Week #1 Team Scores and Recap

We teed off yesterday for Opening Day of the Long Island Insurance Golf League's 2012 Season. 

Even though it was a bit damp and chilly towards the end, 

the weather held off (That cell passed right through huh Senoir?) 

and the course held up nicely under the conditions resulting in 

a successful kickoff to our 2012 campaign.

For those that couldn't make it down to the course yesterday you were missed. 

But there is always the coming weeks to catch up on the points 
that were left on the table due to yesterday's absence.

Here Are the Team Results from Yesterday:

1st Place: Four Teams Are Tied with 6 Points:

Team #2

Team #3

Team #6

Team #10

5th Place: Team #14 with 5 Points

6th Place: Three Teams Are Tied with 4 Points:

9th Place: Three Team Are Tied with 2 Points:

The Meaning of Opening Day

At long last Opening Day of the 2012 Long Island Insurance Golf League is upon us.  It is the first day of a long and arduous 17 week regular season and 18-hole end of the year tournament.  Beyond the pageantry of Opening Day, which is something akin to New Years Day, the meaning of Opening Day is that golf is back and winter is over, even if it tries to hang on a few more weeks.

Can Team #1 repeat their championship from last year?  Who will challenge for the Championship among all our newcomers?  Which returning team is most improved from last year?  Teams which are expected to do great things sometimes collapse due to injuries, unexpectedly poor play by players that are supposed to have a good season or a failure of teams to consistently show up every week to play.  And sometimes - teams with low expectations rise to the top.

For those reasons I take all predictions made on opening day with a grain of salt.   This is reality and what makes golf so much fun!!  You never know how this long campaign will play out.

I love golf because it really is an allegorical play about America and life. There are the highs and lows, the disappointment of unfulfilled expectations and the excitement of the underdog team that pulls it all together to win.  The meaning of Opening Day is that it is a beginning and not an end.  The end will only be seen when the last out ball goes in the cup at the 18th hole of the tournament!!!   

...The Best of Luck to All Our Teams

Here are some great golf quotes to commemorate 
Opening Day of the 2012 Long Island Insurance Golf League:

"Eighteen holes of match or medal play will teach you more about your foe than will 18 years of dealing with him across a desk."  ~Grantland Rice

"Golf appeals to the idiot in us and the child.  Just how childlike golf players become is proven by their frequent inability to count past five."  ~John Updike

"It is almost impossible to remember how tragic a place this world is when one is playing golf."  ~Robert Lynd

"Golf is so popular simply because it is the best game in the world at which to be bad."  ~A.A. Milne

"I have a tip that can take five strokes off anyone's golf game:  it's called an eraser."  ~Arnold Palmer

"Golf is a game that is played on a five-inch course - the distance between your ears." ~Bobby Jones

"I'm about five inches from being an outstanding golfer.  That's the distance my left ear is from my right."  ~Ben Crenshaw

"Golf is like a love affair.  If you don't take it seriously, it's no fun; if you do take it seriously, it breaks your heart."  ~Arthur Daley

"Golf is a fascinating game.  It has taken me nearly forty years to discover that I can't play it."  ~Ted Ray, Golf - My Slice of Life, 1972

"The number of shots taken by an opponent who is out of sight is equal to the square root of the sum of the number of curses heard plus the number of swishes."  ~Michael Green, The Art of Coarse Golf, 1975

"If there is any larceny in a man, golf will bring it out."  ~Paul Gallico

"Golf is like an 18-year-old girl with big boobs.  You know it's wrong but you can't keep away from her."  ~Val Doonican

"Golf is a lot of walking, broken up by disappointment and bad arithmetic."  ~Author Unknown

"It's easy to see golf not as a game at all but as some whey-faced, nineteenth-century Presbyterian minister's fever dream of exorcism achieved through ritual and self-mortification."  ~Bruce McCall

"Forget your opponents; always play against par."  ~Sam Snead

"If profanity had an influence on the flight of the ball, the game of golf would be played far better than it is."  ~Horace G. Hutchinson

Callaway Razr Fit driver now adjustable

From the Golf Channel's  Equipment Insider

  

The big news behind this month’s introduction of Callaway Golf’s Razr Fit driver is that it marks the first time the equipment maker has offered one with movable weights and an adjustable hosel.

Let’s begin with the OptiFit adjustability system employed in the hosel, so golfers can set their face angles at address three ways: open, square and closed. Then, there are the two movable weights in the clubhead, one weighing 12 grams and the other that can be used to manipulate center of gravity and help promote either a neutral or draw ball flight.

In addition, the Razr Fit driver incorporates what company engineers describe as “an aerodynamic shaping innovation” called Streamlined Surface Technology that is designed to improve air flow and reduce the energy loss during a swing due to drag. Which helps to increase that all-important, distance-enhancing swing speed at impact. At the same time, Callaway combines hyperbolic shaping of the clubface with precision thickness control to create a larger sweet spot.

Not everything is new with the Razr Fit, however, and Callaway has also employed some tried and true technologies in this driver, which has already found its way into the bags of touring pros such as Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els and Alvaro Quiros. This includes the forged composite material it uses in the Razr Fit crown, to optimize center of gravity and improve MOI (moment of inertia) for better forgiveness.

“Callaway is not just entering the adjustability race with the introduction of Razr fit,” says Dr. Alan Hocknell, senior vice president of research and development at the California clubmaker. “We are taking the pole position, and the adjustable features combined with our proprietary technologies allow golfers to play a more meaningful role than ever before in their journey to optimized performance.”

The Razr Fit driver comes standard with a 45.5-inch Aldila RIP’d NV shaft and a Golf Pride New Decade Multi-Compound grip.
