January in Iowa! Driving Range OPEN!

You really just have to LOVE Iowa!  Once again, the driving range will be open at Veenker.  This will be the 5th day (so far) in 2012 that the range has been open.  Balls will be avialable in the clubhouse from 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. 
As far as memory serves this is the 1st time in history that any portion of the course has been "officially" open in January!  Come on out and enjoy the day! George

Ages 9 - 90....The Best Game Ever!

So, let's just dive right in, or tee it up would be more appropriate!  Rather than try to start things out with a hole in one, let's just do some warm ups and try to keep it in the fairway or at least on the right course :)

Golf; you can't convince me that there is a better game.  Young and old, short or tall, any language, etc, etc....anyone can play this game and more than likely become addicted to it.   Some may say, golf is too time consuming or too expensive.  Seriously?  Isn't any hobby time consuming and expensive?  Golf is really not all that different from most other things that people do to recreate or get enjoyment out of.  Plus, the bonuses are incredible.  Being outdoors and getting the opportunity to experience beautiful pieces of land and so many types of nature, in all types of weather, while taking a walk (or a ride) and playing a game......what a wonderful way to spend a few hours.   You can play golf by yourself, with your friends, with your family, with your rivals, with your dog.....so many ways, plus it can be different each time.  I love this game!

Welcome one and all to the Veenker Blog.  I hope you will find some enjoyment from this sight.  Feel free to comment or give ideas for posts.  This will be an open forum where you will be able to find an eclectic range of information.  Some of the things I have planned are:  maintenance practices, future events and their results, golf tips, silly stories, historical tid bits, videos, trivia, links to other interesting golf sites and more, more, more. 

Thanks John for the idea for the innaugural post!
Fore,
George
