PRO SHOP - WITCH HOLLOW

GOLF RULES & TIPS

John Kawasoe

We are getting closer to Spring The Golf Course has been in amazing condition despite the wet and cold conditions

Thank you for your patience while the practice range has had limited access Our plan moving forward is to have the practice range open Friday through Sunday for full practice. We will have the range closed on Mondays for clean pick. Tuesday through Thursday will be hitting into the net.

For those of you who are looking to improve your golf game here are a couple of tips for when the practice range is limited to hitting into the nets. We have a great short game area at Witch Hollow. Improving your short game is the quickest way to reduce your scores Start at the hole and work backwards Work on 3-to-6-foot putts If you can knock in a high percentage of your short putts your score will drop considerably

Fun Fact: at 8 feet is where the PGA Tour Players start to miss more than half of their putts My point with this stat is the rest of us should be focusing on inside 8 feet Remember this if you ’ re a deadly short putter your lagging becomes easier and so do wedge shots

Speaking of wedge shots, another Fun Fact. The average proximity to the hole on the PGA Tour from 100 yards is 22 feet. My point here is if most of us just hit the green we are miles ahead. When you work on your wedge game distance control is every bit as important as accuracy. Make your wedge shots for the proper distance. I believe that if you can control distance your proximity to the hole will improve. For more information on how to improve your short game stop by the Golf Shop to set up a lesson

From the Golf Shop Crew, we hope all your shots are long and true

See you on the links,

John Kawasoe

PRO SHOP - GHOST CREEK GOLF RULES & TIPS

Sebastain Stewart

Ghost Creek is in absolutely amazing shape during this winter season! If you have not played Ghost, recently make sure you get a round in over here and you will be blown away by the job the maintenance team is doing to keep Ghost in phenomenal playing conditions!

Golf Season is right around the corner! Time to shake off the wintertime rust and get the swing dialed in! Book a lesson with your Ghost Creek Head Golf Professional: sstewart@pumpkinridge.com.

PRO TIP: I know this is going to sound a lot simpler than it may be but the reality of things when it comes to your golf swing is you need to think less about your swing and just go out there and play If any of you have ever played sports, you can relate to me when I say you never think about a jump shot when a defender is closing out on you or when you are in the batter's box and a pitcher is throwing 90+ mph fastballs on the inside of the plate You don't sit there and think I need my wrist to be in this spot and my weight transfer needs to be here, head in this position, etc You just react and do what you know and make it happen.

Next time you are out on the golf course, how about letting it go, walking up, and swinging. Stop thinking about your swing as much! Most golfers don't even know what they are actually supposed to be thinking about! Be an athlete!
