2008 Dave Marr Cup - A Great Success
It was once again a great honor to host The McDonald’s Dave Marr Cup. We wish to thank our honoree, Jeff Bagwell, for his time and charity. We want to thank the great staff from Ronald McDonald House for their hard work and for all the time and effort they put into the event. We would like to congratulate this year’s Dave Marr Cup Champions; the team of Blake Stoehr and Tim Studdert shot a 2 day total of 141 to win the Championship Flight. Blake and Tim will have their names engraved on the Dave Marr Cup trophy. Thanks once again to all the competitors, volunteers, and the River Ridge staff for making this year’s tournament such a success.

Customers rave about golfing at The River
Every hole from the tee box to the green is a portrait of what Texas golf should be.
David A. Dodson, Golfrave.com
From the time I arrived to the time I left River Ridge, I felt I was at a private club instead of a public course. The people were great. The course was idyllic. Can’t wait to go back.
Tom Stell, Houston, TX
Best public golf course facility in the Houston area.

Tips From the Pros:
Put the Driver Away
Are you having too many days where you just can’t get it into the fairway? Try a little simple math...140 to the green from the rough or 160 to the green from the fairway...hmmmm… Doesn’t seem to hard to figure out does it.
More...2 clubs can make a difference
So many players get wrapped up in the process of their swing that they forget two of the basic principles of a successful golf swing; alignment and ball position. Use two clubs to work on both on the range. Take two clubs and lay them on the ground in a “T”. You put your feet on either side of the vertical club, using the top of the “T” to align your feet and body. Using the vertical club, you can move the ball forward and back in your stance to find your natural, perfect ball position. This is a great aid to help you develop a swing that starts from a strong, fundamentally sound setup position.
Alignment
It’s amazing the number of golf swings that can be fixed with a club on the ground. The majority of amateurs do not realize that they are rarely aimed where they think they are.
