Beyond the typical notices to pay attention to speed and limit two passengers to a seat, be aware of weather, especially lightning.

Although many features of you golf cart make it a substitute for a car, your cart is not a car. Your car has certain features that make it relatively* safe from lightning (its metal frame is the primary protective feature), your golf cart does not have a metal frame that surrounds you. Contrary to popular belief the rubber on the tires have no protective qualities.

Please be aware that if your cart is struck by lightning, and you are in it, it is unlikely that you or your passengers will survive.
- A lightning bolt has an estimated temperature of 28,000 Fahrenheit
 
o This will cause the liquid in the batteries to boil and they will explode
o The plastic and rubber will melt
o The electricity will run through the bodies of the occupants as it attempts to reach the ground.

Please, when lighting is present, and you are alerted by the ThorGuard siren, seek shelter immediately.

* a car’s frame surrounds the passengers, if struck by lightning the charge goes around the frame of the vehicle keeping the passengers safe. This is known as a Faraday effect.

Note: when possible seek shelter indoors, not all cars have metal frames, convertibles do not have an overhead “cage,” and storms have many risks not just lightning. It is a common occurrence to have afternoon thunderstorms this time of year. Many of these storms “pop up” without much warning. We ask that everyone please abide by the club rules regarding lightning and safety when you are on the course or practice facility.



Sawgrass Country Club West Nine Bunker Project
June 4th-August 14th
Project Scope of Work

A portion of the Phase III master facilities plan approved by membership included the updating of the West Nine greenside bunkers. The following is a brief snap-shot of this project.

The bunkers on the West Nine were last renovated in the summer of 2013. At that time, the newest bunker technology available was the Better Billy Bunker System. Under the direction of the golf course architect, Sawgrass was one of the first clubs in the State to utilize this new construction method. As is the case when adopting new technologies, there are always “bugs” to work out.

Following the completion of the West Nine bunkers, and while building the East and South bunkers (2014-2015), the Better Billy Bunker people reached out to Sawgrass. They explained that the original specifications that called for 3”- 4” of bunker sand at the bottoms were receiving less than optimum feedback from the golfing community. The bunkers seemed to be too firm and too wet for the Florida climate. The new recommendation was to install 7” of angled sand to the bottom of the bunker. After consulting with the USGA, GCSAA, GCBAA, and our golf course architect, it became clear that the newest specifications provided a more desirable golfing experience. As a result, the East and South Nine bunkers were built with 7” on the bottom while the West Nine were built with 3”.

The scope of work this summer is to remove the bunker sand from the greenside bunkers on the West Nine and excavate them to the matching depth of the East Course. The faces will be stabilized with a capillary concrete while the drainage at the base will be replaced. This provides for a better draining bunker and a more consistent playing surfaces property wide.

Work begins during the normal maintenance closure period which starts on June 4th. The West Nine is scheduled to remain closed for the summer, reopening following the August maintenance closure.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but assure you that the professional staff and management team of Sawgrass Country Club have met with many industry professionals and all agree this is our most appropriate course of action.

Thank you again for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you on the property.



Ron Philo, Jr. returned safely to Sawgrass on Thursday following his trip to the 51st PGA Professional Championship. Though he fell short of his desired outcome, he did find some airtime with this outstanding play on his 34th hole of the event. Nice up and down, Ron. A testiment to the Workout Wednesday program!

A mid-Iron second, over a nasty hazard, with more trouble right of the green,
tests your technique, your equipment, your fitting, and your confidence.

 

 
   
A Hybrid has the forgiveness,
and deeper centre of gravity this shot needs.
But some golfers struggle mentally with the
need to strike the ball a descending blow
with a Hybrid.
 That’s why some manufacturers have
created Crossovers or Hybrid-Irons.
Mentally it is easier to think about,
and execute, a slightly descending
blow with this club.


If there’s an area of your approach shot game from the Fairway that punishes you too often,
there’s potential for scorecard improvement. Use the right fitted equipment with the right technique,
and you’ll be able to take the challenge on with a greater chance of success.
Spend 45 minutes with us. Let’s make a difference.
 
 

 
 
Got some friends who have just started to learn the game?
Give them a chance to have some fun out on the golf course.
 
 
You don’t have to tee off from the tee box – a hugely daunting and intimidating experience
for someone still struggling to get a full shot airborne consistently.
It will lead to a much longer round and not a lot of joy.
Why not play 9-holes with each hole starting at the 40 yard mark?
 
 
You don’t have to wait for us to create fun golf experiences.
You can create them yourselves as a four-ball, or a small group.
Respect everyone else, but enjoy your golf.
 

Try this with friends, if you’re a regular or even highly competitive golfer.
Come down after work, before work, whenever you have 2 hours.
Play a 9 hole 40 yard Championship. It’s a great game.

Anyone not shooting under 36?
Then it’s time to pay a visit and improve your short game.
