The Golf Academy's very own Marjorie Jones was recently interviewed and featured on the Gotham Golf Blog. Marge instructed founder/writer Ralph Perez on the use of FlightScope and sat down for an interview on her own background and her take on the game of golf.
Excerpted from Gotham Golf Blog: "If there are any female readers out there who are interested in pursuing
a Professional Golf career, whether it be teaching or playing, I
suggest you give Marjorie a call. I could not think of a better mentor.
At the same time if you are a female or beginning golfer who might be
intimidated by the game, I would also recommend Marjorie. As you will
see, her goals are to make the learning experience as enjoyable as
possible."
To book a lesson with Marge and/or try a FlightScope session, call the Golf Academy at 212.336.6444.
The Golf Club would like to congratulate Willy Chang on winning the Chelsea Cup for the month of July! By shooting a 45 on the back nine of St. Andrew's on our virtual simulator, he has won a complimentary round at Van Cortlandt Golf Course!
This is the second win in a row and third of the year for Mr. Chang. He previously won the tournament during the months of April and June and now holds second place in the Player of the Year standings. At the end of the year, the Player of the Year will receive two round trip tickets on Jet Blue valid anywhere in the US!
The Chelsea Cup runs year-round and features a different course each month (August is the Bridgestone Invitational). Competitors, join us to play nine holes on the simulators at your leisure throughout the month and compare your scores to those who have already played! Each monthly winner receives a prize and every competitor earns points towards their Player of the Year score simply for playing. For more information and to put yourself in the hunt to win, please contact the Golf Club at 212-336-6400.
"Want to look better in a bathing suit? Use your (pool) noodle. Turns
out, the ubiquitous foam toy (you've probably had backyard "sword"
fights with one!) is also an ultra-effective tone-up tool," writes Holly St. Lifer in her most recent article in Self magazine. Titled "Slim in a Splash," the article features a workout created by Personal Trainer Mike Nicholson exclusively for Self utilizing the pool and a noodle.
With the variety of noodle moves featured, you'll look like a
synchronized swimmer but feel like a hardcore athlete. The exercises
will work your abs, obliques, legs, hips, arms, chest and butt, giving
you a full-body workout perfect for the sizzling days of summer.
