Keeping with the theme of getting out of the rough, Ryan covers a shot to use around the greens, when the ball is sitting down in the rough. Watch the video below...




Have you been spending hours on the range, but not showing any improvement?
Or maybe you’re looking to change your club but don’t know where to start?
Whatever you may be struggling with, we have just the thing that could be the solution to all your golfing problems…

This coming week we have two fittings days with two of the best club manufacturers in the game.
Both Callaway and PXG pour a great deal of time, effort and money into researching and developing ways
to make the best golf clubs possible.

This week you have the chance to try both of them out.
See below for details on dates and times.

We strongly suggest setting up a fitting appointment
so you are certain to have the help of a
CCL Golf Professional or a representative from one of these companies.


Wednesday, May 23rd from 2:00 to 6:00pm PXG will be here!

Season Long - Qualifier deadline on May 21st

This is our second year for the Dunning Cup, our Gross Match Play (no handicap) bracket event that will be played throughout the year. In order to participate in this event, players will need to play a qualifying round from the blue tees between now and May 21st. In order to count as a qualifying round, the player must tell the Golf Shop prior to the start of the round and must have another member sign the scorecard.

The player with the lowest score will earn the #2 seed as our 2017 champion, Nate Wright, will have the #1 seed. The rest of the players will be seeded based on their qualifying score through the top 16 seeds. The field will then be split into pods of four players and each player will be guaranteed three matches. The player from each pod with the best record will move on to compete for the semi-finals. All matches will be played with no handicaps and will be played from the blue tees.

This month we will get started with the Memorial Day Couples and we will go with one of the favorite formats of Alternate Shot Scramble with four couples (8 players) in each group. This means that the 8 players will all play as one team. All 4 ladies will hit a shot and then choose the ball in the best position. From there all 4 men will hit a shot and the team will continue in this format until the ball is holed.

To sign up for this event you can go to ForeTees. You can sign up as a couple and we can pair you with other couples or if you have a full team you can sign up the full team. ForeTees does not allow 8 players to sign up on one team so please sign up one person from each couple in the foursome and we will assume that the other part of the couple is playing. We look forward to a great crowd for our first big couples event of the year. Sign up is already available, so get to ForeTees quickly to put your team in.

The cost per couple is $55 and this includes, golf, dinner after golf and a chance at prizes!

In the battle to convince golfers shooting 95 and over that they’re “good enough” for a customer fitting,
can I present you with a question to reflect on?
 
 
Would golfers in the learning phase of the game; the beginners; find it easier to learn the golf swing,
getting more shots airborne, find it easier with lighter clubs, with shorter shafts; and higher lofts?
Of course they would, it’s a faster learning experience.
 
 
The value of a faster learning experience, is a point that translates to golfers shooting over 95.

If a custom fitting creates 10 – 15 yards with your Irons, and more consistency of shot performance,
why wouldn’t you have a custom fitting?
Who cares whether we changed a lie angle, gave you a less stiff shaft, or even enlarged your grip?

 
You want the benefit. A better ball flight, more often. A more fulfilling round of golf.
A better on-course experience. More enjoyment with your friends.

 
Almost every golfer we custom fit for a set of Irons notes at least one dimension of measurable improvement.
Those with higher handicaps and the less skilled often see two, or even three,
dimensions of measurable improvement, IMMEDIATELY.
What could your improvement be?

 
 

 
 
When you’re practicing short shots, pay close attention to ball flight, carry, roll etc., especially when you change ball position, setup or club. Practice is a great chance to learn about your game. It’s knowledge you take to the course.
 
 

If I asked you what distance, the run-out on a 5 yard chip shot would be with your 48° Wedge;
would you know the answer?
How does that change if you play the shot to the same landing, but with a 52° Wedge?
Practice so you develop this knowledge.

Practice is about more than perfecting your technique. It makes you a better golfer

because your understanding of what the golf ball will do, should improve.

 
 
In the practice session above, you’ve set up tees at 4 yards, 5 yards & 6 yards from your chipping point,
with imaginary lines (between the tees at each distance). Take your 60° Wedge,
and attempt to chip the ball so that it will land between the 4 and 5 yards (watch the roll-out).
Then with the same club, between 5 and 6 yards (watch the roll-out).
Then just past the 6 yards line (watch the roll-out).
Now take your 56° and perform the same challenge (watching the roll-out).
Do this all the way up to your #8 Iron.

 

Challenge yourself in your practice. And learn at the same time.
Next time you’re on the course, put that knowledge to good use.
If you have a question about this skills challenge,
