Updates from the world of golf.
I appreciate all the readers that have read the Golf Course Review of Oxford Hills CC. in this blog. It is a nice place to play and I truly hope that you will play this course and all the others that we feature during the course of the 2011 golf season. This weekend weather permitting I will be at Brentwood C.C. located in Commerce Township and The Sanctuary located in Rochester Hills, Michigan. I have been at Brentwood C.C. in the past and it is a nice place to play. Sanctuary is a new place and I am looking forward to playing there.
Over the next few weeks, I will be working on feature stories on both players and golf matches of various prep golfers in Oakland County. I truly do not think much video coverage has been provided in the past using video feature stories beyond raw video as golf is a hard sport. Reasons include the matches taking place over three to four miles of terrain and unlike network tv, you must take a golf cart and shoot video golfers from the ground. Networks use 60+ cameras and shoot from towers and blimps and have hundreds of people that work on a telecast. Wish me luck. If you want your program featured for a feature story or a golfer whose story we should inform our readers and viewers of, we will do that. We can both print and post videos in this blog.
Do not forget that Paula Creamer from the LPGA Tour will be at Carl’s Golfland at 7pm on Monday, May 9th. You must sign up to attend this golf clinic. Call Carl’s for more information.
Bob Krause and I will be working on my golf game over the course of the 2011 season. Krause was featured by Paula Pache in our Oakland Press golf program earlier this month. Krause has plenty of credentials as he has worked with multiple media outlets and is very enthusiastic about helping golfers of various skill levels work on the efficiency in their golf games. I will have more information on this and a way to contact him. Our paper is setting up weekly golf lessons and tips and I would love to publish them in this blog and point you to how to contact him. Read both the online and daily paper to get the details.
Finally, Golf.Com’s World Amateur handicap championships are happening later this summer in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. For entry information, call them at 1-800-833-8798 or e-mail them at wahc@golfholiday.com. If you have a handicap, they will find a place for you.
Until next time,
Roy J. (Joe) Akers
