Picture: Jack Lents braving the cold to try out his lengthened club. After looking at the photo, can you suggest three things that would help Jack improve his swing?Good neighbor Jack Lents came out to the golf course to try out a driver which he had extended by two inches. Over the winter, Jack has used some of the time on his hands to discover the ins and outs of putting together a club and has become somewhat of an expert in putting on and taking off a club's grip.
While Jack was hitting balls, Eric was out on the course doctoring that black cherry tree between #4 and #5 fairways. That particular tree was blasted by some lightning this past year or maybe it was two years ago. Primary doctoring tool was the chain saw which ran into a bit of trouble of its own when pinched tight in its run through a hefty branch. Eric had to resort to a chain and his pick up truck to drag the two of them apart. No biggie. Doctoring continued.
In other news: The weather warmed a bit for Martin Luther King Day. I wandered around the golf course and around the corner up by #4 green - the lake is way down and the exposed shoreline allows for some extended walking. Although the lake has been dropped over the winter during the past several years, it is the first time that I have gone around the corner - new territory - lots of drift wood and tree stumps and exposed roots, along with an eagle or two and a pileated woodpecker. Lake itself is frozen over with ice for the most part - Jack's golf balls, the ones he hit out into the lake, landed on the ice with a thunk and then bounded off with lesser thunks turning into skids and slithers and eventually stops.
World turns. Good thing, right?
