On July 4, Indiana will move to Stage 5 in terms of its COVID-19 responses so what does that mean for Hidden Valley Golf Club? It means that almost all restrictions are lifted but please, please use common sense. You have all read in the news that many states are now experiencing significant increases in COVID-19 cases and some are dialing back their plans to return to normal operations. Bottom line is just be cautious. This pandemic is still with us. There is no vaccine yet so use common sense to avoid spreading the misery. Now, with the ‘health warning’ duly given, what does Stage 5 mean in terms of golf? “Social Distancing” still encouraged but here are a few changes entering stage 5: • Riding two per cart allowed • On Course – rakes back, water stations back, ball washers back, allowed to touch or remove flagsticks, sand bottles back for filling in divots, restrooms open. • Golf Shop – fully open at full capacity with social distancing. • Social Gatherings – 250+ people permitted. • Face Masks – Optional. • Payments/Cash Handling – return to in-person acceptance of credit cards and cash. 4 History of the Putter Golfers can be fickle when it comes to their perfect and gives them more confidence on the golf clubs.

This ball was made of cavity-back putter, which was designed to be rubbery sap from a tree grown in tropical forgiving of mishits and, not surprisingly, regions. It was significantly more durable and less expensive to manufacture than the easily damaged featherie, so golfers began using iron-headed clubs more and more, which greatly improved accuracy on most shots and improved feel on the putting greens. A typical putter from the late 1800s was one made by St. Andrews, Scotland, club maker Willie Wilson. By this time hickory wood from the United States was the most popular material for fashioning shafts because of its durability. Wilson’s design consisted of a simple brass club head with a thin blade, and a grip of padded sheepskin. The Most Renowned Putter of All Time Legendary golfer Bobby Jones won 13 major championships--including the Grand Slam in his triumphant year of 1930--with a putter so famous that it has a name, Calamity Jane. Actually there were two Calamity Janes, an original and a replacement made by the Spalding company for Jones after the original became too worn. The putter was relatively short, only 33 ½ inches in length. It was a goose- necked design with 8 degrees of loft on the blade and a hickory shaft.
