Letter From David

Dear Golf Fans,

I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4^th of July weekend. I’m back at home after playing the last four tournaments. In addition to enjoying the relaxation, I am excited today because I get to announce a partnership with Drake Waterfowl.

As everyone probably knows, outside of golf my two passions are LSU sports and duck hunting. Being affiliated with Drake Waterfowl is very special because they are a great company, led by great people and produce by far the best products on the market.

No one who considers themselves a duck hunter could or would argue that Drake Waterfowl doesn’t have the best gear. The quality and innovation is second to none. As you can see, I can talk about this forever. With some seasons opening in a few months, I encourage you to visit www.drakewaterfowl.com to see everything they have to offer.

In my next tournament, the Greenbriar Classic, I will have the Drake Waterfowl logo on my golf bag and I can’t wait for all the hunting talk that the logo will trigger.  

Another bit of good news is that the University Club, LSU’s golf course that Jim Lipe and I recently redesigned, was just selected as a host for the NCAA Regionals in 2013. The course is scheduled to re-open in mid-September and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Jim and I set out to upgrade the course to a level that could host prestigious events, and we are happy to have accomplished that.

Enjoy the rest of the summer.

Tip of the Week

The most important part of hitting a sand shot is to use the sand and not the club head to get the ball in the air. You can practice this without a ball by trying to splash sand at your target. Make sure your divots are the same and not erratic.
