Pat & Bill’s Products you will LOVE!
The “must have” for all you “Die Hard” golfers that we love….Footjoy WinterSof Gloves. These are a must have in the cold and/ or rainy weather. You wear a glove on each hand; they come in a pair. What’s nice about these, is that they can be worn throughout your round, and are so thin and versatile, that they don’t have to be taken off to putt. Your hands stay warm and dry throughout the day, making your round of golf so much more fun!!
Swing into 2011 with Great Health
Did you eat the 7-13 servings of fruits and vegetables today that your body needs to protect your DNA, heighten your immune system, promote cardiovascular wellness and reduce oxidative stress to your body? I know I didn’t…and I really try! I am continuing to promote Juice Plus, because I believe in it. I believe that our bodies are temples, and we need to take the best possible care of ourselves that we can. My family, including brother, sister, nieces, nephews, and father, all take Juice Plus. The children know that they are taking their fruits and vegetables each and every day. Research shows that children and adults become more aware of maintaining good health, and make better nutritional choices, get sick less, have better oral health, heart health, reduces inflammation…the list goes on and on. Juice Plus is whole foods based nutrition, not a vitamin . It carries a nutrition label, containing 17 fruits, vegetables, and 2 grains. I hope that you will take the time to investigate this “for real” product. Check out my website at patmcclananshriverjuiceplus.com. Call me with any questions or to place your order. If you sign up, you will be able to sign up a child, (child, grandchild, niece, nephew, friend), for FREE for 3 years. It is hard to believe, but true. My son is on it for free for 3 years because I am on it. Congratulations to all of you who are taking it. Don’t stop. Take it every day for good health.
Did you know?
Did you know that the Belleview Biltmore Golf Club was built in 1925 by the famous golf course architect, Donald Ross, who designed some sites of the U.S.Open. We had a special guest, Ben Crenshaw, visit our golf course, and tour it with his then caddie, Linn Strickler, as part of his quest to visit all Donald Ross designed golf courses in the U.S.A feature of Donald Ross designed golf courses, is his desire to “fool your depth perception” by placing bunkers some 30 or more yards in front of the greens, to make it appear that the bunkers are greenside, when they really are not. The Belleview Biltmore has 66 bunkers in total on its 18 holes. It’s original name was The Pelican.
