MICHIGAN GOLFER ON THE ROAD
==============================
Flint-IMA
Scott Brotebeck, former head professional at Metamora CC, has taken the position of General Operations Manager at IMA Brookwood GC. Sherlynn Everly, Executive Director of the IMA of Flint, and former Director of the Crim Festival of Races, feels estatic about Scott coming on board. The IMA, says Everly, has been many things over its three quarter century of serving citizens of Flint, but now it is time to return to its roots of serving recreation needs of Flint youth.

The driving range has been reconfigured and promises to be an even greater asset than it has been in the past. It will be lighted to ensure that the new tee box gets lot of play. The course hosted 25,000 rounds last year, and is well positioned to exceed that mark this year.

For more information on IMA Brookwood Golf & Banquet Center or to contact Scott Brotebeck, call (810) 742-4920.

BOOK REVIEW-"JUST HIT IT" By Frank Thomas with Jeff Neuman
by Terry Moore
=========================================================
To a reviewer, the mark of a good golf book is a mark, lots of them. By that I mean, if after reading a book you page back through it and realize you've marked it up to note key passages and insightful observations well that's a good book. That's the case with "Just Hit It," by Frank Thomas with the assistance of professional writer Jeff Neuman. An engineering graduate from Western Michigan University, Thomas is best known as the long-time Technical Director of the USGA where he ruled the roost for determining "conforming equipment" for 26 years. Today, he's the chief technical advisor for the Golf Channel and Golf Digest while also being the principal owner of Frankly Golf, a golf consulting firm that also sells his patented Frog putter.

"Just Hit It" can be relished on several different levels. First, it's a cogent and deft meditation on the game itself and how in many ways it has gone astray due to the modern age's excessively designed, too penal, and overbuilt courses; to greedy golf manufacturers pushing expensive and marketing-obsessed equipment; and timid rule-making bodies (i.e. USGA and R & A) not doing their jobs of protecting the traditions and customs of the game because of lawsuit worries.

Second, the book provides a concise history of club-making and golf innovations such as the gutta percha ball, the track iron, the center-shafted Schenectady putter, graphite shafts (which Thomas helped to introduce to golf), Ping's putter and perimeter-weighted irons, TaylorMade metalwoods, titanium-headed drivers, and multi-layered balls. Along the way, Thomas drops a number of interesting chestnuts: Bobby Jones's famed Calamity Jane putter had eight degrees of loft to help on the bumpy greens which probably stimped at four; Grand Rapids and longtime Blythefield club pro John Barnum was the first tournament winner with a Ping putter; and the $300 million lawsuit between Ping and the USGA (when Thomas was technical director) was "all about the width of a human hair" on the contested Ping irons' grooves.

I also liked how Thomas serves up a host of practical advice and counsel on equipment decisions for the everyday golfer. For example, Thomas recommends no more than a 44 inch length driver for men of average height. "A shorter shaft will almost always lead to more hits on the sweet spot," states Thomas. He also urges consumers to pay close attention to shaft flex and lie angle before buying equipment which agrees nicely with the positive trend for personal club-fitting. Heck, Thomas even answers the question about how good are those unused golf balls one may rediscovered in the basement? Balls kept in a dry place "for four or five years will see no measurable decrease in distance," promises Thomas. Yet for all of his acclaimed technical skills and equipment knowledge, Thomas is refreshingly candid and frank in advocating "work on improving you, instead of your clubs." Please consult your local PGA teaching professionals and tell 'em Frank sent you.

The only section I found somewhat tedious was an early chapter, offered up as an allegory of sorts, about a fictionalized game of obstak and how its simple roots and appeal had been corrupted and hijacked by commercial and marketing forces. "The game of obstak is in the hands of those who profit from it instead of those who played and loved it." It's ably written and nicely argued but too much time and attention are lent there.

However, I was favorably struck by some of the astute research and studies cited by Thomas and how they should serve as another (how many does it need?) wake-up call for the beleaguered industry. To wit, "the two greatest deterrents to developing an addiction to golf are time and cost." The book ends on a particularly robust note with eight steps for saving the game and as building blocks for its future. Those eight steps are.hey, wait a minute. Just read it!

“GROWING THE GAME” RESEARCH PRESENTED AT THE WORLD SCIENTIFIC CONGRESS OF GOLF
===================================================================================
Groundbreaking research on “Saving the Game” conducted by Frankly Golf was recently presented at the World Scientific Congress of Golf. Frankly Golf is headed by Frank Thomas, former USGA technical director and author of the recently released golf book “Just Hit It.”

Among other findings, the study, which included feedback from 14,420 U.S.-based respondents, found that time, cost and difficulty are the three biggest reasons golfers are leaving the game.

Results from the study showed that most golfers prefer to play golf courses that are shorter than those presently being designed. In general, golfers overestimated the distance they drive the ball by 30 yards or more – the study found that the average male golfer drives the ball 192 yards, and the average female drives it 145 yards.

COWBOY BOOTS
===============
A kindergarden teacher was helping one of her students put on his cowboy boots. He had asked for help and she could see why. Even with her pulling and him pushing, the little boots still didn't want to go on. By the time they got the second boot on, she had worked up quite a sweat. She was not pleased when the little boy said, "Teacher, they're on the wrong feet." She looked, and sure enough, they were. It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting them on. She managed to keep her cool as, together, they worked to get the boots back on, this time on the right feet.

He then announced, 'These aren't my boots. She bit her tongue, rather than get right into his face and scream, "Why, didn't you say so?", like she wanted to. Once again she struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off his little feet. No sooner had they gotten the boots off when he said, "They're my brother's boots. My Mom made me wear 'em.' Now she didn't know if she should laugh or cry. But she mustered up what grace and courage she had left to wrestle the boots on his feet , again. Helping him into his coat, she asked, "Now, where are your mittens?" He said, "I stuffed 'em in the toes of my boots."

Thanks and a Tip of the Tam to Phyllis Shoebridge for this seasonal gem.
