The Seven Oaks Book Club
The Seven Oaks Book Club meets each month to discuss books on a reading list which is created by mutual consent of the Book Club members. All members of SOCC are invited to attend. Our selection for August is... Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall
Beth and her gentle, kind husband Frank are happily married, but their relationship relies on the past staying buried. But when Beth’s brother-in-law shoots a dog going after their sheep, Beth doesn’t realize that the gunshot will alter the course of their lives. For the dog belonged to none other than Gabriel Wolfe, the man Beth loved as a teenager - the man who broke her heart years ago. Gabriel has returned to the village with his young son Leo, a boy who reminds Beth very much of her own son, who died in a tragic accident. As Beth is pulled back into Gabriel’s life, tensions around the village rise and dangerous secrets and jealousies from the past resurface, this time with deadly consequences. Beth is forced to make a choice between the woman she once was, and the woman she has become. A sweeping love story with the pace and twists of a thriller, Broken Country is a novel of simmering passion, impossible choices, and explosive consequences that toggles between the past and present to explore the far-reaching legacy of first love..
Our next meeting is Wednesday, August 27 th at 11:30am. Please email Shannon Ericsson at jshannonericsson@bak.rr.com to receive information on joining the meeting.

AUGUST 2025
“The One-Club Chipping Rule” Want to lower your scores without hours of practice?
Simplify your short game with this go-to rule: Use One Club Around the Greens! Pick one reliable club (like a pitching wedge or 9-iron) and use it for most of your chip shots. This builds feel, consistency, and confidence. Here's How to Do It: • Ball Position: Slightly back in your stance • Weight: Favor your front foot (about 70%) • Hands: Keep them ahead of the ball • Motion: Use a putting-style stroke - minimal wrist hinge, quiet hands By limiting variables, you’ll start to groove a repeatable motion and get more up-and-downs. Try It This Week: Spend 10 minutes before your round using just one club for all chips. Learn how the ball reacts with different swing lengths and lies.

ACE OF THE MONTH:
Good Luck Landon! In two weeks, our summer intern, Landon Simpson, is finishing his internship with Seven Oaks and has spent the summer getting to know the members. We’ve appreciated the work and help he’s put in around the shop and out on the course, and wish him all the best!
