Happy Thanksgiving!


Wherever you are, and whoever you’re with, may we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. If you’re playing good golf, be thankful. But really, anyone able to play the greatest game already has a lot to be thankful for.
 

The club will be closed on Thanksgiving Day to allow our staff to enjoy this wonderful holiday with family and friends.

We look forward to seeing you back here on Friday!


Meals with family and friends


First Friday

December 7th at 6:30pm

 

Turkey will be a distant memory, but the Prime Rib will still be standing!

Fun. Fun. Fun.


Our juniors had a mini camp for the last two days.


 

I think you will agree that the photos are worth a thousand words...

 

As well as having fun these juniors are continually learning and improving in their games.
Don't you wish you could have joined them?


Let me know when you want to have more fun in your game.

Now is the time to join us!

For shorter shot accuracy
 
If I told you that the impact on accuracy is far greater on a shorter iron than a longer iron,
would that make you take more notice of your lie angles?
 
 
 

Put a #4 iron on the ground. Raise the toe. Now imagine a straight line squarely leaving the sweet spot. Notice how its going left of target. Now do the same with a #9 Iron and check the line leaving the sweet spot. Whoa. Much further left.

You’ve made a great swing but, if the lie angle on your #9 iron is 2° too upright, then you’re going 15 feet left of your target. What is often 15 feet left of target when you’re aiming at the green? Too right? Sand, rough, or even water. A great swing spoiled.
 
 
 
We want you to hit more great shots
 
Let us help you hit more great shots. Let us check out your lie angles.
Get that right, and you’ll be amazed at how much more accurate you are.
This applies to all golfers. Why waste a great swing?

Your wedge and ball flight

Forget what you think you knew
 

 
Most golfers think that the way to create more spin with their wedges, is to hit it higher. Last week we explained that the key to creating more spin is spin loft. If you missed that article, click here.

 

 
There are a variety of reasons why an exaggerated angle of attack will NOT create more spin on the ball.

 
We’ve learned so much from studying launch monitor data. We now know exactly how to help you hit lower,
but higher spinning wedge shots.
 
 
Come and learn to control ball flight 
Being able to shoot the ball in with a slightly lower trajectory and
the spin to check the ball quickly, makes distance control so much easier.
Come and learn how to play this shot.
