 | | There are a lot of great things happening with the junior golf program this year. We are off to a great start with the inaugural season of PGA Junior League and monthly clinics. We also have our annual Junior Golf Camps coming up, starting June 26th.
As a team, we are really proud of the participation we are seeing in all of these programs. We strive to draw more kids into the game and develop them into not only avid golfers, but great young men and women. Spots are still available in our July and August golf camps, but they will fill up quickly.
Don’t miss out on a great opportunity to introduce your child to the game of a lifetime.
|
A vast number of junior golfers are also partaking in junior lessons with all the Golf Professionals. We are going to have a great summer here, so if your child is interested in taking up golf or continuing to grow and improve, we have a program here for them!
Call the Golf shop to sign up or stop by the Golf Shop to learn more!
Ladies Play Day
| | This past Wednesday, we only had 4 ladies come out and play so I awarded everyone who participated play day points!
Let’s see if we can get those numbers up for this Wednesday. In the spirit of everything new here at the Golf Shop (new shop, new merchandise and new staff), we will be doing a new format as well. The format will be Putt-Less, which is exactly how it sounds. You will play your round and then subtract your total putts from on the green to get your total score.
Please call the Golf Shop or register online to sign-up. |
Thursday Ladies Golf Clinics
| | This coming Thursday, May 17th, we will be holding another Thursday Ladies Clinic at 10:00 AM.
We’ve had great participation these past few weeks, and its great getting feedback on the clinics and seeing these ladies get out on the course and play. The more ladies we can bring into our program and get out on the course, the better.
This week we will be talking about what happens after you hit a tee shot. We will practice hitting fairway woods and hybrids as well as irons.
To reserve a spot, please sign up online or call the Golf Professional Shop. |
Ladies Lake League
| | Ladies Lake League second event is scheduled for Wednesday May 30th at Statesville Country Club. If you wish to play, please mark the date down and register online.
We would also like to congratulate Regina Watts, Freida Riley and Naomi McCracken for their stellar play at River Run. Regina Watts finished 2nd Gross in the 1st Flight, Freida Riley finished 1st in the 4th flight and Naomi McCracken finished 1st Net in the 8th flight.
Great playing ladies and hopefully we will get another strong performance this month as well! |
*Ladies Lake League Shirts have arrived. Stop by the Golf Shop to pick up your official Lake League shirt so we can represent the club at the next event!
| | |  | | | | | 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.
