All golf leagues are wrapping up their main tournament events this month, and we all look forward to hopefully being back to normal in the fall with shotgun starts and luncheons. Congratulations to all the winners from last month in the Men's 18-Hole Club Championship, Women's 18-Hole Club Championship and the Oro Valley Amateur. Men's 18 Hole - 2021 Club Champion - Dean Silverlock Women's 18 Hole - 2021 Club Champion - Debbie Huffman 2021 Oro Valley Amateur Champion - Jon Lindstrom Oro Valley Amateur - 2021 Gross/Net Divison Champion - Jim Phillips The next Yappy Hour will be Thursday, April 29 from 4:00 - 5:00 PM on the driving range tee.

  • Rule 50 Guidelines Developed by the IOC Athletes' Commission
    Rule 50 Guidelines Developed by the IOC Athletes’ Commission Introduction to the document by the IOC Athletes’ Commission As athletes, we are passionate about our sports and achieving our sporting performance goals. For each and every one of us, that passion continues into everyday life, where we advocate for change on issues of great importance to us and our world. That desire to drive change can naturally make it very tempting to use the platform of an appearance at the Olympic Games to make our point. However, all of us are here at the Olympic Games because, one day, we dreamt of being an Olympian, and maybe even an Olympic champion. The unique nature of the Olympic Games enables athletes from all over the world to come together in peace and harmony. We believe that the example we set by competing with the world’s best while living in harmony in the Olympic Village is a uniquely positive message to send to an increasingly divided world. This is why it is important, on both a personal and a global level, that we keep the venues, the Olympic Village and the podium neutral and free from any form of political, religious or ethnic demonstrations. If we do not, the life’s work of the athletes around us could be tarnished, and the world would quickly no longer be able to look at us competing and living respectfully together, as conflicts drive a wedge between individuals, groups and nations. That is not to say that you should be silent about the issues you care deeply about, and below you will find a list of places where you can express your views at the Olympic Games.

  • Odyssey Introduces Triple Track Putter Line and New Stroke Lab Black Putters
    Odyssey Introduces Triple Track Putter Line And New Stroke Lab Black Putters CARLSBAD, Calif., Jan. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Odyssey Golf, the industry leader in putter innovation, made two major product announcements: 1) The launch of the new Triple Track putter line, and 2) new Stroke Lab Black putter offerings, which combine the innovative Stroke Lab shaft with a wide array of pleasing, high-performance head shapes, each with a premium black PVD finish. Triple Track Odyssey's new Triple Track putter line, consisting of five proven shapes, was developed from Callaway's Triple Track balls to help golfers aim more accurately, make consistently solid contact, and start the ball on the target-line with regularity. These three lines are prominently featured at the center of the putter head. Triple Track Technology utilizes Vernier Hyper Acuity, the same visual technology used to land planes on aircraft carriers. "We were immediately intrigued by the Triple Track golf ball," said Sean Toulon, Odyssey SVP and General Manager. "We started drawing lines on putterheads right away and sure enough, player testing showed that pairing a golf ball with a Triple Track putter promotes better accuracy." The Triple Track putter line consists of five models: TEN, Double Wide, Marxman, 2-Ball and 2-Ball blade. Each incorporates a Stroke Lab shaft and the new Microhinge Star face insert. Nationwide availability starts January 30, 2020. Stroke Lab Black The first Stroke Lab Black putters, TEN and Bird of Prey, both super-high MOI mallets, were introduced last fall. New models unveiled today include two proven blades, ONE and Double Wide; two proven mallets, SEVEN and Rossie; and a new mallet shape, the R-Line Arrow.

  • The IOC AC's Recommendations on Rule 50
    The IOC AC’s recommendations on Rule 50 Q&A document What is Rule 50 and why is it in place? The aim of Rule 50 is that each and every athlete can enjoy the experience of the Olympic Games without any divisive disruption. Rule 50 provides a framework to protect the neutrality of sport and the Olympic Games and strives to ensure that the focus at the Olympic Games remains on athletes’ performances, sport, unity and universality. Currently, in addition to the framework that applies during the Games with regard to commercial promotion, Rule 50 states that: “No kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas”. Why did the IOC AC decide to start this consultation? In June 2020, following the publication by the IOC Executive Board of a resolution condemning discrimination in the strongest possible terms, the IOC Athletes’ Commission (AC) was tasked with exploring additional ways of how Olympic athletes could express their support for the principles enshrined in the Olympic Charter, including during the Olympic Games, while respecting the Olympic spirit. What were the already existing opportunities for athletes to express their views? A wide range of opportunities for athletes to express their views at the Olympic Games existed already before the consultation. They include: • in official press conferences, • through social and traditional media, and • at mixed zones in competition venues. In non-Olympic venues, there are no restrictions, except for those resulting from local laws and regulations. What are the recommendations proposed by the IOC AC? 1.
