Dear friends of Queens

POH BROS GOLF SPONSORS SINGAPORE PGA EVENT
We are proud to announce our sponsorship of the Singapore PGA Vice-President's Cup to be held from 25 – 27 November 2008 at Tering Bay Golf & Country Club. We are expecting to see names like Mardan Mamat, Lam Chih Bing, Unho Park, M. Murugiah and our very own Poh Eng Wah vie for top spots.

In conjunction with the SPGA Vice-President's Cup (see above paragraph) PING has generously agreed to support us with prizes for our Pro-Am event which will precede the tournament proper on 25 November. A fun-filled, casual day on the course with the pros, playing a texas scamble format, will be something not to be missed.  Stand a chance to win the latest PING Rapture V2 driver and lots more prizes sponsored by Wingolf / PING.  Sign up now to avoid disappointment as flights are limited.

GOLF TIPS
This month, we take you to the tee-box where our pros discuss teeing ground options.  Read on for advice from our resident pro, Serene Poh.

On the Tee - Positioning your drive on a dogleg hole
There are 2 important factors to consider in placing the first shot on a dogleg fairway as shown in the picture:
1) the carry and total distance of your tee shot; and
2) alignment

In this picture, the green is behind the tall trees in the far left and there are bunkers strategically placed on both sides of the fairway immediately after the turn of the dogleg.

If you are confident of carrying your tee shot 170m over the left bunker, take aim at the position shown by the red line and you shall be rewarded with an almost hazard-free and short distance approach to the green. Take care, however, that the ball will not roll into the bunker on the farther side. If your tee shot averages 150m and is likely to reach the left bunker, aim to land the ball to its right (blue line). Aim further right, the shorter your distance tends to be, e.g less than 150m (orange line). Although you will end up being further from the green by aiming further to the right, you will have more room to negotiate around the trees on the left for your second shot.
