Expect to see mostly 3-woods off the tee as hitting the fairway is a must. 4 / EXECUTIVE GOLFER / 2012 ARKANSASSPORTS360.COM [ED COOLEY WHITE RIVER GALLERY] NO. 10 THE ALOTIAN CLUB (Little Rock) The Alotian Club, built atop rugged hills in western Pulaski County, was recently ranked No. 7 among all U.S. courses for its beauty by Golf Digest. That followed up Golf Digest’s No. 14 ranking among the best 100 courses in the country in 2011. Lake Maumelle and the mountain peaks in the distance provide some eye- popping vistas, such as on the par-4 No. 10. [MICHAEL PIRNIQUE] ARKANSASSPORTS360.COM 2012 / EXECUTIVE GOLFER / 5 NO. 16 PLEASANT VALLEY COUNTRY CLUB (Little Rock) Some golfers believe Little Rock’s Pleasant Valley Country Club has 27 “signature” holes. No doubt, every hole on this Joe Finger- designed layout is unique. The last three of the second nine, traditionally16-17-18 on the scorecard, offer the most talked about view. No. 16 is a short par-4, 320 yards from the tips, but with the practice range and trees to the right and the lake guarding the entire left side, two precise shots are required to hit a small green.

The course has teeth, ending with this dogleg-right 400- yard No. 18 with trees lining the left and water awaiting on the right for the second shot. When the hole location is in the back, any golfer would be thrilled to leave the green with par. [PHOTOGRAPH PROVIDED] NO. 17 HARDSCRABBLE (Fort Smith) Fort Smith’s Hardscrabble Country Club played host to a Nationwide Tour event for several years, and its par-3 17th “signature” and the nearby fountain in the middle of the lake were seen by television viewers via the Golf Channel. From this view, the professionals were required to hit a 200-yard shot to a small, hourglass-shaped green. Luckily for most amateurs, there is a much shorter tee box to the left. A Hardscrabble round concludes with the par-4 No. 18, teeing off just left of the dike on the left side of the lake.

Bear Den will play host to the 106th Southern Amateur Championship in July.

    December 2010 Sport/Performance Psychology Resource List For Athletes, Performing Artists And Parents* “Mental discipline and attention control training means learning to play to your strengths and to recognize, correct, and minimize your weaknesses. When you cannot accept your own vulnerability and imperfection, you cannot accept mistakes. [Frustration due to perceived imperfection] builds and you feed on distractions; use minor irritations as excuses; blame others, the competitive condition, or a minor injury [because] it is easier to do that than to accept your own limitations.” (Nideffer, 103-106) The following resource list will introduce you to or enhance your mental training. Some are inspirational reads or movies, some are how-to-guides, and some are technical reads that will help you understand the concepts of sport/performance psychology and mental training. The resources are categorized as easy, moderate, or advanced, depending on the level of material covered and the ease of the read. We’ve also included links for purchasing each book either through Amazon or the author’s individual website. By consulting this resource list, you recognize the need to enhance your (or your child’s) mental training, thereby putting yourself on a path towards signiEicant performance improvement.

As film critic after film critic stumbled over Screenwriter’s Monthly can be found themselves to call his performance everything from "original" to at the following fine locations: "eccentric," they forgot one thing: the screenwriters, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, who did one heck of a job creating Sparrow on paper first.
