Golf season wrapping up, ownership changes coming

Posted

The Sullivan County Golf league season is nearing an end with playoff modes wrapping up the 2022 season. 

The Thursday Men’s league at Tennanah Lake has entered their playoff schedule along with the Tuesday Men’s league at Tarry Brae. Management has confirmed that the golf facility has been sold and that final details would be available sometime in early October.

Leagues at the Liberty Sullivan County Golf & Country Club are also entering the playoff mode. Future operations at this golf course were not available at presstime. 

Not many conversations were available on the many rumors on golf courses that are waiting to be sold and what golfing facilities were in the process of having new owners for the 2023 season.   

The only verbal confirmation we have is that the Swan Lake Golf Course has been sold. No other details are currently available.

In viewing the Sullivan County golf community for the 2023 season it is positively known that the Town of Fallsburg Lochmor Golf Course and the Tarry Brae golf course will be open next year, the Tennanah Lake Golf Course will be open with new owners, the new owner-management is said to become a reality at the Villa Roma golf facilities and ownership of the Sullivan County Golf & Country Club in Liberty did not get back to us with their plans for 2023. 

It sure looks like there will be ownership changes for the golf season in 2023 in Sullivan County.

Golf Tip

   By Robert Menges

Golfers should always prepare their mind for a better game.

We all have different ways of doing things on the golf course, which is why one technique or strategy might work for one person but not another.

For example, some of us will visualize the shot we want to hit in our mind, because it helps us execute the shot. For others, they must experience the shot.

With that said (or written in this case) it never hurts to try something new.

We like these “pep talks” so here are some you can create to help build your confidence for the next round. 

After each round of golf, take 60 seconds to sit quietly and replay three best shots of the round. Visualize them in slow motion and lock every detail into your memory. They’ll come back to cheer you on in the future. Tell someone about your best shot of the day, but never talk about your worst shots.

Professionals can usually remember every shot during a tournament, but there is one shot they “just don’t recall. It’s their worst shot. Let the bad shots go, and never ever talk about them.

After every shot, remember to say, “good shot” and mean it when you say it. The results may not be exactly what you wanted, but the ball went where you hit it. So go do it again. 

Breathe before every shot or putt, remember to breathe deeply and softly. It will relax your body and allow you to focus on the task at hand.

Make it a part of your pre-shot routine to consciously expect a great shot. As you pull the club from your bag, smile. As you look down the fairway or line up your putt, smile. Expect the best.

Next week we switch to Bowling Highlights for the fall, winter and early spring months. Our bowling column will be covering Sullivan County bowlers and bowling action at Port Jervis Lanes, Hancock Lanes and Quinnz Pinz Bowling in Middletown.
