Weeding…A Word for Your Day

Continued from page 9 al growth and self-leadership will flourish. How well we lead/influence others flows from how well we lead ourselves. I invite you to perform a weeding audit consistently. Like weeds in the yard, weeds in our self-leadership can show up and stage a takeover when we consistently neglect ourselves. Proactively be aware of who you are and how well you are leading self. Removing invasive or unnecessary elements creates space for new growth and keeps us leading forward. More information at www.janebishoplive.com.

According to the league website, beginning players new to golf are afforded optional basic golf instruction before everyone attends the AllPlayers MSGL Clinic. After the instructional golf clinic, players are encouraged to take that knowledge onto the golf course. In addition, all players, especially beginning golfers, are encouraged to practice ball striking skills between team play. During the 8-week season, the format for play is team competition best ball play including during one week “High School Day,” where high school team golfers are invited to play along with their cluster middle school teams, and a week of individual stroke play, where the most advanced players are invited to play in an invitational individual stroke 9-hole tournament. The season culminates for everyone with a Drive, Chip, and Putt competition, and the MSGL Awards Presentations. Players play from forward or junior tees based on ability.

“Each team has a volunteer team marshal who is responsible for team lineups and supervises the play on the course,” added Witmer. “Parents may walk with their players and caddy, or may rent a cart if available; and players may ride with them and have their bag of clubs in the cart; but again, parents must keep the carts on the cart path at all times.”

However, Witmer, who is also an assistant high school golf coach at Brookwood High School, emphasized that middle school players play from tees based on ability, and that players are encouraged to walk the nine holes and carry their clubs or have a pushcart.

“As a high school golf coach, we see it as a challenge for many junior players trying out the first time for high school golf and being required to play from tees farther back and walking 18 holes,” concluded Witmer. “We encourage our more advanced junior players to play and experience that in local junior golf tournaments!”

At the close of online registration, there will be a parent orientation either in person or via video conferencing.

Drive Carefully

Continued from page 8

4. Talk to your teen. Car crashes are one of the leading causes of death for teens in the United States, and more than one-quarter of fatal crashes involving teen drivers occur during the after-school hours of 3 to 7 p.m.

5. Come to a complete stop. Research shows that over one-third of drivers roll through stop signs in school zones or neighborhoods. Always come to a complete stop, checking carefully for children on sidewalks and in crosswalks before proceeding.

6. Watch for bicycles. Children on bicycles are often inexperienced, unsteady, and unpredictable. Slow down and allow at least three feet of passing distance between your vehicle and the bicycle. If your child rides a bicycle to school, require that he or she wears a properly fitted bicycle helmet on every ride.

7. Look for AAA School Safety Patrollers. More than 679,000 AAA School Safety Patrollers stand guard at over 35,000 schools nationwide. When you see one, a school zone is likely nearby.

“If parents and other driver’s follow these simple rules when driving in and around school zones, countless children can avoid injury and death,” says Townsend. “It’s up to us to help all drivers become more aware of the risks of driving around our schools.”
