Summer’s here and the greens are in excellent condition! Please help us keep our course beautiful by fixing your divots and ball marks. Hope everyone is enjoying themselves. Any questions please stop by and see me. Remember to sign up for the club championship. Carol Russell General Manager HONEY RUN GOLF TIPS One of the key elements in the downswing is to keep your head in the same position. Begin your downswing with the hips and keep your head behind the ball until your follow through. Do not use your right hand to try to generate more power. The power in your golf swing will come from the leverage in the angle between the club and your wrists. Try to hold the angle between the clubs and the wrists as much as possible in order to generate maximum power. Do not rush the downswing as this will usually result in poor shots and inconsistency. You want to have a gradually increasing speed on the downswing and make sure that you have good balance and swing well within yourself. Do not try to muscle the club or swing hard, just make a smooth and controlled movement and you will find that this will help you to hit the ball solidly on a regular basis. Golf Course Tip – Hole #10. A great tee shot with the driver can potentially put you 100 yards out with a wedge in hand; but a bad drive will leave you heading back to your bag to get another ball. Rather than trying to flush a driver through the tree lined fairway, try hitting your hybrid or 5 wood off the tee. By playing a safer tee shot, your ability to advance the ball on the green in regulation increases and leaves out the potential to score higher than bogey. There are plenty of holes to bomb your driver on, and #10 is definitely not one of them.

CHUCKLES • I’m not saying my golf game went bad, but if I grew tomatoes, they’d come up sliced. • The more I practice, the luckier I get. • What a shame to waste those great shots on the practice tee. • Would a lion cheat on his wife?.....no but Tiger Wood. • If you think it’s hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball. | |||
