WINS HOT LIST GOLD & EDITOR’SCHOICE

SIMPLE, STRAIGHT DISTANCE

“Theaesthetic of Callaway’s RAZR Fit driver first piqued my interest:

A square face on a classic shape. One swing later, and it was loveat

first smite. The company embraced adjust- ability for the firsttime in

real terms, opting for simplicity that doesn’t sacrifice power or

efficiency: A simple hosel adjustment sets the face angle at open,

square or closed, and two movable weights make misses less severe.

I went with the square face angle and the 12-gram weight on thetoe

to discourage a hook. The result: Straight on two counts. Straight

down the middle and straight into my bag. ”

— John Strege, ContributingWriter for Golf World

LOFTS: 8.5, 9.5, 10.5, 11.5

TECH TALK: This is the first Callaway driver to offer

adjustable weights and a rotating hosel. Users can

change the center of gravity (CG) with the sole weights

and adjust the face angle using three hosel settings.

The face has been redesigned to save weight (four

grams) and improve off-center ball speed.

PLAYER COMMENTS:

L: "My longest shot came on a toe hit." ...
"Thebest sound I've ever heard on a Callaway driver --
it has anice crack instead of a thud."

M: "My initial impression was that it didn't seem that

different. But then I hit it. Wow." ...
"It gives youfeedback,and it's forgiving."

HOT: Callaway is late to introduce seriousadjustability

in a driver, but this one might justify the wait.

NOT: A version made for tour players has even more

adjustable options. Why not offer this to the rest of us?

Check with the Pro Shopfor more details.

Greens KeepersRevenge (Benefit)

September 29^th

As most of you are aware LGCC has an annual golf outing where the greens keepers use their devilishly cunning skills to set up the course to frustrate and/or delight those of us who benefit from their hard work year round. This outing will be held on Saturday,October 29th. This outing also serves as an opportunity to thank the grounds crew.....something we should do year round. This year, as we all know, has required as extra effort by our crew....and they certainly rose to the challenge !! So...here is an opportunity for those who wish.....hence the PLUS !!

Firstly, the outing will be available for all those who want to participate and the cost will be $25/golfer. Kids under 16 will be charged $10/each. This year we will have food & drinks served after the event along with some prizes. Bob Hopkins and Harvey Galloway will provide a keg of beer....free as long as it last !

Now for the PLUS !!!.....we are giving our participants an opportunity to donate a minimum of $100/each that will be used to cover the additional work we need to complete around the #17th green. We estimate if we raise around $4,000 ( 40 golfers ) we can complete the retaining wall, install a culvert, dredge the inlet area and perhaps do some more repairs around the dam.

All participants will be able to purchase up to 2 mulligans at $5 each. All this money will be added to the $100 donation money and used for the work around #17 green.

On the sign up sheet please put a $$ sign next to your name if you wish to make a $100 donation ( in addition to the $25 entry fee ).

With everyone's help we can assist Deanie's crew in bringing back our "Jewel of the Valley" and have some fun along the way.

The format for this outing will be Captain's choice...with some details to follow.
