HOW TO DRIVE WITH A PUTTER Ẅ Use a sturdy, flange-type putter. Most modern putters are not built to handle the force that driving a golf ball produces. Try to use a heavier putter, preferably one with a steel shaft inserted securely into (rather than over) a thick hosel. ẅ Tee the ball up high. Since a putter does not have any loft, you will have to 1 tee the ball up high, approximately 1 ⁄2 to 2 inches off the ground. Ẇ Play the ball well forward in your stance. Tee the ball forward of your front shoulder. ẇ Take several practice swings to get the feel of swinging a putter. Putters are very light and will fly around much faster than a driver, and with much less effort. Ẉ Make solid contact with the ball. Hit the ball on the upswing. Hitting cleanly is much more important than swinging hard when driving with a putter. When driving with a putter, pick one that is less likely to break. Sturdy grip Steel shaft Steel shaft inserted into (not over) the hosel Be Aware • Older, major-brand putters are less likely to break apart on impact. Used-club shops and club repair shops are the best places for finding a putter of this type, but you may find one in a sporting goods store. • There is a danger that upon contact with the ball, the head of the putter will fly off the shaft. Make sure no one in your group is down course..

Caddie Guide
GETTING STARTED AS A CADDIE A GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS 49 Knollwood Road • Elmsford, NY 10523 www.mgagolf.org INTRODUCTION Caddieing is a great job. The money is good, you work outdoors and have an opportunity to meet successful and influential people, and you may even earn a college scholarship. Caddieing is an important job. It is part of golf’s heritage and part of its future. It is also a great way to learn the game of golf. This is YOUR book. Study it and ask your Caddie Manager or Golf Professional to explain anything that is not entirely clear. Knowledge of its contents will help make you a better caddie and valuable to the club and the golfers you serve. This book is published by the MGA Foundation. We believe caddies are an important part of the game of golf and together we are working to help keep young people like you active and interested in this great sport. THE CADDIE MANAGER The Caddie Manager is pivotal to the golf club industry with many responsibilities, which can materially affect the welfare of the club. The Caddie Manager is charged with the task of recruiting and scheduling caddies. He must also communicate effectively with the Golf Professional and other club staff members and can have a significant influence on the extent to which the membership enjoys the game. A professionally trained, knowledgeable and courteous group of caddies and a well-managed caddie program can help a club deal more effectively with slow play, significantly add to the number of enjoyable rounds of golf a n d enhance the club’s overall image of a first class operation.

Phillis Meti Wins World Long Drive Championship with Exotics Driver by Tour Edge
Phillis Meti Wins World Long Drive Championship with Exotics Driver by Tour Edge 2nd World Long Drive Championship in Three Years for Exotics Driver Tour Edge Exotics staff player Phillis Meti won the women’s Volvik World Long Drive Championship Wednesday night with a 313 yard drive in the final round of the live for television Golf Channel event. Meti recently switched to a new Exotics driver and is now a 3-time World Champion that has won two World titles in the last three years competing with an Exotics by Tour Edge driver. She is now tied for second-most all time World Championships in the Women’s Division with Stacey Shinnick (2000, ’02, ’05). Meti’s 317-yard drive in the semifinal match moved her on to the Finals in Thackerville, Oklahoma. “This is really unbelievable,” Meti said following the win. “When we took a different course earlier this year in terms of training and focus and having the intention to win the World Long Drive Championship again, you know this is just the cherry on the cake.” Meti, from New Zealand, has a strong history with World Long Drive as the Volvik World Long Drive Champion (2016, 2018), Volvik World Long Drive Runner-Up (2007, 2008) and 2017 Clash in the Canyon and 2018 Atlantic City Boardwalk Bash Runner-Up. “We are so proud of Phillis for her amazing victory in World Long Drive last night,” said designer of the Exotics driver and President of Tour Edge, David Glod. “This is a growing sport that is aired live on Golf Channel so Phillis has given our driver a huge amount of exposure.

12 Great Ideasfor Golf Tournaments
12 Great Ideas for Golf Tournaments TIP Golf Relay This is a team event where members of the team switch off 1 after each shot, like a relay running event. One person drives the ball, then the next hits the ball onto the green, then the next puts it in, and so forth and so on. The idea is just to switch out in a set rotation after each hit to make the course more challenging. The team that completes the tournament quickest and the team with the lowest score are both given prizes. 12 Great Ideas for Golf Tournaments TIP Golfathon There is a limited field of individual golfers (15-30) who 2 play as many holes as they can in a day. The golfers acquire pledges from sponsors for their rounds and it’s basically like any race where the golfer then tries to get in as many holes as possible to maximize pledges. The money then goes to the designated charity. 12 Great Ideas for Golf Tournaments TIP Porcupine Hole There are three pins on a par three. One is the main pin 3 and two others have different colors. The main pin should be in a harder location on the green and the golfer/teams would then have the option to pay a fee to try for the easier pin placements. The different color pins makes this look interesting too. 12 Great Ideas for Golf Tournaments TIP Lone Ranger The idea for this one is simple, but interesting. Players form 4 into teams, but only one person plays each hole and the goal is for the team as a whole to rack up a good score.
