THANK YOU to all members who showed up for the Annual Meeting and thank you to all stockholders who returned their proxi’s to us.   I want to welcome our 2 new Board members
Heather Shouldice and Jeff Wallin and congratulate Dick Lafave on his re-election to the Board.  Looking forward to this year and
working closely with all Board members on trying to improve Neshobe Golf Club and continue to make it the best club in Vermont and New England.

Lots of bright colors this year, not just in clothes but also equipment.   If you need anything don’t hesitate to ask Karla or me for whatever you need.   We have accounts with most companies. If you are looking to host a party or any type of function, the clubhouse is open for business, birthdays, weddings, showers, give us a call to book your event. 

The Board of Directors has approved a new 2013 Membership for people who were not members of Neshobe in 2012.  For $500. plus tax you can join for the 2013 season.  Please call the Pro shop @ 802.247.3611 for more details. This is a great deal for anyone wanting to play our great 18 holes.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Keep it simple! PGA—Posture, Grip, Aim

My lessons cover grip, swing mechanics, woods, irons, short game and course management. I encourage each student to play their own game and to stay within their limits. Clubs are provided for lessons, if necessary. Club Fitting and Club Repair is also available at the Pro Shop.

TIP OF THE MONTH:
When on the putting green after you have determined your line, focus on the target and nothing else.  Do your routine, step up, focus on hole and hit the putt!
