Hall of Famer Rollie Fingers Headlines Volunteers of America's Legends Tournament



Autographed baseballs from Hall of Famer Rollie Fingers are just one of the balls every player has an eye on at The Legends Golf Tournament to benefit Volunteers of America, in Denver, Colorado, on August 8. With the Colorado Rockies Charity Fund signing-on as event partner, this is a golf tournament with a baseball theme.

Festivities kick-off with a pre-tournament dinner on Wednesday, August 7, at The Denver ChopHouse & Brewery where Mr. Fingers meets golfers, signs autographs and talks about his 17-year career, earning election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame -- only the second relief pitcher to do so -- and winning him the honor of having his number retired by two teams (Oakland Athletics and Milwaukee Brewers). The dinner event is sponsored by CoBiz Insurance, a longtime underwriter of this annual party for tournament players and their guests.  


Then, on Thursday morning, August 8, the spotlight swings to the private Sanctuary Golf Course, created by RE/MAX co-founders Dave and Gail Liniger, where access is reserved for charity tournament participants. A full day begins at 9:30 a.m. with practice time, lunch, an 18-hole best ball tournament and dinner, and wraps up with awards at 7:00 p.m. Rollie Fingers is on hand to autograph baseballs, mingle with players and compete in the tournament.


Mr. Fingers joins a list of baseball celebrities who have supported Volunteers of America's Legends Golf Tournament over the past decade, including Brooks Robinson, Bob Feller, Gaylord Perry, Andres Galarraga, Goose Gossage, Fergie Jenkins, Harmon Killebrew, Steve Carlton and Dante Bichette. Traditionally, each year, the featured baseball player’s autographed jersey sets off the most enthusiastic live auction bidding.  


Entry fees begin at $5,000 per foursome and sponsorship and co-sponsorship opportunities are available. Funds raised benefit Volunteers of America Colorado Chapter’s family strengthening services for families moving out of homelessness and domestic violence. Please visit http://www.VOAColorado.org for more information.


Tournament co-chairs are Lee Earnhart of Chambers Wine and Liquor, John Milek of CoBiz Insurance and Greg Stiff of The J M Smucker Company.


To enter a foursome, become a sponsor, purchase tickets to the ChopHouse dinner or for more information, please contact tournament coordinator, Denise Robert at 303-368-5208 or Denise@DeniseRobert.com.

New Program Launched to Address the Age-old Problem of Slow Play



Steve Aronson, an avid golfer, came up with the idea for Play 240 GOLF (http://www.play240golf.com/) after being paired with a notoriously slow golfer on consecutive days in a club tournament. Aronson shared his experience; “It was extremely frustrating watching the prolonged pre-shot routine time and time again over 36 holes. I wanted to tell the guy he was slow but realized after a couple of subtle comments he was not going to pick-up the pace no matter what I said.” Aronson went on, “There had to be a way to let this guy know and others like him how to play golf at an acceptable pace. I realized telling someone they are slow was not the answer. They don’t believe it to begin with and even if they did accept the fact it does not help them play any faster.”

The heart of the program is a list of 10 golf etiquette fundamentals (http://www.play240golf.com/etiquette-rules/) (click here) that can be shared among golfers. The first fundamental according to Aronson is the most important and simply states “Be Ready to Play When It Is Your Turn.” Aronson explained, “Golfers that are not ready to play when it is their turn is the single biggest reason for slow play. Most of the remaining rules address all of the bad habits many golfers have that cause them to not be ready.”


One of the bad habits 240 GOLF (http://www.play240golf.com/) addresses for example is many golfers take their golf glove off after the tee shot then wait until it is their turn for the approach shot to replace it. Fundamental #2 simply states: “Put your golf glove on BEFORE your turn, not during your turn.” This bad habit by itself may not be a big issue. When you combine it with one or more of other bad habits such as multiple practice swings, or not having selected a club to use, the time it takes to complete a shot is way too long.


Aronson decided an education program all golfers could share was needed to teach slow golfers how to be ready to play their shot in a reasonable time. After careful study and much research the 10 rules were written. Once written it became clear the rules are simply nothing more than good golf etiquette fundamentals. No different than not stepping on playing partners putting line. Aronson explained it, “most golfers readily adopt etiquette rules when learning the game. And when they are alerted to an etiquette infraction they usually respond. It seemed logical to simply consider pace-of-play rules as good golf etiquette.”


Most importantly, Aronson calculated the average time per stroke it takes a foursome to play a round of golf in 4-hours on most golf courses. All of the factors were considered including whether walking or riding, time to look for errant shots, a stop at the turn, and penalty shots. At the web site a complete breakdown of a round is outlined (see the math here). The simple answer is golfers should be able to complete a golf shot in 30 seconds or less. This holds true for most if not all shots. By following the etiquette fundamentals golfers have no problem completing a golf shot in 30 seconds without feeling rushed. According to Aronson the average time for all shots taken during a round will be around 23 seconds.


To get this program off the ground Aronson is asking golfers frustrated by slow play to get involved. “There are two simple ways golfers like me who want to improve pace of play can participate. We are asking golfers to wear a golf hat with a 240 GOLF embroidered logo. When other golfers ask you about it, which they will, tell them 240 GOLF is a set of golf etiquette fundamentals to help golfers finish a round in 240 minutes (4hours). Then hand them the 240 GOLF etiquette card, You will receive a supply of the cards with the purchase of the hat. Second, send your favorite golf pro an email with a link to the to the Play 240 GOLF website asking them to support the program. In addition to the pace-of-play etiquette card there are additional low cost, merchandising items for golf courses to promote Play 240 GOLF.

Hopewell Valley Golf Club Honors Founder and First President



The Hopewell Valley Golf Club (HVGC) will hold a dedication and unveiling ceremony marking the renaming of its historic pub room.  The room will be named the “T.A. Pierson Room”, in honor of Dr. Theodore A. Pierson (1870-1948), a co-founder of the club and its first president.  The ceremony will be held on April 10 beginning at 5:00pm.  

HVGC has recently completed an extensive renovation of its historic clubhouse, updating the clubhouse exterior and all of its dining rooms.  “This renaming is in keeping with HVGC’s desire to maintain an updated facility while respecting the club’s history,” said Bill Shaw, HVGC General Manager.  


Dr. Pierson was a community leader in Hopewell, serving as a public official, physician and dedicated volunteer.    He was born in Lawrence Township, and received his early education at Rosedale School and Pennington Seminary.  He started his career as a pharmacist in Bordentown and later went to medical school at the Physicians and Surgeons College in Baltimore.  He came to Hopewell, where he became one of the leading physicians in the state.  He was elected a member ex officio of the New Jersey State Medical Society, the first doctor to be so honored.  He served for over fifteen years as a member of the Mercer County Republican Committee, was Mayor of Hopewell for four terms, and was on the Hopewell School Board for 17 years, 15 of which as president.   He was president of the Hopewell Board of Health for 25 years, and served as medical inspector of the Hopewell School for 10 years.  He was also a director of the Hopewell National Bank and Physician–in-Chief for Saint Michael’s Orphanage.  He was an avid sportsman, and was president of the Hopewell Athletic Club for over 25 years.  He enjoyed both baseball and golf.  


Dr. Pierson and George Wells, who inherited what was then the Glenmore Stud Farm in 1913, conceived the idea of building a golf course on the Wells farm.  The club was incorporated in 1927, with Dr. Pierson elected as the club’s first president, and serving in that capacity for ten years.  


Attending the dedication ceremony will be two grandsons of T.A. Pierson, T.A. Pierson III and Kester R. Pierson.   T.A. Pierson III used to caddy for his grandfather and others at the club beginning in 1932.  Today, he is a retired oil and gas geologist, and Kester Pierson is a director in the Princeton law firm of Mason, Griffin & Pierson, PC.


“Dr. Theodore A. Pierson was devoted public official, physician and surgeon,” said Kevin B. McQuade, president of HVGC’s board of directors.  “He was HVGC’s President for 10 years; we think he would be proud of the way HVGC continues to live up to his vision:  a place where you play golf the way it was meant to be played, walking and no tee times; a place where friends and family gather to enjoy all that Hopewell Valley Golf Club has to offer.  We can think of no better way to honor our founding father.”


About Hopewell Valley Golf Club:  Hopewell Valley Golf Club is a member-owned full service club located in central Hopewell Township.  The club offers an 18-hole walking golf course, multiple tennis courts, swimming pools, paddle tennis, and a range of dining options.  Dining and banquet facilities are open to the public for business and personal events.  Golf, tennis, and swim outings, and summer camps for children are also available.

The Millman N.R.G. Foundation is Breaking Barriers through Golf



According to the Americans with Disabilities Census Bureau, approximately 57 million people have a disability (2012). Scott Millman, co-founder of the Millman N.R.G. Foundation at UCP, is inspiring and encouraging those with disabilities to play golf. Millman and his wife, Teresa, created this foundation to not only share their love of golf with others, but to also make it a game accessible for all, regardless of physical or mental limitations.

On May 16, 2013, the Millman N.R.G. Foundation will be hosting “Barrier Breaking Golf,” an event to help raise awareness and increase participation in the game of golf for those that have a disability or a physical limitation. This free event will be held at the Whispering Willows Golf Club, located at 20500 Newburgh Road, Livonia, MI 48152 from 3 PM – 5 PM.


Barrier Breaking Golf is designed to improve golf skills. Attendees will receive assistance from trained professionals, including Scott Millman, an Accessible Golf Instructor, as well as a United States Golf Teachers Federation (USGTF) Master Golf Professional with over 20 years of teaching and playing experience.


Space is limited to the first 50 golfers that sign up. To register for this event or for additional information, please send an email to Teresa Millman at Teresa@thesimpleworldofgolf.com. All levels and abilities are welcome. Registration must be completed by May 9, 2013 to participate.


Millman named his foundation, Millman N.R.G. (No Restrictions Golf) Foundation because he believes that there are therapeutic benefits from participating in a game of golf regardless of ability.  “It offers social interaction, as well as physical and emotional benefits,” Millman said. Not only will participants gain from health benefits, but the program also aims to improve their quality of life.


The mission of the Millman N.R.G. Foundation is to increase participation of persons with disabilities in the game of golf while transforming lives by providing a therapeutic approach to golf by creating a program for persons of all ages, disabilities, economic background, along with inner-city youth, disadvantaged and under-privileged youth; while assisting them with their emotional, cognitive, physical and social development.


Millman N.R.G. Foundation is sponsored by UCP, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit fiscal sponsor of active charitable programs. Through UCP, Millman is able to focus solely on his program’s charitable mission, rather than on the administrative burdens that an independent nonprofit can have. All donations to the Millman N.R.G. Foundation are tax-deductible. For more information about the Millman N.R.G. Foundation please visit their website at http://www.norestrictionsgolf.org.


UCP's mission is to empower people to help others by fiscally sponsoring targeted charitable programs that effect positive change through charitable, educational, scientific, or religious actions worldwide. UCP programs vary in size, budget and scope, but all share the desire to make a difference in the lives of others.

A Mission in the Hills, the new land of golf.



Preparing for my trip, my research showed one thing – Mission Hills is all about size! The Guinness Book of Records recognises the complex as the world’s largest golf resort and the numbers are certainly impressive. It boasts 12 courses, 216 holes, 3000 caddies, 1000 golf carts, 180 ground keepers 2 hotels and Asia’s largest spa.

Built in 1994, Mission Hills is situated just over the border from Hong Kong, in a stretch of land between Shenzhen and Dongguan. Its two main sites are easily reachable via Hong Kong Airport, and there’s even a mini-bus pick up from several Hong Kong hotels.


Luxury and service


I was booked in to stay at the Dongguan Hotel as the Shenzhen complex was closed for complete refurbishment. As I pulled up to the hotel I was met by Mona Li, the Director of Brand Development and my contact for the two-day stay. Walking through the opulent lobby to the premier check-in desk I very quickly realised that the Mission Hills experience is not just about size, but also about luxury and service.


My accommodation, a Grande Premiere Room, allowed me to enjoy personal butler service, a complimentary breakfast, evening cocktails and access to the Premiere Lounge. The room was sumptuous and modern with stunning views of the lake and the 18th hole of the course that I would later be playing. The personal welcome on the TV screen was a nice finishing touch.


Wealthy customers


As I settled in and unpacked, a fresh bowl of fruit was delivered just in case I felt peckish. After refreshing quickly I headed down to meet Mona for lunch.Walking to the Dongguan clubhouse (which happens to be the world’s largest clubhouse), I got a sense of the wealthy customers that Mission Hills has been built to serve. On our way to the World Restaurant we passed through an avenue of shops representing some of the largest luxury brands – all which would look at home in any high-end shopping mall around the world. Apart from the lavishness of the place it’s obvious that here golf is “king”. There are TV screens everywhere showing highlights of golf from competitions around the world – all on Mission Hills’ own television station.


Glorious meal


The menu for the set lunch had my mouth watering. To get the taste buds going I was first served an appetiser of ‘Tuna with Sesame, and Vegetable and Walnut Salad, Spicy Tomato and Seafood Soup’, followed by ‘Baked Garoupa with Crab Meat in Champagne Cream Sauce on Angel Hair Pasta with Seasonal Vegetables,’ and finished with ‘Tiramisu’.  All beautifully presented and expertly cooked as you would expect.


After such a glorious meal it seemed sacrilege to rush off, but my tee time was approaching and I needed to get ready for the highlight of my trip.


Olazábal’s signature course


Of the five courses at the Dongguan I was to play the Olazábal Course, which is José Maria Olazábal’s inaugural Signature course and one of the clubs strongest tests. This course is used for the Omega Mission Hills World Cup. It plays to 7,300 yards and boasts 151 bunkers (including 24 on the 15th hole alone), reflecting Olazábal’s reputation as a master with the sand wedge. It is also considered to be the prettiest course in the Mission Hills armoury.


I couldn’t wait; I just hoped my golf was ready for the challenge. I was introduced to my caddy, Mimi (all Mission Hills caddies are female and undergo a minimum of three months training), and found that her English was excellent. Once we had loaded up the cool box with water and towels, as the temperature was a modest 34°C, I was ready for the task at hand......

Zen Golf: Mastering the Mental Game



The best players know that golf is a game of confidence, and most important, concentration–the ability to focus and block out distraction. The goal of achieving clear thought is also at the heart of Buddhist teachings. In his highly original and groundbreaking book, noted PGA coach and Buddhist instructor, Dr. Joseph Parent, draws on this natural connection and teaches golfers how to clear their minds, achieve ultimate focus, and play in the moment for each shot.

Zen Golf presents a simple system for building “mental game mastery.” Dr Parent’s unique PAR Approach (focusing on Preparation, Action, and Response to Results) guides golfers with specific techniques for each aspect of their games. In chapters such as “How to Get From the Practice Tee to the First Tee”, “You Produce What You Fear”, and “How to Enjoy a Bad Round of Golf”, the author shares a personal teaching regimen that has helped improve the games of professionals and amateurs alike. By combining classic insights and stories from Zen tradition, Zen Golf helps eliminate the mental distractions that routinely cause poor shots and loss of concentration, allowing golfers to feel in “the zone” that professionals have learned to master.

Clear, concise, and enlightening, Zen Golf shows golfers how to prepare for, execute, and equally important, respond the results of any golf shot. A different approach to golf instruction, this book shapes ancient philosophies into new teachings.

Richardson Publishes Course Brains to Measure Club "I.Q."



Course Brains™, a new book by golf course architect Forrest Richardson, allows golf course operators and club members to gauge their course's I.Q. through a series of 25 topics. The notion for Course Brains came to Richardson following several years of meeting with clubs about ways to stimulate revenue and get a handle on operating costs. “A common theme in operating a golf course today is balancing the asset with the need to reduce cost and increase revenue,” notes Richardson. “My goal with the Course Brains program is to stimulate thinking that leads to positive change.

Using 25 separate topics, Richardson reaches out to superintendents, professionals, club managers and members in a clever way. Topics range from managed turf area planning to the nuances of course policies. In each, a case is presented for why the area of concern is important. At the conclusion of each section the reader is asked to assign a grade — self assigned by the reader — that fits their idea of the course being evaluated. By assigning an A, B, C, D or F, the reader is formulating a final score — the Golf Course I.Q. for their particular course.

“By taking topics separately, we are able to get the people who oversee golf courses to think about specific areas of the course,” says Richardson. A look at the Course Brains book will reveal a simple and straightforward test program that can be completed in less than an hour. The goal was to provide a tool for course course management that would lead to shared information. Indeed, one of the greatest uses of the Course Brains program is to have an entire management team take the test and the to compare how certain areas of the course were evaluated from one personnel to the next.

“A superintendent might grade bunkers a B or C,” notes Richardson. “While the green committee chair might think they deserve a D or F.” Richardson points out that this is especially useful information as a disconnect such as this at a club can translate to the bunkers never getting any improvement.

Course Brains was published in MiniBük format, a popular pocket-sized book measuring 3.5 inches by 5 inches. Course Brains is just 80 pages and takes less than an hour to read. As each of the 25 topics are read a grade can be recorded at the back of the small book.

Topics include:

• Managed Turf Area
• Drainage
• Greens
• Bunkers
• Yardage Flexibility
• New Player Attraction
• Time Flexibility
• Water & Power Use
• Liability
• Policies
• Pace-of-Play
• Practice Areas
• Clubhouse Areas
• Image & Marketing
• Land Use
• Mowing Priorities
• Legacy & History
• Tree Management
• Technology Use
• Irrigation
• Non-golfer Involvement
• Course Differentiation
• Course Ranking & Acclaim
• Golf Course Architect Involvement
• Attitude Toward Success

During a recent seminar among U.S. Military golf operations executives, Richardson debuted the program to 32 course operators. The results opened dialogue among the participants, shedding light on why some viewed things as being "O.K." while the same topic garnished "D" or "F" grades from others. "In one example the people who see and use the irrigation system every day know it was in need of lots of work," points out Richardson, "While those who collect the green fees and manage the clubhouse are under the impression the system was just fine the way it is. This opened the minds of those involved, and now each has a better appreciation for just how smart their course may be."

In addition to getting to an "I.Q." score, communication is the hallmark of the program. While it may be fun to see where your course falls — Genius, Superior, Above Average or Dull — the real value is stimulating conversation and opening minds. Richardson is not interested in pointing out brilliance versus stupidity, but rather the power of perception and knowing where to focus energy at a club.

Course Brains is published by On Course Publishing (ISBN 9780970756374) at a retail price of $5.95. Quantity orders may be arranged through Golf Group Ltd. at 602-906-1818, Ext 201.

The new standard for sports chic fashion is now on Kickstarter until February 28



High resolution images for this press release are available at http://www.tomiotee.com/kickstarter.
As the premier eco-friendly golf apparel brand, TOMI OTEE (www.tomiotee.com) is a pioneer and leader in the full supply chain integration of sustainable and ethical practices in the sports chic and golf industry. TOMI OTEE’s goal is to influence consumers to think sustainably in their practice of golf and in their consuming habits all the while looking good in fashionable clothing.

The kickstarter program detailed on Kickstarter and at http://www.tomiotee.com/kickstarter is centered around promoting three defining values: designing fashionable sports chic clothing, bettering our environmental impact through our eco-friendly products and our first-of-its-kind growing network of textile recycling facilities, increasing our impact on local community through creating American jobs and giving back to local charities.

TOMI OTEE’s 2013 collection which can be seen at http://www.tomiotee.com/kickstarter was inspired by summer in the Hamptons and on the French Riviera. “We thought about simple designs, clean and unique, with summer colors as sober as they are expressive and colorful. Achieving that balance is what makes our products unique.” Thomas added, “our collection is as much about the design as it is about the fabrics we choose. Our recycled polyester is super soft and extremely performant, bringing together both the luxury world and active lifestyle. The fact that we make our clothing in the US is just really exciting – we take great pride in the jobs created through us.”

TOMI OTEE’s recycling network is the first of its kind and is detailed at http://www.tomiotee.com/kickstarter. “This is an exclusive program that we set up with USAgain, a leader in textile recycling. We will operate recycling bins over the tristate area for now, from Hartford in CT down to the middle of New Jersey, including of course in the Hamptons. The goal is to save textiles from ending in landfills, educate the golf community on being eco-friendly, and support local charities. That’s why we call it the Positive Impact program,” said Thomas, adding: “We’re very proud and excited about this unique program, and we’re excited to plan events with the children around recycling. Great fashion, in a sustainable world.”

Thomas concluded, “We’re proud to spread the word through the kickstarter community which has always supported initiatives led by small companies with big dreams and strong ethics.” For more information and pictures please email: contact@tomiotee.com or visit http://www.tomiotee.com/kickstarter.

Sell-out crowds at Gulliver’s annual Raider Challenge golf and tennis tournaments



Gulliver’s Raider Challenge: 11th Annual Golf Classic and 4th Annual Tennis Tournament took place January 14 at the Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club. This annual event was presented by AA Uniform and Ola Construction. Both tournaments were a huge success, selling out far in advance of the event and raising more than $60,000 to benefit the booster club, which supports athletics at Gulliver.

The Tennis Tournament was sold out. Before the tournament, a full-court of players were greeted with a gift bag, continental breakfast, silent auction and raffle prizes. Winners of the Tennis Tournament were announced at a luncheon in the club’s Crystal Room. Marc Seymour and Dan Mulligan took home trophies in the men’s division, while Sheba Quirk and Marianne Pantin won the women’s A division, and Mina Schultes and Yannik Labrador won in the women’s B division.

The Golf Classic welcomed back a full course of 144 golfers. The traditional “Are you Better than a Gulliver Student Golfer?” contest ramped up the competition. Stationed at different holes, student golfers Zachary Buttrick ‘20, John Ehrling ‘20, Roman Lopez ‘18 and Max McKenna ‘18 challenged tournament golfers to beat them in distance from the tee.

More than 200 attended the awards dinner to see the tournament championship handed to Jeff Baxter, Marshal Smith, Calum Gibb and Chuck Mercer. First runners up were Dan Cautier, John Carlisle, Matt Jonah and Matt Pattulo. Guests also enjoyed winning an assortment of raffle prizes, including Kindle Fires, golf clubs, and a 51-inch TV. Mercedes Benz of Coral Gables and Williamson Automotive Cadillac BUICK GMC provided three different cars for the hole-in-one contests. Masseuses from Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa provided chair massages when the golfers came off the course. Each golfer received a plush gift bag complete with a golf shirt and windbreaker.

The Raider Challenge benefits Gulliver’s Booster Club, which provides funding to all athletic programs to support teams over and above the school athletic operating budget. Gulliver provides a host of athletic opportunities to meet the needs of students, from spectators and players to inter-scholastic competitors.

ColdFusion Golf, proud developer of the Cold Fusion Cold Weather Golf Ball announces the availability of their Two Sleeve Test Pack. The Two Sleeve Test Pack is a low cost way to find out why ColdFusion is the best choice for a winter golf ball.

Homegrown in North Carolina, the ColdFusion Cold Weather Golf Ball is the first of its kind. It was created as a simple, smart solution to reduced golf ball performance that comes with playing in cold weather.
After determining that there wasn’t a ball specifically designed to be played in colder weather, ColdFusion Golf researched and developed the ColdFusion Cold Weather Golf Ball. They created a smart solution with emphasis on maintaining the player’s performance and feel in colder temperatures. The ball’s unique construction makes it outperform regular balls in cold weather.

Because the ColdFusion ball works better when cold, it simplifies life on the course. No longer is it necessary to try to keep golf balls warm over the course of a round. It actually needs to be kept cold for maximum performance. ColdFusion Golf suggests that you store the ball where it will be kept chilled/cold before and during a round.

At only $19 delivered, the ColdFusion Two Sleeve Test Pack is an inexpensive way to try the best choice in a winter golf ball.
