It's Golf Season! Finally!
That means it's time for the always popular Tony's Clubhouse Demo Days.
We quickly discovered that offering this for just one day just wasn't enough so in answer to your requests we're expanding it to two days.
I hope you'll have a chance to visit me and my good friends from Golfworks Canada on Friday, June 12 from 5 -8 pm &
Saturday, June 13 from 10 - 3 pm
at Liftlock Golf Club in Peterborough.
(Pssst... everyone who drops by will have a chance to enter a draw to win some fabulous prizes.)
And for the first time ever - we're hosting a special "ladies hour" from 10-11 am on Saturday, giving our female golfers an opportunity to try out specially designed clubs and get tips from our on-site experts.
I look forward to seeing you there ..... Tony

Former PGCC Star Wins OPGA Event
On a day where the field scoring average was just over 78, former Peterborough Golf and Country Club memeber Reggie Millage stuck to his game plan and won his first Ontario PGA Spring Championship. Reggie's round of 2-over-par was enough to secure a playoff with Danny King, who finished at even par for the day and the tournament.
On the first hole of the playoff Reggie hit his tee shot on 18 into the left rough. King hit a solid drive down the centre of the fairway. Millage's second shot which was over 200 yards from the green stayed under the tree line and ended up just short of the green. From an uphill lie King hit his second shot into the left greenside bunker. From the bunker, King hit his third to four feet. Millage hit his third shot to two feet and made his putt while King missed his.
"It was a grind today, but I knew par would be a good score," said Millage. "This is my first win on the Ontario PGA regular tour and winning against this caliber field feels great."
Millage is a former guest of On the Links Radio and we congratulate him on his victory.

2 for 2 For Alex
8 year old Alex Pineo has done it again. The Lakefield resident and St. Paul's student won his divison again this weekend at a CJGA event. Playing at the Rolling Hills Golf Club, Alex
shot a 3 over par 34 despite a double bogey on the first hole and won by two
strokes. He also won the Lexus closest to the pin competition but unfortunately for Alex's dad Rob the prize was not a Lexus ! Last week Alex won the first event of the season with a win in Oakville. Both tournaments were qualifying events for the 2009 World Junior Golf Championships in San Diego in July. With back to back wins Alex is all but a lock to earn a spot west later this summer.

8 year old Alex Pineo gave his mom a mother's day present she'll never forget. The youngster from Lakefield won the first event of the Canadian Junior Golf Season yesterday at Oakville Executive Golf Club.
Despite extremely cold and windy conditions Alex shot a four over par and won by one stroke over a field of 19 junior golfers from across Ontario.
This tournament was also a qualifying tournament for the 2009 World Junior Golf Championships in San Diego in July.

Alex has been golfing since he was 3.
Tony's Clubhouse
So you’ve had lessons, play golf several times a week, and you still can’t figure out why your game hasn’t improved. You may have even bought a new set of clubs because you were so frustrated, but you are still hooking and slicing every shot. So what could the problem be? Are you just destined to be a bogey golfer for the rest of your life?
Tony Porter may have the answer.
He is the owner and operator of Tony’s Clubhouse in Peterborough, Ontario. Open for a 4th golf season, Porter has provided many golfers in the area with the answers to their golf games.
“Some people go out and spend thousands of dollars on new clubs, but they neglect to spend the time and get them fitted properly. It can make all the difference,” said Porter.
Porter offers many products and services including; golf equipment repairs, re-gripping, re-shafting, club fittings and new golf equipment sales.
“There are so many people that don’t have the right clubs. We all have different swings, the consistent thing should be the club. It makes a big difference,” stressed Porter.
A graduate of the golf repair and fitting program at Golf Works Canada, Porter likes to work with clients on an individual basis. He runs his business by appointment only, and takes the time to get to know each golfer’s swing.
“I like to meet up with clients out at a local driving range or course, have them hit some balls, and I critique their swing. It’s amazing how a few simple adjustments can improve someone’s game.”
Re-gripping costs range from five to twenty dollars.
Porter plans on being at this year’s Peterborough Home Show, and is having two demonstration days, tentatively at Liftlock Golf Club on June 5th and 6th.
“We bring in clubs, let golfers hit a few balls and try new clubs out with various shafts and grips. Most people end up walking away with a new club.”
Porter has been an avid golfer for 15 years and enjoys golfing in the Peterborough Area. You can find him roaming the fairways of his favourite course, Six Foot Bay, or at his other job at Trent University. He also plans on playing a few of the events for the On The Links Tour. So don’t hesitate to introduce yourself and talk about your golf game if you see him at one of the events.
Tony’s Clubhouse is an official sponsor of the On The Links Tour.
Call (705) 761-3836 to book your appointment and improve your swing today!

Tiger Flashback
As you watch today's coverage of the Players Championship there's no doubt with Tiger in the hunt they will flashback to one of Tiger's greatest putts of all time. It was back in 2001 and it was a crazy double breaker that turned out "Better Than Most". Enjoy the action today and look for Tiger to overcome the 5 shot deficit by the turn and win by two shots. Happy Mother's Day as well to all the Moms out there !!

AUR, "Going Green" for 2009 Spring Clothing Line
AUR, formerly Aureus and Aurea, are “going green” for their spring 2009 clothing collection. They have added a fourth product collection that focuses on renewable resources; Aware. Aware’s environmentally friendly focus on new fabric technologies provides golfers with an earthy alternative, without sacrificing fashion. The line features apparel that is made from recycled polyester (EcoSmartT), cotton/bamboo blends (EcottonT), and nanoben fabric technology.
EcoSmart , available for men and women, is a fabric made from Recycled Polyester Yarn. Recycled polyester yarn is made from plastic post-consumer based products. The benefits of EcoSmartT are moisture management, anti-odor, fast drying, added UV protection, easy care and environmentally responsible. It reduces fossil-fuel consumption and greenhouse gases when compared to regular Polyester fabrication.
E-CottonT by AUR, also available for men and women, is a Cotton/Bamboo fabric made by combining bamboo-derived fibers (bamboo is basically pounded until it becomes threads of fiber) and cotton. The benefits of E-CottonTby AUR are a luxurious hand feel that's softer than the softest cotton, anti-odor, easy care, hypo allergenic, thermal regulating, naturally four times more absorbent than cotton, breathable, anti-bacterial and environmentally responsible. It is environmentally friendly because it is made with a Bamboo component, which is one of the world's most sustainable resources.
Nanobon®, available for men only, consists of carbonized bamboo particles that are combined with a polyester yarn and knit into a garment. The benefits of Nanobon® are moisture management, anti-odor, fast drying, added UV protection and environmentally responsible since renewable carbonized bamboo, instead of a chemical finish, was used to attain these benefits.
"AUR is dedicated to improving every golfer's performance and enjoyment of the game by designing and crafting clothing that makes golfers look, feel and perform their best regardless of their skill level," says Mark Fletcher, President Fletcher Leisure Group Inc. "Times change, people evolve and yet philosophies persevere. Our philosophy for this authentic golf brand is and will continue to be that of providing the most aspiring golf fashion on the market."
Montreal-based Fletcher Leisure Group Inc., is the largest privately owned supplier of high-quality golfwear, lifestyle apparel and golf equipment in Canada, as well as snow sportswear. Fletcher, with 42 years of golf-industry experience, is expanding very quickly to international markets. In addition to North America, it is present in the UK, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Fletcher Leisure Group Inc. is the largest supplier of golf apparel to the Canadian golf market through its own Sunice®, Aureus & Aurea, AUR, and Storm Pack sportswear brands, and also distributes the top industry brands of Callaway Golf Apparel, Ashworth, and Adams Golf equipment.
