Quote of the Month

They call it golf because the other four-letter words were taken.

"PARtnership Sponsor Corner:

2nd Swing continues to be a great supporter of our Chapter and women’s golf. They offer new and previously swung clubs and our benefit, free club fitting, a $200.00 value. Our fitters are Jackie Johnson and Skyler Kistler and you can schedule a fitting with either on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursday's at the Minnetonka store. When you set up your appointment you will need to let them know you are an LPGA Amateur Member

Several members have taken advantage of this benefit. Member Marge Beard reports: “Being a lefty, finding clubs isn’t easy. Jackie started by asking about my game and priorities. She is very knowledgeable about equipment and the golf swing. I was fitted with Senior-flex shafted clubs. I am quite pleased with these “look like new” clubs. It was a great experience.”
