Birdee Golf A lot of us go out in the backyard with a wedge and chip some balls around. A few of the more excitable among us can’t resist taking a full swing. A fine idea if you don’t have any neighbors or care much about your lawn. That is until BIRDEE GOLF launched onto the scene late last year being featured in the Best New Product Zone at this years National PGA Show in Orlando and being voted Best New Product in the most recent Minneapolis Golf Show by TwinCitiesGolf.com.

BIRDEE GOLF consists of 2 target nets (no assembly and sets up in seconds!) and 6-patented birdees (golf ball/shuttle combo) and a nylon-carrying bag for easy storage and portability. BIRDEE GOLF’S flexibility allows you to not only play a very exciting full swing golf game but also makes for a great limited flight training aid. The patented birdees hit and react just like a real golf ball allowing you to fine tune your accuracy on a variety of wedge shots at varying swing speeds and the one piece molded design won’t break apart like other models.

Whether on the beach, in the yard or tailgating BIRDEE GOLF allows you to have fun, work on your game and satisfy that urge to reach back and crush it! www.BirdeeGolf.com or visit their retail store in the Burnsville Center.

Follow Birdee Golf on Facebook (www.facebook.com/birdeegolf) and Twitter (@birdeegolfgame) for all the latest promos and events.

Birdee Golf has a variety of games at varying price points starting at $49.95.

Clifton Highlands’ Superintendent, Dr. Todd Hauschildt (Doctor of Turfology), is obsessed with maintaining perfect greens.

An 18 Hole Championship Golf Course Rated 4.5 Stars By Golf Digest

“Truly the best, say readers about the value at Clifton Highlands. Be on guard at the finish though, as you can’t see the flag after your tee shots on 17 and 18.”

'R \RX NQRZ RI D \RXQJVWHU ZKR ZRXOG EHQHÂżW IURP WUDLQLQJ LQ WKH HVVHQWLDOV RI FRPPLWPHQW The  Minnesota  Minority  Junior  Golf  Association  is  the  legacy  spurred  by  Tylerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  positive  LQWHJULW\ KDUG ZRUN DQG VRFLDO VNLOOV" 0LQQHVRWD 0LQRULW\ -XQLRU *ROI $VVRFLDWLRQ DQG 7KH experiences  as  a  caddy.  In  1987,  the  MMJGA  began  as  a  charitable  organization  designed  First  Tee  offer  all  this  and  more,  while  teaching  kids  the  great  game  of  golf. to  support  minority  junior  golf  and  create  opportunities  through  the  game.  In  1999,  the  organization  evolved  into  its  present  form  when  its  caddy  program  took  shape.

During  2012,  Tee  Times  Press  is  running  a  series  of  articles  focusing  on  the  many  organizations,  both  public  and  private,  that  support  the  growth  of  golf  in  Minnesota.  The  organizations  being  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  wanted  this  program  to  be  so  much  more  than  just  teaching  a  child  how  to  play  golf.  SURÂżOHG LQFOXGH WKH 3*$ ([SORUH 0LQQHVRWD 7RXULVP ([SORUH 0LQQHVRWD *ROI $OOLDQFH I  felt  MMJGA  should  be  about  life  lessons  on  issues  like  integrity,  discipline,  learning  Minnesota  Womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Golf  Association,  the  EWGA  and  the  Fairway  Foundation. responsibility,  earning  money,  and  the  value  of  hard  work.  Caddying  teaches  a  youngster  all  these  things,â&#x20AC;?  Tyler  said.

THE  MINNESOTA  MINORITY  JUNIOR  GOLF  ASSOCIATION One  of  the  best  ways  to  grow  the  game  of  golf  is  to  demonstrate  the  gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  gifts  to  a  youngster  at  an  early  age.  No  one  takes  this  idea  to  heart  more  than  F.  Clayton  Tyler.  This  Minneapolis  attorney  gained  so  much  from  his  years  caddying  at  Minneapolis  public  golf  courses,  that  he  took  it  upon  himself  to  develop  a  program  designed  to  instill  the  values  he  learned  from  his  childhood  golf  experiences.

LEARNING  FROM  A  LEGEND $W WKH DJH RI 7\OHU EHJDQ FDGG\LQJ IRU 6DQG\ 6WHSKHQV D 8QLYHUVLW\ RI 0LQQHVRWD $OO American  quarterback  and  a  player  on  the  Gophersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  national  championship  team.  Arising  at  6  a.m.  to  caddy  for  the  college  Hall  of  Famer  taught  Tyler  about  the  importance  of  commitment.   Also,  the  money  management  skills  that  became  necessary  with  newfound  caddy  income  ZHUH DQRWKHU RQ WKH MRE ZDNHXS FDOO &DGG\LQJ IRU 6WHSKHQV DQG WKH 0LQQHDSROLV EXVLQHVV people  Tyler  met  at  various  golf  courses,  proved  to  be  an  early  lesson  in  networking  to  which  Tyler  adheres  today. Â

CADDY  SUCCESS  STORIES Tyler  was  asked  if  there  were  spontaneous  offshoots  of  the  program  that  surprised  him.  Tyler  recalled  attending  a  scholarship  banquet  at  a  Minneapolis  church.  The  banquet  had  nothing  to  do  with  golf.  Much  to  Tylerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  delight,  an  impromptu  MMJGA  testimonial  came  out  of  QRZKHUH Âł,W WXUQHG RXW WKDW RQH RI WKH VFKRODUVKLS ZLQQHUV ZDV RQH RI WKH ÂżUVW NLGV WR JR through  our  program.  He  got  up  in  front  of  the  people  assembled  and  said  he  wanted  to  thank  me  and  our  Executive  Director  Jackie  Cherryholmes.  He  said  our  caddying  program  taught  him  so  much  about  perseverance  and  hard  work.  This  young  man  said  that  the  traits  he  OHDUQHG IURP RXU SURJUDP ZHUH KLV ÂżUVW VWHSV OHDGLQJ WR FROOHJH ´ 7\OHU UHFDOOHG One  of  MMJGA  favorite  success  stories  is  Sasha  Phillips,  a  program  grad  who  went  on  to  EHFRPH DQ (YDQV 6FKRODUVKLS ZLQQHU $V D \HDU ROG QHZFRPHU WR WKH FDGG\ SURJUDP Phillips  was  barely  big  enough  to  carry  a  golf  bag  18  holes.  In  2008,  Phillips  earned  a  Bachelor  in  Urban  Studies  from  the  U  of  M.  One  of  MMJGAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  shining  stars,  Phillips  regularly  comes  back  to  tell  her  personal  before  and  after  narrative  at  new  caddy  recruiting  events.  Tyler  revealed  that  one  of  the  best  dividends  of  the  MMJGA  caddy  program  is  how  it  impacts  SDUHQWV Âł:KHQ D FKLOG QHHGV WR JHW XS DW LQ WKH PRUQLQJ WR FDGG\ LW XVXDOO\ PHDQV WKH parents  are  involved,  too.  The  encouraging  nudge  that  a  parent  provides  helps  greatly  with  a  childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  overall  commitment.  There  are  positives  across  the  board  when  the  parent  becomes  involved  and  the  child  starts  earning  money  through  the  game  of  golf.  Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  had  many  parents  tell  us  about  the  difference  our  program  has  made  in  their  lives,â&#x20AC;?  Tyler  said.

THE  FIRST  TEE  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  LEARNING  ABOUT  LIFE  THROUGH  GOLF The  First  Tee  is  a  national  junior  program  with  local  ties  that  is  also  helping  youngsters  grow  through  golf.  According  to  First  Tee  of  St.  Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Executive  Director  Brian  Simpson,  golf  is  a  tremendous  vehicle  for  teaching  a  child  core  personal  values.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honesty  and  Integrity  are  the  keys  to  success.  Golf  LV D VSRUW ZLWK QR UHIHUHH <RX NHHS WUDFN RI \RXU RZQ VFRUH 6RPHWLPHV RQO\ \RX NQRZ LI WKH VFRUH MRWWHG GRZQ RQ \RXU FDUG LV WKH FRUUHFW RQH <RXÂśUH LQ charge  when  no  one  else  is  watching,â&#x20AC;?  Simpson  said. *ROI LV D VSRUW WKDW \RX FDQ SOD\ LQWR \RXU JROGHQ \HDUV :KHQ LV WKH EHVW WLPH WR OHDUQ JROI" Ask  any  pro  and  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  say  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  great  to  teach  someone  before  bad  habits  are  ingrained.  Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  interesting  is  that  the  key  strategies  consistently  practiced  by  the  best  golfers  apply  perfectly  to  success  in  life.  Check  out  First  Teeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Life  Skills  program  fundamentals  and  see  how  the  fundamentals  in  golf  and  life  parallel  each  other.

WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S  PAR  FOR  THE  COURSE  IN  YOUR  LIFE? In  addition  to  learning  the  proper  golf  grip,  stance,  and  short  game  skills,  youngsters  put  through  the  paces  of  First  Teeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Life  Skills  training  learn  the  essential  traits  to  prospering  in  life  and  business.

Respecting  the  rules,  meeting  and  greeting,  positively  stating  an  important  goal,  dealing  with  FKDOOHQJHV EXLOGLQJ D JR WR WHDP DSSUHFLDWLQJ GLYHUVLW\ DQG SODQQLQJ IRU WKH IXWXUH DUH MXVW some  of  the  skills  learned,  as  well  as  practiced,  by  First  Tee  participants.  The  next  important  VWHS LV IROORZLQJ WKURXJK RQ WKH SURJUDPÂśV SD\ LW IRUZDUG SKLORVRSK\ â&#x20AC;&#x153;As  a  youngster  nears  the  completion  of  our  program,  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  expected  to  give  back.  The  participant  is  given  the  opportunity  to  either  help  a  newcomer  to  our  program  or  volunteer  in  the  community.  This  is  a  wonderful  chance  for  those  whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  been  helped  to  help  others,â&#x20AC;?  Simpson  explained.

First  Tee  of  St.  Paul  will  work  with  1,000  youngsters  in  2012.  In  addition  to  St.  Paul,  there  are  four  other  Twin  Cities  locations  from  which  to  choose.  Simpson  noted  that  through  donations  and  grants,  St.  Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Highland  Park  Golf  Course  is  opening  a  new  kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  learning  center  on  their  golf  range.  Another  exciting  development  is  that  family  members  of  military  personnel  get  free  golf  and  life  lessons  through  First  Tee. Simpson  echoed  the  beliefs  of  MMJGAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Clayton  Tyler  when  he  shared  the  silver  lining  to  the  First  Tee  program.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  focused  on  breaking  down  barriers  and  creating  opportunities  for  kids.  Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  also  all  about  seeing  kids  achieve  their  dreams,â&#x20AC;?  Simpson  said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey Pro, Do you suggest static stretching before I play golf?

PRO:  Shocking  answer  but  the  research  says  NO!  Â

Many  top  athletes  and  trainers  argue  that  static  stretching  is  ineffective  and  potentially  unsafe.   If  you  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  believe  me  go  ahead  and  Google  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rickey  Fowler  golf  warm  upâ&#x20AC;?  and  you  will  find  Fowler  and  his  personal  trainer  warming  up  with  techniques  known  as  dynamic  warm  up.   As  you  watch,  think  of  these  warm  ups  as  stretching  your  muscles  by  moving  them,  not  the  traditional  static  stretching  that  is  proven  to  have  little  benefit  and  many  even  do  more  harm  than  good.   When  most  people  think  of  stretching  they  think  of  toe  touches,  quad  stretches,  and  other  techniques  that  isolate  an  individual  muscle  in  a  lengthened  position  for  10  seconds.   Golf  fitness  and  Titleist  research  shows  that  stretching  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  reduce  injury  risk  and  may  actually  hurt  performance,  holding  a  stretch  will  activate  a  protective  reflex  that  temporarily  weakens  muscles.   Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  get  me  wrong,  stretching  can  increase  flexibility  but  it  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  boost  muscular  efficiency.  Still  confusedâ&#x20AC;Ś  think  of  the  analogy  this  way,  when  you  just  stand  there  and  statically  stretch  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  kind  of  like  you  purchased  some  empty  land,  and  forgot  to  develop  any  real  estate.   Dynamic  warm  up  is  development  of  real  estate.  Â

Dynamic  stretching  accomplishes  two  main  jobs;  recruits  the  major  MRLQWV OLNH KLSV DQG VKRXOGHUV WR GRPLQDWH DQG DFWLYDWH EORRG Ă&#x20AC;RZ WR the  cold  muscles.   Examples  of  dynamic  stretching  would  be  arm  swings,  arm  circles,  leg  swings,  walking  lunges,  and  arms  crossed  IXOO VTXDWV :KDW WKHVH DIRUHPHQWLRQHG FUHDWH DUH ORQJ WHUP PRELOLW\ WKURXJK LQFUHDVHG Ă&#x20AC;H[LELOLW\ DQG VWUHQJWK 2Q D practical  note,  I  try  to  always  have  my  students  warm  up  in  a  dynamic  way;  in  my  opinion  I  think  dynamic  stretching  tricks  the  nervous  system  into  relaxing.    In  closing,  hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  tip  from  the  top:  never  force  cold  muscles  to  move  in  unnatural  ways.   If  you  DUH JHWWLQJ ROG DQG ORRVLQJ \RXU Ă&#x20AC;DW EHOO\ , recommend  that  as  a  warm  up,  all  you  have  to  GR LV MRJ VORZO\ IRU PLQXWHV WKHQ G\QDPLF VWUHWFK IRU PLQXWHV WKHUHÂśV \RXU QHZ warm  up!   Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  that  easy.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Swaneyâ&#x20AC;?  to  his  friends,  and  he  had  many  of  them!

By  R.J.  Smiley In  the  days  before  the  iPod,  if  you  listened  to  music  outside  you  had  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;ghetto  blasterâ&#x20AC;?  sometimes  referred  to  as  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;boom  boxâ&#x20AC;?.   Swaney,  whose  family  lived  on  Hastings  CC,  grew  up  on  the  golf  course.   From  an  early  age  he  eagerly  waited  to  play  a  few  holes  with  his  dad  after  supper.   He  spent  hours  on  the  putting  green  chipping  and  putting  and  learned  to  compete  beating  the  bigger  kids  out  of  nickels  and  dimes.

7KRXJK QRW D SXUH VZLQJHU KH EHFDPH VFUDSS\ JHW LW XS DQG IURP DQ\ZKHUH VFUDWFK player.   Once  you  got  to  know  Swaney,  you  loved  him;  he  always  had  big  smile  and  a  quick  wit  to  go  along  with  all  his  little  nervous  tics  and  twitches.   Swaney  loved  to  needle  his  opponent,  and  often  screamed  his  favorite  expression,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;God  I  love  that  power  fade!â&#x20AC;?  DIWHU KLWWLQJ WKH IDLUZD\ RQ D SUHVVXUH ÂżOOHG WHH VKRW %XW 6ZDQH\ KDG RQH ELJ SUREOHP KH JRW VR K\SHG XS DV WKH WHQVLRQ JUHZ LQ ELJ tournaments,  he  many  times  made  unforced  errors.   He  tried  alcohol  and  an  occasional  joint  to  keep  himself  calm.   He  was  always  looking  for  the  answer.

When  I  got  the  pairing  sheet  for  the  annual  Hildebrandt  Invitational  Tournament,  at  Hastings  Country  Club,  I  was  happy  to  see  that  I  was  playing  with  my  old  friend  Greg  6ZDQVRQ :KHQ , ÂżUVW VDZ 6ZDQH\ SUDFWLFLQJ KLV SRZHU IDGH RQ WKH UDQJH KH KDG D VHW of  earphones  on  his  head.   When  I  walked  over  to  shake  hands  and  say  hello,  he  jerked  the  HDUSKRQHV RII DQG VDLG Âł5 - , KDYH WKH DQVZHU &ODVVLFDO 0XVLF LW NHHSV PH FDOP 6HH I  even  have  two  young  caddies,  one  for  my  clubs  and  one  for  my  boom  box.â&#x20AC;?

When  the  starter  announced,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now  on  the  tee  from  Hastings  Country  Club,  Greg  Swanson,  play  away  please.â&#x20AC;?   Swaney,  dressed  in  new  white  FootJoys,  black  shorts  DQG D QHZ +DVWLQJV && ORJR VKLUW KH VWLOO ORRNHG VFUXII\ VRPH JX\V \RX MXVW FDQÂśW clean  up),  removed  his  earphones  and  teed  it  up  with  a  relaxed  look  on  his  face.   His  H[SUHVVLRQ LPPHGLDWHO\ FKDQJHG KH SRSSHG XS WKH SRZHU IDGH GLUHFWO\ WRZDUG WKH ODNH that  guards  the  right  side  of  the  fairway.   We  all  held  our  breath  as  the  ball  came  to  rest  on  a  point  of  land  that  jutted  into  the  lake.   Swaney  leaped  off  the  elevated  tee  and  took  off,  then  remembered  his  relaxing  boom  box.   With  earphones  on  and  a  caddie  on  each  side  Swaney  strolled  to  his  ball.   The  lie  was  okay,  but  Swaney  was  forced  to  play  his  bread  and  butter  shot,  the  power  fade,  around  a  big  tree  on  the  far  side  of  the  pond.   Swaney  and  his  club  caddie  were  standing  on  the  sliver  of  land  that  extended  into  the  pond.   The  relaxed  Swaney  said  to  his  young  caddie,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Son,  I  am  going  to  cut  this  one  right  around  that  big  tree.   So  watch  it  close,  IROORZ WKH EDOO Ă&#x20AC;LJKW ZLWK \RXU H\HV ´ 7KH H[FLWHG FDGGLH KDQGHG 6ZDQH\ KLV FOXE DQG placed  the  bag  on  his  shoulder,  ready  to  go.   The  â&#x20AC;&#x153;relaxedâ&#x20AC;?  Swaney  was  getting  nervous  and  twitchy.   He  took  two  big  practice  swings,  the  divots  landed  far  into  the  lake.   With  all  eyes  on  the  ball,  Swaney  made  perfect  contact,  his  ball  made  the  right  turn  around  the  tree  toward  the  green.   Then  we  heard  a  scream,  6ZDQH\ÂśV FDGGLH KDG IROORZHG WKH EDOO ZLWK KLV H\HV DQG DOVR KLV IHHW +LV ÂżUVW VWHS ZDV into  the  lake;  he  went  deeper  as  the  slippery  mud  bottom  sucked  him  in.

We  spent  the  next  ten  minutes  and  used  all  of  our  towels  cleaning  up  Swaneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  clubs,  bag  and  caddie.   And  bowed  our  heads  to  honor  the  end  of  Swaneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  boom  box!  Swaney  is  now  playing  the  big  golf  course  in  the  sky  and  God  is  watching  his  power  fade.   Every  member  of  Hastings  CC  has  a  Greg  Swanson  story,  he  left  his  mark!                     Â

June  2012

BRI  RADTKE Columbia  Golf  Club,  Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  the  funniest  thing  you  have  ever  seen  on  the  golf  course?   I  saw  a  guy  Minneapolis tee  off,  almost  whiff  and  the  ball  ended  up  somehow  hitting  his  ankle.   Looked  like  it  hurt,  but  pretty  funny.

Tell  us  what  you  do  during  the  golf  off-­ season.   Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  a  full  time  grad  student,  taking  classes  at  the  U  of  M  in  the  program  of  Physical  Therapy.

Why  did  you  decide  to  pursue  a  career  in  â&#x20AC;&#x153;beverage  distributionâ&#x20AC;?  at  your  golf  course?   I  really  enjoy  the  game  of  golf;  I  absolutely  love  the  outdoors  and  socializing  with  other  people;  there  is  no  better  job  in  the  summer  than  bev  cart!

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  the  best  tip  you  have  ever  received  from  a  golfer...monetarily  or  other?   I  sold  a  diet  coke  for  $2.50,  a  lady  gave  me  a  $20  bill  and  said  keep  the  change.   I  asked,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are  you  sure?â&#x20AC;?  and  she  insisted.

What  hobbies  do  you  have  away  from  the  golf  course?   Anything  outside  on  D EHDXWLIXO VXPPHU GD\ , ORYH WR UXQ ELNH VZLP ¿VK VXQ WDQ HWF DQG , HQMR\ just  hanging  out  with  my  friends.

What  is  your  favorite  drink?   Blended  strawberry  daiquiri.   Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  good  thing  we  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  blenders  on  the  cart  or  no  one  else  would  get  served.

Do  you  play  golf?   How  well?   Yes!  I  grew  up  with  it;  golf  is  a  part  of  my  family.   I  played  all  throughout  high  school  and  one  year  of  college.   Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  okay,  but  not  as  good  as  I  want  to  be.   Story  of  a  golfers  life.

When  your  â&#x20AC;&#x153;careerâ&#x20AC;?  as  a  beverage  cart  girl  is  over  what  are  your  goals  in  life?   Well,  I  hope  to  graduate  in  2  years  with  a  Doctorate  of  Physical  Therapy;  ideally  I  would  love  to  work  in  a  sports  therapy  clinic,  rehabilitating  athletes.
