Now that the driving range has officially closed for the season things not only look different, but your body will probably feel a little different when you get to the first tee. I know mine will! With that being said, I have asked an expert on ways to stretch before heading out to play. Cory Puyear was kind enough to shoot a video showing some stretches that will help with getting loose without the availability of a driving range.
Cory and his staff are also available for appointment if you would like a session before you play. Please feel free to contact him at cpuyear@hotmail.com to set something up.
Even with the range closing, there are still a few weeks of golf left to enjoy at Conway. Not only is there regular play, but there are also a few more events on the schedule. Always a great event, the Member/Member is taking place Friday and Saturday of next week (July 25 & 26). There is a great turnout so far, but if you are looking to play there is still availability in the event. The Ladies Solheim concludes Wednesday, with the blue team currently holding a 6-4 lead after 18 holes of play. The tee reservation system has been implemented and is running on a daily basis. Definitely feels a little different, but people have been coming out early and checking the progress of the range before they tee off. Look for updates on that from Robin as she has placed a time lapse camera on top of the clubhouse that takes a picture every 15 minutes showing the progress. Really a neat way to see the progress on the range, amazing how quickly they get things done!
Also, next week there will be two of us competing in the Illinois Open Championship, myself and Andrew "Bubba" Bateman. We were able to make it out for a practice round earlier this week and are ready to head out to The Glen Club next week. Please follow along on the Illinois PGA website for live scoring Monday through Wednesday. We are both looking forward to a good week at The Glen Club and representing Conway Farms.
