and more of a sweeping motion. Do this check before you start your swing and you will be certain to get the club on the proper plane and see some much improved solid impact. 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.
