Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Has it been a crazy spring, or what??  Super windy days, occasional rain showers, hail in May, what else can we expect?  This week and next is expected to warm up, so we may actually have some really nice golfing days.

Our staff at both courses have really been top notch and doing their best despite tough conditions.  Please let them know you appreciate their efforts.

Thanks for your patience with the updates to the course web sites.  We took a 180 degree turn from the original plan, and are now making progress with a new and improved plan.  Baby steps will still get you where you need to go, right?

Thanks to all who have reached out with questions/comments.  Please continue to do so by sending us feedback via your digital receipt.  And if we haven’t yet met, please come out and introduce yourself sometime.  I look forward to meeting all of you.

Thank you for your support!  And please let us know if there is anything we can do to help improve your golfing experience.

Tips from Our Pro

What’s New and Exciting?
Hopefully your drivers are popping – wedges are stopping and putts are dropping!
If not – This tip will help regain some of the momentum that may have escaped from your game. Remember this quote as your only swing thought: “Good Things Happen When You Finish A Golf Swing!”
Look that target in the eye when you’re done. Both hips facing your target. Back foot to where I can see all your spikes. Toe in the ground. Club across your shoulders.
Without this pose you have given up quite a few yards plus the accuracy of your shot is probably erratic. If you are not sure how to accomplish this task – Follow me on social media: (@thegolfyoda) In an upcoming post will be the “Swish Drill” which will help you stick this finish and also increase your flexibility plus gain swing speed all at once.
I know that got your attention.
Be Good To Each Other!
