What an exciting weekend of golf for the 2018 British Open. Not too many people thought Molinari would keep it together, but congrats to him on a great victory.
Watching this weekend you couldn’t help but notice that the golf course hosting one of the most publicized events of the year was, BROWN. What is amazing is that it was celebrated as firm and fast conditions that would be great for the event. The greens were rolling a 9.5 on the stimpmeter and the players weren’t complaining about it. What you also didn’t see was a bunch of people from the R&A explaining why they did what they did. I thought it was refreshing in the days of the USGA making a disaster out of great golf courses each year, to see the R&A play the golf course the way mother nature suggested it should be. Here in the USA we certainly expect to see a golf course with a lot more green and greens rolling at least as fast, but it does put it in perspective to watch an event like that.
This summer has certainly been a very difficult one for the golf courses in our area and Josh Thomas, our Superintendent, has put in a lot of hard work trying as much as possible to stay ahead of the heat. The 10 day forecast is finally suggesting a little bit of a break and I know Josh and his team are looking forward to it!
July and early August will be another month full of great things to do at CCL. Be sure to get signed up for these by contacting Ryan or by signing up on ForeTees!

We’ve ticked off Putter balance; good looks; Putter length; and now we’re going to evaluate ‘swing weight’
as we help you find the perfect partner for the putting green.
| | | Your Putter is your precision tool. If the
swing weight is too low it makes it more
difficult to control longer Putts.
If the swing weight’s too high
you lose control. |  | | | |  | There’s a tend to shortening the
length of the putter and /
or using a heavier grip.
Both of those changes to
an existing putter,
will lower swing weight. |  | | | | The final check:
tuning your stroke and
the putter loft to create
the perfect roll. | 596.jpg) |  | | | |  |
The first three ‘dating steps’ to find the right putting partner were focused on helping you square the face
down the target line at impact. Your perfect swing weight will help you hit much better first Putts,
and ensure your short pressure Putts are easier to handle.
