On The Course

Golf CartThe weather has been most cooperative over the last two months and the course has responded very well. Course conditions are at their best with low humidity and cool temperatures at night as this relieves heat stress.

While we are fortunate to enjoy such weather conditions. We will remain vigilante and respond accordingly when these conditions change.
 
We have noticed more patrons are fixing divots, repairing ball marks and raking traps which has contributed to the great course conditions this year. Please continue these practices as it goes a very long way in preserving course conditions and demonstrates the pride that our patrons take in the golf course. We appreciate this effort and thank you for continuing this for the remainder of the season.

Looking ahead, please note that our extensive maintenance program for fall aeration is scheduled for Monday, September 15th through Wednesday, September, 17th. The course will be closed for play on these days and we will advise if there are any changes to this schedule.

 
 
Tips from the Pro

Scott Sterling, PGA Professional

 

The Importance of Fundamentals


Now that we are approaching the halfway mark to the 2014 season, this is a good time for a check up of your golf swing. While bad habits sometimes set in during the season, now is the time to check the fundamentals of your swing-grip, stance and posture.
  • Make sure you maintain the proper grip pressure at set up-too tight and this will prohibit the release of the club. Too loose and you will lose control of the club and become too "wristy"

     
  •  Check your stance to make sure that your feet are shoulder width apart and recheck your alignment to the target line. This will ensure that the ball will travel where you are aiming.  

     
  •  Make sure you maintain correct posture at address. This requires a balanced and athletic set up with weight evenly distributed and your knees flexed slightly. Remember to bend from the hips and to stay behind the ball slightly at impact.
Practice these tips and if you have trouble with any of these fundamentals, schedule a lesson. It will be time well spent to improve your game.
