The 31st Annual Par Three Championship At Blue Rock Golf Course
By Jan Martin

Every year the first weekend in November Blue Rock Golf Course hosts the ParThree Championship Golf Tournament. And every year many of the same golfers return traveling from Rhode Island ( this year 28 golfers ) and Western Massachusetts as well as a great representation from our local golf community. For many of these golfers it was great to get away to the crisp, cool fall climate of Cape Cod compared to the early winter scene at their homes. The weather was great this year, especially Sunday, with sunshine and the temperature in the fifties.

The format for this event is the better ball of two players with gross and net prizes. Prizes are distributed for both Saturday and Sunday’s rounds. The overall championship for both gross and net is the 36 hole total. There are two closest to the pin holes #1 and #10 both days, and an awards luncheon after Sunday’s round.

Walking the course, taking many photos, I realized the fun all these golfers were having. They are playing a course named “Top 10 par 3 Courses in the Game “ by Golf Magazine and recipient of The Golden Sprinkler Award from www.golfcapecod.com in 2010 and 2011.

Congratulations go to Saturday’s winners with a Gross 54 score of even par Robert

GNext to the putter,  wedges are the most efficient weapons to improve your short game. Golfers can reduce their handicaps significantly by choosing the correct wedge for their course conditions and by being custom fitted accordingly.

Choosing your wedges

It is estimated that 75% of shots during a round are played within 100 feet of the pin. As a consequence, over the past decade, wedges have become increasingly sophisticated, and dexterity with these instruments will certainly both lower your score and add to your enjoyment of the game.

Many golfers, including pros, now carry 2 to 4 wedges in their bag, yet what sets them apart is their mastery, through practice. The pros spend hours every day honing their skills with their wedges. ... Continue reading →
