This weekend I see many Dads that are going to be out playing with their children and it makes me so happy. As I grew up playing golf I spent a majority of my weekends playing golf with my Mom and Dad. It was always a great treat for me to get to join my Dad’s group on Saturday and feel like I was one of the guys. Now I have children of my own and the time on the course with them is something I cherish so much.

In today’s world of phones and iPads, it is an amazing thing to get my children out for some time away from all that. I have included a photo from last year’s Parent/Child below. My daughter (Lily) and I have been doing it for three years and last year was my son’s (Graeme) first opportunity to play. He was so excited! I have also included several other photos of our CCL Dads with their juniors!

I hope on Sunday you take the time to thank your Dad for all the great things he has done for you and if you are a father I hope you get to spend it doing what you love!


Father’s Day Golf Shop Ideas: Do you know what you are getting for your dad/husband? The Golf Shop has plenty of great gift ideas and remember we match any price in town! Not only do we match the prices, but for the over 130 members that got on Eagle Club this year you actually receive a discount off of those low prices!

So when you are thinking of what to get, come by the Golf Shop and see what we can help you with. As always, my family, my Assistant Professionals and I have great interest in helping you get the right thing, and appreciate the continued support from year to year!

**Eagle Club discount is 20% off member price on apparel and 10% off member price on all other hard goods**

See below for just a few great gift ideas.

 
     
Bushnell Hybrid Rangefinder ($399) – This matches the best of both worlds with the best Rangefinder also providing you GPS yardages to front, middle and back of green as well as obstacles such as bunkers and creeks.   Callaway Rogue Driver ($499.99) – The #1 Driver in the game.
This thing is incredible!!

 
Golf Balls:

Chrome Soft ($45/dozen) – The ball that changed the balls, continues to gain ground in the market and is my preferred ball.

ProV1 ($48/dozen) – The #1 ball in golf since being introduced over 15 years ago!

 
Apparel:

We have great lines from adidas, FootJoy, Fennec and Travis Mathew all in stock and ready to go for Father’s Day.

     
     
Shoes:

adidas – The adidas shoes with Boost technology are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn!

FootJoy – FJ does an incredible job balancing the technology they put in their shoes for comfort and performance with a great classic look that many players continue to love!
   

 
Oakley Sunglasses – The Oakley Golf Prizm lens does an amazing job blocking the rays from the sun, but also improves contrast for better color separation to help with reading greens.

Contact us if you have any questions or we can help you find that something special for the Father in your life!

JAMBALEA COURSE AND DRIVING RANGE AVAILABILITY

Course designers are clearly
in league with golf ball manufacturers.

How many golf courses have a
Par 3, about 5 Iron distance,
with water on the right?

They know that an Iron over 38“
long and less than 28° of loft
has a good chance of going right.


 
   
Ten years ago, we told you that your
4 Iron loft had strengthened to become
the same loft as the previous year’s 3 Iron.
Your 5 Iron will today have the same
loft as that 3 Iron.
Without question, most golfers ought to be
replacing their 5 Iron with a Hybrid.
They should be investing in improving
their technique. And smiling as they walk
up to their ball on the green. It makes it easier
to enjoy the geese! It also means you’re
buying less golf balls.

 
Bring your problem distance to us. Let us spend time whether improving your technique with an existing club,
or filling the gap with a better solution. Come and spend 45 minutes with us,
and let’s see how best to fill that gap.
 

 
 
 
We want more golfers to have a great experience out on the golf course.

To do that, you don’t have to take on the same challenge as
Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Jason Day, Louis Oosthuizen, Shangsan Feng or Lexi Thompson.
In fact, you already don’t play the same length golf course they do.

So, let’s play more formats that make it more enjoyable for more golfers.
 
 
PGA Junior League is a format that combines a competitive element with a game that stays ‘in play’ longer
(2v2 over 3x3 holes), with the playability benefits of a Scramble format.

There are 3 ‘flags’ to be won. If you’re playing 18, why not play 2v2 better ball scramble, over 3x6 holes?
 
 And actually, why not find time to
play nine in this format (3x3 holes),
 before or after your day?

Or nine on a Sunday afternoon
with the family?
 
You can still have friendly competition, but it’s likely that this is a much more social format:
you come together on the tee; for the 2nd shot; and on the green. That’s more fun together.
 

Try it. Try and think of different ways to play the game, to allow the less skilled the opportunity to
get much more enjoyment from the experience. Or for you to change it up and enjoy yourself more.


And if you need help finding more fairways on your own, then
