The conversion of our handicap provider to the USGA’s GHIN system has been completed. Your GAF Golf app will no longer work.
Download the GHIN App for mobile posting. You will need your GHIN number that the Golf Shop can provide for you. In addition, the FSGA is going to coming in over the next several months to remeasure and rerate the golf course. Not only will they provide ratings for our existing tees, but also for the family forward tees (these will have a silver ground mount plate as their teeing ground), and three “combo courses”; 1) Gold/Blue at 6,700 yards 2) Blue/White at 6,300 yards and 3) White/Green at 5,800 yards. In response to the family and combo tees being added, new scorecards will be developed so players know what tees to play and on what holes to play them.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

| | |  | | | | | 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.
