Drive, Chip, and Putt Qualifier at Green Bay Country Club

(Green Bay, WI) Over 150 youth golfers from throughout Northeast Wisconsin will be competing in the local qualifier for the national Drive, Chip, and Putt Championship. The qualifier will take place on Monday, July 31st from 9 am – 3 pm at Green Bay Country Club, 2400 Klondike Road in Green Bay.

The general public is welcome to cheer on the competitors. Food and beverage will be available for purchase at an outdoor grill tent.

About Drive Chip and Putt (from www.drivechipandputt.com/about)
A joint initiative founded in 2013 by the Masters Tournament, United States Golf Association and The PGA of America, the Drive, Chip and Putt Championship is a free nationwide junior golf development competition aimed at growing the game by focusing on the three fundamental skills employed in golf.
By tapping the creative and competitive spirit of girls and boys ages 7-15, the Drive, Chip and Putt Championship provides aspiring junior golfers an opportunity to play with their peers in qualifiers around the country. Participants who advance through local, sub-regional and regional qualifying in each age/gender category earn a place in the National Finals, which is conducted at Augusta National Golf Club the Sunday before the Masters Tournament and is broadcast live by Golf Channel.

“These youth golfers are the future of the sport,” commented GBCC Director of Instruction Lucas Hana. “Having the Drive, Chip, and Putt qualifier at Green Bay Country Club is truly an honor for us.”

Tennis Tip of the Week: Be Patient!


Putting together a point and setting yourself up for a winner to finish it is one of the most over-looked factors of a tennis match. Yes, it is important to focus on getting every ball in, but it is also important to anticipate where the point is going. Many players go for too much too soon instead of being patient and waiting for the right time to finish the point. The average tennis point only lasts 4-5 shots depending on the level, so if you can hold out just a little bit longer than your opponent, your patience will pay off more times than not.

Looking forward to seeing you on the courts!
Coach Rob

Cheyenne Spirit Echinacea Provides Burst of Color


By GBCC Gardener Mary Lemens

One of my favorite plants is Echinacea or its more common name, the cone flower. Over the years so many new varieties have been introduced. It's not just the purple cone flower anymore. The blossoms are also more diverse in shape and petal size. Magnus and White Swan are some of the more common varieties. The newer ones have names as interesting as the colors: Hot Papaya, Butterfly Kisses, Flame Thrower, Fragrant Angel and Milkshake are just a few.

The one that stands out to me in both color and performance is Cheyenne Spirit. The pictures are of this variety, and yes they have different colored blooms. Once established all of those colors will be on each plant at the same time. They are just beautiful when in full bloom.  It's a colorful bouquet on each plant.

The plant is very hardy and disease resistant so very easy to grow. I have five plants growing in the new bed along the patio outside the 19th Hole. They just started to bloom this week so you can see the colors they show.

I'm excited to see them next year once they are a more mature plant. I think you're going to enjoy them as much as I do!

Gardner out.
