Fall kitchen hours: Wednesday - Sunday 9am - 5pm.
Join us on Friday evening for our ever-popular Italian Night.
Congratulations to all of the players in this past Sunday's U.S. Kids Fall Tour at Oak Knoll
Our One-Man Scramble is open to Members and Guests
So join us for a fun tournament.
My thought for this week is, “Don’t come up short on approach shots.” A study revealed that the most common miss by amateur golfers is short. When we look at club choice, amateurs select a club for approach shots that, if they hit it perfectly, will get to the middle of the green. Try a round where you choose a club that should get to the very back of the green, and then see if you hit more greens.
Contact us if we can help.

 | | | We often get asked, especially by those looking to have better short games,
how they can learn to hit wedge shots with a lower trajectory that one-bounce and-check quickly.
Before we start on that journey there are three questions: |
| How are your wedges?
Do you have the right lofts, and are your wedge
grooves sharp? Not only do you lose 1,000 rpm of spin with worn grooves, you’ll also launch the ball higher. |  | |
|  | What ball do you play?
If you’re serious about wanting one hop and check,
then you need a premium golf ball that will spin much
more than a 2-pce, and launch a little lower. | | | | Do you clean your grooves and dry your wedge
face before each shot? In tests conducted
with a launch monitor, a wet face lost up to 3,500 rpm
and added a whopping 8° to the launch. |  | | | | This research shows that ball control requires the right equipment, cared for, and prepared for
the challenge with each shot. I guess that means rule one to ball control is
make sure you have the right equipment. |
|  |
If you want to sharpen your short game, then learn how to control ball
flight and spin with your wedge. It’s a cool skill.
