	Women Build Day A hearty bunch of ladies came together to help build a home for the Habitat for Humanity on April 25th. We placed plywood on the roof, for those brave enough to get up there! Others hammered siding up and reinforced with more nails throughout the home. The best part of the day was the cold beer at Nancy's home after our hard work. Thanks Nancy for hosting us!	I've Never Played in a Tournament Clinic A 9-hole Outing occurred on Sunday, April 19th. Three three-somes of experienced and less experienced players took on the 9-hole, executive length Academy Course at Neshanic Valley Golf Center. The low gross score of 38 was achieved by Pat Harlow. Low number of putts honors went to Donna Beland. Prior to the on-course play, Elsie Ahrend provided all in attendance with a first-rate rules review, rules which were subsequently observed on the course. A great time was had by all, and Pat and Donna each walked away with a nice prize. Not bad for a windy Sunday!
	Golf Quotes.... The game of golf is 90% mental and 10% mental. If you want to get better at golf, go back and take it up at a much earlier age. Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is actually the beginning of the next group of three. When you look up and cause an awful shot, you will always look down again at exactly the moment when you ought to start watching the ball if you ever want to see it again. Any change works for a maximum of three holes and a minimum of not at all. No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse Never keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your swing. When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either hit one more club or two more balls.
