19th Annual Bill Howard Tournament

March 30, 2017 by Jim Brewer

The Illumination Gala takes place the following evening. Both events are first class. I played in the tournament three years back and took my wife Nancy to the Gala the next evening. We had a blast.

Getting Ready To Hit Your Shot

March 23, 2017 by Jim Brewer

By Daryl Daughtrey   An old golf guru once told me that when your shots start going everywhere, other than where you want them to go, head to the practice tee and start subtracting. Subtract everything you have read about the golf swing, what you’ve been told or learned about the golf swing. What this guru meant was that a golfer must get back to the basics. As golfers, we only have … [Read more...]

A New Golf Book

March 16, 2017 by Jim Brewer

Dear Friends, Many of you may not realize it, but I've been very busy over the last few years planning my retirement, and putting my thoughts and ideas together into a book which I hope will carry me through it.

 I believe my new book on golf gives the reader valuable playing tips and insider information I've gained through my years of lessons, struggle, and experiment.
 
I am very proud of … [Read more...]

A Short Round of Golf

March 9, 2017 by Jim Brewer

Played golf yesterday with my three Amigos. We were having a spirited round, with Greg and I one hole up on Kevin and Troy with three holes to play. Then the golf marshal approached us and said we had to turn in the carts at 5:30, and it was 5:30. We had teed off at 2 pm and would have completed our round in a timely 4 hours. But it wasn’t to be. We had to turn in our carts – couldn’t even … [Read more...]

Life From the Forward Tees

March 3, 2017 by Jim Brewer

  Men are not likely to stop and ask for directions, not are they inclined to play golf from the forward tees. Women don’t have these problems. They rely on their GPS or ask for directions, and they always play from the ladies tees. But on a golf course, men have choices. There are always 3 and sometimes 4 or even 5 tee boxes from which to select. The “way-back” tees, usually the black … [Read more...]

The Bump and Run

February 23, 2017 by Jim Brewer

There is nothing more depressing for an average golfer than to be right beside the green in 2 and end up with a 6 or 7 on the scorecard - or sometimes even worse. The reason for all those shots is generally due to a lack of knowledge about how to make those close-in shots count. The short game, says Gretchen Scheuermann, Director of Golf and Head Pro at The Highlands Golf Park in Ruckersville, … [Read more...]

Tanyard Time

February 16, 2017 by Jim Brewer

The Greens at Tanyard Golf Course in Louisa has everything I look for in a golf course. The management is friendly and accommodating. It’s an inexpensive place to play, it’s challenging and plays quickly. Best of all, it’s just a plain, fun place to play golf. Even those guys and gals who can’t hit it a country mile can play medium and short irons to the greens on most par 4’s. Last Sunday … [Read more...]

Love That Zoysia

January 26, 2017 by Jim Brewer

Got to play my first round of golf in 2017 at Old Trail in Crozet. The course was a like a sponge after several days of rain, but the greens were firm – fast, even – and the fairways with all that Zoysia grass were a genuine pleasure to play. I am not a big divot taker – which is why I probably don’t score well – but on Zoysia, the ball sits up perfectly and you don’t have to take a big … [Read more...]
