Pretty impressive, not impressive? My Golf swing...even so, Todd Lee came to my rescue, this week, On the Green. Lauren Shehadi: We're golfing with the pro today at the Minot Country Club, welcome Todd Lee, thank you for golfing with me, I am nervous because you're putting me to the test. Todd Lee: Why would you be nervous? Lauren: Because I am golfing with you and I'm not very good. Hole 7, this is your signature hole. Todd: This is a 200 yard par three, with pine trees lining both sides of the fairway. it has a hazard on the left hand side and definitely if you can make a three here, you'll be sitting pretty. Lauren: If anyone can, it's you...I think I pulled the short straw with this bag situation. When do I get my name on my bag like yours? Todd: Later today. Lauren: Todd, this course looks beautiful, a lot of upkeep. I'm sure, did it come through the winter ok? Todd: Actually, it really didn't. With no snow this winter, and being as cold as it's been, it was probably in as tough a shape as I have seen it, but Bruce and the guys did a remarkable job getting it back together and it's really nice right now and with the little bit of rain we have had, it makes all the difference in the world. A little chip shot here, what we want to do is we just want to get it onto the green and let it roll the rest of the way so we're not trying to pop it way up in the air.. get a little bit closer and the hands are low, there you go. Todd: I think this is pretty straight, it might go a little bit to the right, a little downhill, the greens look pretty fast and smooth. I got the good read from you! Lauren: Now, it's my turn...this is for par, that was for birdie, obviously. Todd, thank you for being my caddy, On the Green at the Minot Country Club with Todd Lee, I'm Lauren Shehadi, until next time.  « Less
