Advice for
the Scrambler
By Dan MarkhaM
Some golfers would
play every day, if the opportunity presented itself. And some come very
close to accomplishing
this feat.
Others like a weekly
round, enough to keep active and sharp, but not
enough to get burned out.
But for others, golf is a
once-a-year experience,
perhaps undertaken during the annual company
outing. Frequently, these
types of outings are
played in a scramble format, where teams of
three or four each hit a
shot, then choose the best
ball among them and hit
from there.
While some top-loaded
teams, populated with
former college players
and other athletic types,
will have their eye on the
big clubhouse gift certificate or 4-foot-high trophy,
the goals of some other
players are less lofty.
Please, dont let me embarrass myself out
there?
Or. I just want one of
my shots to get used.
So what can this golfer
do to accomplish these
modest accomplishments? A few Michigan
club pros have an answer.
I tell them to try to develop one aspect of their
game, says Mark Hogan,
a PGA golf professional.
Maybe theyre good at
driving or chipping or
putting. Any kind of shot
(will do).
Pam Phipps and Jeff
Goble offer similar assessments. Use the clubs
that you feel most confident with, such as a 3wood off the tee as
opposed to a driver, says
Phipps, who serves as a
director of golf.
Use the club that you
hit the best, says Goble,
an instructor at the Rick
Smith Golf Academy.
Whether its a 5-iron or
7-wood. And dont try so
hard.
Cory Crowell, a PGA
pro, says that using a 3wood off the tee is always
a smart move. Nothing
raises scores like lost or
unplayable tee shots.
Keeping the ball in play
will always help the
team.
Steve Helner, who
teaches golf, says that another way to contribute to
the teams effort is
through the short game.
Chipping and putting
is what its all about,
Helner says of scrambles.
The team that chips and
putts well does the best.
Of course, the duffer
worried about his performance can take steps
to alleviate them with a
little preparation.
I would suggest getting to the range and get
in a few practice sessions, says golf professional, Don White. Just
work
on
something
basic.
But these
pros say attitude can be more
important than
aptitude when determining whether
the company outing
is a fulfilling experience or something to hide your
head about at
work the next
day.
Relax
and enjoy
the day
out of the office. It is important to remember that
you will not be expected
to carry the team, says
Bob Koutnik, director of
golf operations.
Golf Pro Judy Mason
echoes that opinion. The
main goal in this situation is to have fun. Be
sure to have a positive attitude. More golfers have
embarrassed themselves
with poor behavior than a
lack of ability.
Part of avoiding poor
behavior is learning the
basics of golf etiquette,
such as not talking while
another player is hitting,
walking across a players
putting line and other
golf no-nos. Players unfa-
miliar with basic etiquette

can get assistance from
more seasoned players in
their foursome.
Then again, one aspect
of proper behavior is just
a matter of common
sense, though one not always exercised.
The two most important things are to be
ready to play when its
your and not to drink too
much, Koutnik says.

Could Golf Fitting be the Key

to Improving Your Game?
By aManDa Monthei
Golfers interested in improving their swing or making sure theyre buying
properly fitted clubs now have
the resources to get fitted locally in northern Michigan.
With two new golf fitting facilities in Emmet County,
those who live near or visit for
the myriad of golf courses in
the Tip of the Mitt region can
now utilize indoor simulators
and fitting systems to improve
their golf game. Shot Makers
Golf Center, which opened in
Alanson last November, and
Scratch Golf Fitting Center at
Boyne Highlands will both be
offering fitting services this
summer.
Shot Makers owner Lloyd
Swadling, of Alanson, said
the market for a good golf fitting center was wholly unfilled in the area when he
began considering the business pursuit, and being that
northern Michigan is somewhat of a golf hub, knew that
he had to fill the demand.
Were a golf mecca here,
there are so many golf
courses in this area, which
was a big part in why I was
willing to do this, he said.
Everyone wants to come to
Northern Michigan to golf.
However, up until last fall,
there were no fitting facilities
north of Traverse City, and
Swadling himself was traveling to Grand Rapids for fittings twice a year.
There was no competition
for a ways, that was a big part
of it, said Swadling, who attended Grand Valley State
University before moving
back to his hometown five
years ago. But it was really

just to bring something different to the area, no one had
anything like this.
Swadling said hes seen a
good response, though, and
from customers living as far
away as Kalkaska and Sault
Ste. Marie.
Ive had people from Sault
Ste. Marie and Newberry coming down and utilizing the facility, Swadling said.
Theres just a demand for it.
Shot Makers boasts three
indoor ProTee simulators
with 9 by 15 foot impact
screens which customers can
use to play a virtual round on
their choice of over 90

courses. There is also a pro
shop that accepts trade-ins
and offers new and used
equipment. Shot Makers is a
Nike Golf, Mizuno, Taylor
Made and Adams Golf dealer.
Most importantly, though,
is the fitting systems
Swadling has to help customers swing, and play, at
their best.
A lot of people think that
getting fitted costs a lot of
money, but it doesnt, he said.
If youre going to spend $799
or $899 on a set of irons off
the shelf, generally for that
price were able to get you
into a custom-fit set that is

molded to your swing. If you
buy a set off the shelf, they
come in standard specs and
you essentially have to figure
out how to hit those.
The best part about getting
fit is you take your swing and
we build a club to it, versus
trying to change your swing to
figure out how to hit that golf
club better.
Swadling said he charges
$50 for an hour-long fitting
session, however that $50 is
applied to the purchase of a
set of irons if purchased at
Shot Makers. The goal, of
course, is to get a set that precisely fits a customers individual swing.
Well have people book an
hour, and well plan for an
hour, Swadling said. I have
them start hit a few balls
with their own clubs, get loose
and get warm and then I
hook them on whats called a
shaft optimizer and we enter
that into our fitting system.
They can see all their distances, they can see how consistent they are with each
club and then from there, it
helps them make a decision of
what fits best.
Swadling added that he
works with the Mizuno fitting
system, specifically, but that
the system can be applied to
any brand of clubs.
For rainy days or just out of
curiosity, those wanting to
play a virtual round of golf on
Shot Makers three indoor
simulators can pay $30 per
hour of play. That includes a
choice from 95 courses, five
range play modes and swing
analytics.
Shot Makers is located on
U.S. 31 in Alanson. More information can be found at
www.shotmakersgolfcenter.co
The Scratch Golf Fitting
Center is located in the Ross
Golf Shop at Boyne Highlands. For more details, call
(231) 526-3811.
The Art of the Putt
By sCott D. turner
After taking all those big swings at
that little ball and getting it on the
green, now it's time to reverse your
thinking. Let's talk about putting
and how you can roll that little white
ball in a four-inch hole from forty
feet away.

analyze your putting situation. This

means to take a look at what the lie
looks like - do you have a nice flat
green or are there lots of hills and
valleys you need to traverse. Are
you putting against the grain of the
grass or with it? Do you have grass
that is laying flat or is extremely

To become a good putter, you need

to start "reading" your putts. Here
are some basic fundamentals you
should be practicing. The rest is
about how good your vision is, how
much you pay attention to detail and
Continued on the next page
how sharp your feel is.

Get a putter with a very
distinct line marked on it,
(the new blade putters do
this very well) to indicate
the target line and practice
with a chalk line, or a
stretched out piece of string
gets the job done also. Find
a place on the practice
green that is straight. Snap
a chalk line down from
about 5 or 6 feet to the middle of the cup. Make sure
that the entire length of the
line on your putter is exactly on the chalk line. Start
making putts. This will
train your eyes to "see
square" precisely. Practice
here makes perfect.
Make sure your eyes are
directly above the target
line, or very close. If you
hang a plumb line from
your eyes it should fall over
the target line. This will
also help you with the previous point.
Make sure your weight is
in the middle of your feet. If
your weight is either forward on your toes or back
on your heels there is an excellent chance that your
stroke will follow the direction your weight is tilted
rather than the target line.
Probably the most important task here is to keep you
hands soft on the grip and
through out your stroke. If
your hands are tight on the
grip you are diminishing
your sensitivity - period.
Concentrate not to change
your grip pressure. If your
grip pressure changes during the stroke, it's probably
not "a stroke" but more
likely a jab, flinch, spasm,
push, hit ... well, you get the
idea.
There is no independent
action in the hands. Nothing could be more logical: If
you do indeed have the putter face aligned precisely, as
in the first point above, the
last thing you'd want to do

is to change the position of
the face. Therefore, your
hands should not be moving
independently of your arms
and shoulders. If you can't
tell if your hands are moving, as a drill try watching
your hands very carefully
(instead of the ball) a few
times. You'll be able to see
quite easily whether or not
they are moving in your

stroke.
Putting is a light touch,
soft hands and a consistent
stroke depending on the distance you need across the
green. And of course, nothing can replace practice and
more practice. Start putting
on your living room floor,
your office or anywhere you
have a smooth surface. In-
stead of hitting that bucket

of balls after work, drop a
few balls on the practice
green for an hour. This will
work wonders on your game
and you'll be thrilled with
your lower overall strokes
per game.

The View is spectacular

at A-Ga-Ming Golf Resort
By aManDa Monthei
When it comes to golf
course style and design,
there are a few things that
are resoundingly Northern Michigan.
The obvious would be
the views its hard to
come by views better than
those enjoyed by Northern Michigan golfers. And
then theres the topogra-
phy, born of glacial movement and melting in the

great ice age around one
million years ago defined now by the river valleys, the moraines, ridges
and elevation of the region.
While some course designers who came to the
Northern Michigan region from the early 20th
century on favored the

the landscape of Northern Michigan in all its
glacially-shaped glory.
One such designer was
Jerry Matthews, who is
responsible for the A-GaMing Golf Resorts

The course opened in
2006, and is very much a

A Day at
the Beach
The Key to Surviving Bunkers
By sCott turner
Golf, like any other sport takes

lots of practice, patience and proper
technique and execution. Many
times when the beginning golfer,
(and Many golfers, as soon as they
encounter the 'dreadful' bunker shot,
immediately go into convolutions or
start throwing things and think it's
the end of the world. Nothing is further from the truth.
In order to hit a successful fairway
bunker shot, you begin by playing
the ball back in your stance. By setting up with the ball slightly right of
your zipper, (for right handed players). This will help your club face to
strike the ball before the sand.
Usually, the ball is blasted out of
the sand. This is done by striking
the sand first, a few inches behind
the ball, and letting the force of the
club and sand "blast" the ball out of
the bunker or trap and towards the
intended target. But be careful not
to ground the club in the bunker.
Take some practice swings on the
edge of the bunker before entering
the bunker and addressing your ball.
To get out of a buried sand trap
lie, try closing the face of the wedge
a little and hit an inch or 2 behind
the ball on your down swing. Do not
stop at the ball, but rather continue
the swing and the ball will come out

nicely. I prefer a pitching wedge for
the buried lie shot.
While in a fairway trap, dig your
feet in by twisting them into the
sand. Hence, let your knees pinch toward each other so the majority of
your weight is over the inside of
your feet. Your foot impressions
after the shot should be deeper on
the inside half of each foot.
Do not let the face close (toe pass
the heel) until after impact, if at all.
Continue to accelerate through the
ball to a natural finish on your
bunker shots.
Getting out of a greenside bunker
can be easy when you know these
three rules. #1-Use a Sand Wedge
with a large sole to slide through the
sand. #2-Strike the sand behind the
ball as you accelerate to a full finish.
Most players hit the sand behind the
ball and "quit" on the shot, leaving
the ball in the bunker. #3- Make sure
you use a light grip pressure. Holding the club too tightly will "freeze"
your wrists making it difficult to
slide the club under the ball in the
sand properly.
When we are close to the green we
must create this angle, which will
get the ball out of the sand and has a
higher trajectory to then sit on the
green. As I take my club back, my
hands hinge to make them strong

and then I continue up until my
hands are even with my hips. At this
point, I pull the end of the club down
and I aim generally two inches behind the ball accelerating through
the sand and making a full finish.
If you need to get the golf ball up
fast out of a trap during a bunker
shot, try starting the back swing by
cocking your wrists upward followed
by the normal back swing. The down
swing is the same but you release the
wrists (uncock them) before impact.
The result is a steep cut through the
sand popping up the ball quickly and
softly on the green.
If you are a high handicapper, always play the most consistent and
safest shot. When faced with a long
fairway bunker shot, go with a 7 or 8
iron golf club instead of a 3 or 4 iron
golf club.
Welcome to "the beach" is a term
all golfers have come to know at
some point in their golfing careers.
A sand shot or bunker shot is often
one of the most intimidating shots
to execute, and can often leave a
golfer discouraged, but with a little
forethought, consistent practice and
positive thinking, you too can be an
excellent bunker in no time at all.

Chipping and Pitching

By sCott D. turner
Two of the most dreaded
shots in golf, the chip and
pitch shot, can be your foremost stroke shaving
weapons you pull out of
your bag. Mastering these
little monsters will take 20
strokes off your game per
round.
The chip shot is usually
played about 10-30 yards out
from the pin and usually
rolls on the green as far as it
flew. It's designed to get the
ball on to the green with
minimal effort on your part.
To play a chip shot, select
somewhere between a 7 iron
and a pitching wedge, depending on the distance the
ball needs to fly and roll.
Usually a chip shot is just
off the green about 5 -10

yards and rolls 10 - 20 yards.
The chip and run should
be the workhorse of your
short game. It is the most reliable shot around the green.
I would estimate that at
least 95% of my short game
shots (from within 20 yards
of the edge of the green) are
played with a chip and run,
and the other 5% include
putts from off the green,
pitches, and bunker shots.
Getting the ball on the
ground and rolling as soon
as possible greatly increases
the chances of the ball's behavior being predictable.
That is not to say that a chip
and run is always very low
to the ground...just as low as
possible. A chip and run
style shot can be played with
BUTTERSCOTCH
MOCHA
LATTE
LA
TTE
the most lofted wedge in

your bag, in which case
some people might refer to
the shot as a "pitch and
run."
In many cases where the
average golfer tries to pitch
the ball up in the air, the
"risk vs. reward" and the uncontrollable nature of a
pitch (especially from a marginal lie) make it a poor
choice.
Simply play the ball a little forward in your stance,
your hands even with the
ball and the shaft vertical
and your shoulders closed
slightly. The swing depends
on the distance you need the
ball to go. With most chip
shots, the back swing is
about waist high and is mirrored with the follow
through.
There should be no wrist
action with this stroke, simply putt the ball with a
lofted club. The swing path
should be inside to square.
When you chip, you're
aiming at a spot well in
front of the pin, the spot
where you want the ball to
land. You are not aiming for
the pin. You are aiming at
the spot. Its location will
vary depending upon the
loft of the club you are using
and the length of the chip.

You must prejudge the
amount of carry and roll
that is needed and calculate
your landing spot. Simply
aim for an exact spot on the
green you want your ball to
land.
The cousin of the chip
shot, the pitch shot has a little more action and distance. The same clubs are
used, but the execution is
slightly different. The pitch
shot is taken further back in
the backstroke, somewhere
between 9 to 10 o'clock and
mirrored on the follow
through.
Unlike the chip shot with
no or little wrist action, the
pitch shot needs a little
more wrist action at the bottom of the swing. This gives
the ball a little more spin
and stops the ball where you
want it on the green.
So whenever you're faced
with a short game dilemma,
just remember these rules.
Putt whenever feasible (i.e.,
if the ball will roll rather
than bounce), chip and run
when you can't putt, pitch
only when you have no
choice.

High profile designer, Robert Trent Jones,

left his mark in Northern Michigan
By aManDa Monthei
Northern Michigan
golfers can certainly
consider themselves
lucky.
For one, there are the
lakes, the rivers, the
wilderness, the views
all of which contribute
to a golf experience unlike anywhere else in
the country.
Perhaps because of
this, renowned course
architects have been
drawn to this area for
over a century, leaving
in their tracks some of
the best courses Northern Michigan has to
offer.
Among them Robert
Trent Jones is arguably
the most influential in
this area, having designed masterpiece
courses at both The
Heather at Boyne Highlands (1968) and Treetops Resort (1987).
Thanks to the go big
or go home perspective
of then-Treetops (formerly Sylvan Knob Ski
Area) owner Harry
Melling who purchased the resort in 1983
Jones was called in in
1987 to design the resorts first golf course in
an attempt to make a go
at summer profits as a
ski resort. What resulted
was, no surprise here, a
masterpiece course that
received raving reviews
from golf critics across
the country when unveiled in 1987.Golf Digest named it the second
best new golf course in
Photo courtesy of boyne hiGhlAnds resort

hole #5 on the heather course at boyne highlands in harbor springs. the heather
is just one of the many great robert trent Jones designed courses in northern
Michigan.
the country that year. It

was also Jones who,
while perched on the hill
overlooking the 6th hole,
suggested a new name
for the course Treetops.
The course design utilizes its location in the
Pigeon River Valley,
making use of the
rivers headwater conditions on a handful of
holes on the front nine.
Dramatic elevation and
dangerous fringe areas
make the course particularly challenging,
enough so that some recommend players bring
their total A-game when
playing there.
In terms of Jones
sweeping career, Treetops design in 1987 was
certainly late in the
game. He finished designing in the 90s before
passing away in 2000,
having completed 420
course designs in his
lifetime, including 16 in
Michigan in a career
that spanned over 70

years. Treetops was the
last Jones course to be
designed in Michigan.
Now under the ownership of Rick Smith, a
renowned golf instructor who took over for the
late Harry Melling in
2002, Treetops continues
to benefit from the admirable foresight of
Melling, who in hiring
Jones, ultimately created a Northern Michigan golf destination for
the books.
Boyne Highlands
Heather course was
built around the middle
of Jones career, and
amidst a number of
other design pursuits in

Golf, like any other sport

takes lots of practice, patience and proper technique and execution.
Many times when the beginning golfer, (and those
who have played for a
while) steps up on #1 tee
and swings away, their ball
takes a flight that resembles the path of a
boomerang and lands
somewhere in another fairway.
In golfing terms this is
known as a slice. The club
face is not square at impact
with the ball, it's turned
out, and the ball flies to the
right and curves in flight
flying in a half circular
pattern.
As embarrassing as this
may be, it is curable and
you can be hitting your
drives right down the middle in no time at all.

One of the sneakiest
slice causing culprits is the
karate-chop hand or the
home run swing. To fix
this, take a golf stance
near a chair's padded back
rest and let your hands
form your grip against the
back rest. At address, the
back of the left hand is flat
on the backrest. Make a
back and forward swing at
the chair. A square impact
has the back hand hitting
flat against the back rest. If
the pinky-side-palm-pad
hits first (like a karate
chop) you are opening up
at impact. Practice this
drill until you can hit flat
every time and you will be
square at impact.

feet of elevation change.

In addition to the natural features that are inherent to Northern
Michigan, Matthew
added some demanding
features that will make or
break a round. Still, the
views of two great bodies
of water are worth the
challenge.
Its got 118 sand
bunkers theres some
good use of sand and
heather, Brown said.
Its a linked-style
course, which basically
means its fairly open

with a lot of heather
you know, long, brown,
flowing grass. Its really
pretty, but its challenging. You can see Torch
Lake from the east side of
the course and Lake
Michigan from the west
side of the course.
The location of all
three of A-Ga-Mings
courses Sundance,
Torch and Antrim Dells
afford postcard-quality
views of Torch Lake,
Grand Traverse Bay and
Old Mission Peninsula.
With our proximity to
Torch Lake and Lake
Michigan, were very,
very unique, Brown
said. We probably have
some of the best views of
any golf course (in this
area). Its definitely about
the views and the terrain
this whole area, naturally, was carved by gla-
ciers and left us with

some pretty awesome topography.
An interesting connection of past and present
for the A-Ga-Ming Golf
Resort is that Matthews,
prior to his design of
Sundance for A-Ga-Ming,
also assisted his father in
the design of Antrim
Dells back in the 1970s.
One of (Matthews)
first jobs that he did with
his dad was Antrim
Dells, Brown said. And
we hired him 30 or 40
years later and to do Sundance, so thats pretty interesting.
And as far as courses
that are quintessentially
Northern Michigan
with rolling hills, slight
elevation changes, views
of the big lake and large

Antrim Dells is a

course, cutting through
the woods, with a beautiful view of Lake Michigan from the clubhouse,
you can see all the way
over to Old Mission
Peninsula and Northport,
and thats kind of the
theme of our golf club

The Torch course has

its pretty cool.

Fewer Strokes with less practice

By Dan MarkhaM
Golf is the ultimate form of relaxation, the perfect way to while
away a few hours of precious
down time.
But golf's appeal can be muted if
that break from the busy work
week is spent depositing shots in
water hazards, bunkers and parking lots. Four hours traipsing
through weeds and woods in
search of that evil Titleist can
make the rigors of work a more
appealing proposition.
And that's where your problem
lies. You love golf and want to improve, to make those breaks from
the grind even more appetizing.
At the same time, your hectic
schedule won't allow for half-hour
excursions to the driving range or
a series of lessons with your club
professional.
So how does one shave strokes
from his score without putting in
the work necessary to improve?
Well, club professionals agree

that dramatic improvement without the requisite legwork simply
won't happen. But there are a few
things the average player can do to
slice a few strokes from his game
when he or she doesn't have time
to pound balls at the range.
The absolute best advice is a
common sense technique that pros
see too many amateurs ignore:
stretch before the round.
"Stretching is vital," says Judith
Mason, director of golf, "You can
start stretching in the office, on
the way to the course, or on the
first tee."
Bob Koutnik, director of golf
operations, is also a firm believer
in the value of proper stretching,
particularly the back and leg muscles.
"Take two clubs and start with
slow, small swings and gradually
built into longer, fuller swings."
Koutnik also thinks there are
plenty of ways to work on your
game at home.
"I suggest swinging a club at
home. Stick a tee in the ground
without a ball and swing through
the tee just as if there was a ball
on it," Koutnik says. "You will
maintain body flexibility as well
as build muscle memory."
Putting on the family carpet is
another Koutnik favorite.
"Remember putting greens are
usually smoother and faster, but
all you are doing is practicing
your putting stroke."
And Koutnik even has at-home
advice for the couch potato.
"In the winter, take a club in the
house and practice taking your
grip while you are watching television," he says.
Along those lines, Pam Phipps,
director of golf, says there are
techniques that can be used to
"emulate the golf swing."
Club professionals Mark Hogan
and Steve Helner said that dramatic improvement without practice is nearly impossible. But
when practice time is at a premium, both advocate focusing efforts on the short game.
"Practicing putting or short
chips is really going to save
strokes," Helner says.
And Jeff Goble, an instructor at
the Rick Smith Golf Academy,
says that given the choice between
putting and chipping before the
round, he opts for chipping.
"It helps give you the speed of
the greens," Smith says of preround chipping. "And you're getting the benefit of striking the golf
ball."
But, Smith says, the most important lesson the non-practicing
golfer should take to the course is
this:
"Try to have fun. Try to enjoy
yourself. If you're not able to practice, you can't expect too much."

nonetheless quintessentially Jones. The
Heather, located in Harbor Springs, is considered championship
caliber, and certainly
speaks to Jones particular tastes his bold use
of hazards, pinched fairways where inaccuracy
meant woods or water,
and ultimately, great

Jones admired the

that the courses they
played should test the
limits of their skills,
James Hansen, who
wrote a biography on
Jones, said. He made
sure that golf at its
highest levels was a
kind of athletic chess, a
game that had to stimulate the mind as well as
engage the muscles. At
the same time, he understood that in order to
prosper in the long term
as a popular sport, and
not just as an arena for
elite practitioners, the
courses had to be fun for
everyone.
In addition to his influential work in Northern Michigan, Jones

Golf Etiquette
By Scott D. Turner
Many new players are anxious to get out there
and hit their first golf ball, but before you step out
on the first tee and swing away, it would be very
helpful to actually know what you're doing. Golf
is a "gentleman's" sport and has a set number of
rules, guidelines and regulations to follow for the
enjoyment of all.
Let's get started Try not to hit your first ball off the first tee without warming up first. During a round of golf, you
put your body through a very rigorous workout by
stretching it in every direction imaginable. You
need to get those muscles ready for that workout.
Start by swinging with the short irons and working
your way to longer irons and into your woods. Finish
by hitting a few putts on the practice green. Make
sure you warm up the knees and ankles. An ankle
sprang is "death" on the golf course.
On the first tee check your score card for any local
rules you are playing. Back at the clubhouse, you may
want to ask if there are any fairways with "ground under
repair." Many courses provide relief from these fairway
areas by lifting your ball and placing it outside of the repair
area. Make sure to place an identifying mark on your ball and
inform the other players the type and number ball you are playing.
Avoid slow play and try to keep up with the pace of play and with
the group in front of you. Walk at a reasonable speed to your next
shot, and begin planning it as you approach the ball by studying the
strength and direction of the wind. When you reach your ball, check
the lie, select your club, visualize your swing and shot, and then play
your shot. From the time you select your club until you actually hit
your shot, you should take no more than 30 to 45 seconds. If you
aren't ready to play when it is your turn, encourage one of your fellow players to play.
A golf course is a delicate place and demands special attention
from all. The keep it in the best shape possible, follow these guidelines, (on many courses, these guidelines turn into mandatory actions.) Always replace your divots. Sometimes turf tends to explode
on impact, making it difficult, if not impossible, to replace the divot.
your grip, and you're

still slicing the ball,
check to see if your
shoulders are also
aligned at the target. If
not, square them to the
hole.
For right handed players, if you slice the ball,
check to see if your grip
is too weak. For the
right handed player, in a
weak grip, the top of the
left hand is seen and angles toward the sky. The
grip is also too weak if
the fingers of the right
hand are visible on the
left side of the grip and
the hand is angled at the
ground. To correct, roll
the hands back around
the grip so that the left
hand if is facing the target and the back of the
right hand is facing the
exact opposite direction.
Many people have a
strong grip that feels too
of slicing is an open
stance where the front
foot is back from the target line causing your
body to face the hole
more. This promotes an
outside-in swing-path
and spin on the ball. The
result is a slice to some
degree. Try closing your
stance so that your belt
buckle aligns with the
ball. This will promote a
straight swing path and
squarer hit.
One method that may
reduce slicing is to close
the club face. Give your
golf club a quarter turn
or more inward. The reason for this is in some
cases of slicing you are
opening your club face
at impact. Please note
this is a quick temporary fix.
If you squared your
feet and neutralized

uncomfortable if they
try to neutralize it. The
problem could be the positioning of the grip is
too much in the fingers.
Try laying the club
across the hand pads
where the fingers meet
the hands and grip the
club. You should have a
much easier time getting
the grip neutralized.
The bottom line here
of course is getting you
to hit the ball straight
down the fairway every
single time. To do this,
make sure your shoulders are square, your
stance is neutral, not
open or closed, and your
grip is not too tight or
too loose. Keep the leading hand, left hand, and
square at impact. With
some practice your shots
will be heading down the
fairway just like a pro.

In
this
case, you have two options: 1) You can use the

toe of your shoe to kick
in the turf around the
edges of the divot, and 2)
Many courses often put
containers of a soil/seed
mixture on their carts
and tees. If this is the
case, simply fill in the
divot with the mixture.
As you progress
through your golfing career, you'll most likely
see the in inside of a
sand bunker. This requires special care by
raking the bunker after
your shot. Nothing is
more frustrating in golf
than to come up on a
bunker shot and finding
your ball in a very large
sand divot. (Remember,
you play the ball as it
lies.) Bring a rake into
the bunker with you -remembering that you
should always enter the
bunker from the low side
at a point nearest the
ball.
Whenever possible,
avoid walking on the
steep face of a bunker
and always after hitting
your shot, rake the area
you played from, as well
as all your footprints
and any others within
reach. Rakes should be
left --either in or nearby
the bunker.
Repair any indentations caused by the ball
hitting the green. (More
than once I've hit the
green with my tee shot
and upon reaching the
green, I found my ball
completely buried on the
green surface.) Use a
tee, knife, key or repair
tool to repair the mark
by working the edges to-
wards the center, without lifting the center of

the mark. Don't tear the
grass. Finish by smoothing the area with a club
or your foot. Try to get
the area smooth enough
to putt over.
While on the green,
don't step on your fellow
players putting lines,
and if needed mark your
ball with a coin or ball
marker. Do not stand
where you might distract a fellow player, and
don't move or make any
noise while he's putting
either.
For safety's sake, never
hit when there's a
chance you might be
able to reach the group
ahead of you. Anytime
you hit a shot that you
think even has a remote
chance of hitting any
other players, yell "fore"
immediately, and make a
point of apologizing to
any players your ball
lands near. I've been hit
by a golf ball before, and
it's not the most pleasant
experience.
Don't let your temper
get the best of you.
Yelling, screaming,
throwing clubs or otherwise making a fool of
yourself are unacceptable and, in some cases,
dangerous to yourself
and others.
As a player, you also
have a responsibility to
learn and understand
the Rules of Golf.
One of the best parts
of golf is spending time
with your friends. Congratulate the winners
and console the losers
and thank them for their
company, and look forward to your next round
at your favorite course.
