We loved the response!We had such an amazing response to last week’s Couple’s Camp, thank you to everyone who got in touch.

So many of you loved the idea of a Couple’s Camp on Valentine’s Day that we’ve now opened an additional Couple’s Camp, plus a brand new one-day Golf Camp for anyone who wants to improve their game, have some fun, and meet new people.

It’s great to see so many golfers keen to get involved and make the most of the season.

And while we’re at it, we’d love to hear from you. If there are any other types of events or programs you’d like to see over the next few months, let us know. This is your season too, so help us shape it!

• Fridays | February 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th
• 12:30 to 1:45pm | $100 (4-week program)Brush the TurfWhat if four practice sessions could save you shots in every round through spring and summer?

The leading edge of a wedge loses many golfers several shots a round. On chip shots it either digs into the turf before the ball or rises too early and the ball is thinned through the green. The sole of the wedge is not “kissing” or brushing the turf. Practice hitting chip shots with a one-handed grip on the club. Using just your trail hand (right hand for right-handers), choke down the grip. Take some practice strokes. Notice how little the butt of the club moves. Can you feel how much the club head moves? Hit balls one-handed like that. Limit the butt-end movement and allow the club head to swing through. Concentrate on the feeling of your hand action, the club head movement, and the way that the sole brushes the turf. Now put both hands on the club and work to repeat the feeling. Make the game easierMake this practice drill part of a regular session that you complete each week. Get this right, and the game becomes much easier around the green. Please send me any questions or queries regarding your practice.

I have a queryWhat if you could be
10 shots better?Does your short game
hold the key to that?
The difference between good enough and great can often be found in the final 40 yards. How would you score in these five challenges?

I was born on 6 August 1956 in San Francisco, California to Janet and (the late) Richard Hovis. I grew up in Santa Monica, California where I attended elementary, junior high school, and high school (graduating in 1974), in addition to involvement in sports and recreation (Little League +, the Boy’s Club ++). Further, it was in elementary school – St. Augustine’s By-the -Sea Parish School that I found, and made the choice to truly journey with God. I attended Arizona State University from 1974 to 1977 – seeking to become an architect, however, I was not accepted, and, as such, I graduated with a Liberal Arts degree. Upon graduation from Arizona State University, I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and studied City and Regional Planning at the Master’s level. I successfully completed one (1) year in a two (2) year program – I did not complete the Master’s degree in City and Regional Planning – due to personal reasons. I returned to Santa Monica where I started (October 1979) my career as graphic designer with Exxon Company, USA. I spent five years with Exxon Company, USA. While working with Exxon Company, USA I was accepted into architectural school – Sci-Arc in Southern California, however, I did not attend preferring to stay with Exxon.. In 1982 I married Laura Flosi and in April 1983 we had our one and only child – Lauren Alain Hovis – a gift from God. We moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1984 from Los Angeles, where I went to work as a graphic designer with Kitchell CEM (from 1985 -1987). From 1987 – 1995 I was an independent contractor, and a registered representative in mortgage finance, financial management, graphic design, and drafting. Further, I attended the University of Phoenix and successfully obtained a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) in 1982. I was also a member of the Scottsdale Jaycees, where I became very involved in community events and projects. In 1994, I accepted a cartography position with the Defense Mapping Agency in Reston, Virginia. As such, I relocated from Phoenix to Reston. In 1998, I was accepted and worked as a Visual Information Officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. In 2002, I worked as a Support Officer until my retirement (due to a need for shoulder surgery) in September 2018. Away from my Federal Government service, I have been involved in various organizations and activities in Northern Virginia. In November of 2011, I married Rebecca Ouellette in Santa Monica, California. I reside in San Tan Valley, AZ with my two hamster - Jess and Timothy, our fish, our lizard - RJ Lizard., and our cats - Pearl and Grey. As to hobbies, I enjoy playing sports, attending sporting events, mentoring individuals from financial management to hamsters, building models, photography, travel, multimedia design, managing partner for RJ Hamster, and jazz – smooth jazz to a samba or a bossa nova. Love and God Bless, Peter – aka RJ Hamster Jo hi
