How to Increase Driver Distance The most common question asked by individuals looking to improve their golf game is “how do I get more distance with my driver?” Try these few tips to help increase distance and improve your length: • Take a slightly wider stance than normal for a more stable base and to encourage a bit of extra resistance in the backswing. • Tip the right shoulder down a bit more. Place about 60% of your weight on your right side at address (vice versa for the left-handed golfer).
Haig Point Ryder Cup
• You can position the ball slightly further forward (right opposite the big toe) and teed it up slightly higher. I wouldn’t encourage this when hitting into a head wind however.
Ladies' Member-Guest Invitational
• Take a big shoulder rotation in the backswing by making sure the left shoulder comes over and across the right knee cap (vice versa for the left-handed golfer).

• Make sure there is plenty of resistance in the hips and legs. Try to keep your right knee slightly bent on the back swing, so it does not straighten or lock. • At the top of the backswing, drive the body weight across by focusing on your belt buckle. Feel as though you are spinning the belt buckle around, like a wheel, as quickly as possible to face your target. This is a very different feeling from starting the downswing with the hands and arms. • Maintain a good rhythm and timing throughout the swing. Any loss of balance will probably result in a poor strike on the ball – which negates everything else you do!

COMPLIMENTARY BALL MACHINE USE Did you know that one of the benefits of being a member is you get complimentary use of the ball machine located on court 3? Keep these tips in mind to maximize your time on the machine. Ball Feed Frequency – The frequency of the delivered ball should be set so that as the ball you’ve just hit crosses the baseline, the next ball should be sent by the machine.
WATER AEROBICS Water Aerobics classes will be held on Tuesday and Thursdays at 11:00 am – 12:00 pm at the Tennis Center Pool. This is a great way to stay in shape on those warm summer days.
Targets – Make sure that each shot you hit has a target. Don’t just randomly hit balls. Contact Point – Be aware of where you are making contact with the ball. Your ideal contact point should be around waist-level. Move up or back to ensure you are in the correct position.

Equestrian
t's all about camps at the Equestrian Center in the summertime! This month we will host our Horse Camps that combine four days of riding and horsemanship skills for a fun-filled and educational week. Please contact the Equestrian Center directly if you are interested in having your guest's or children sign up. Horse Camp runs Tuesday through Friday 9:30 am 3:00 pm July 31st - August 3rd. Lunch is included. Cost is $75 daily.
As we transition from summer to fall, it is a great time to get back in the saddle as the weather cools. Our Ride N' Wine is offered twice a month, see the website calendar for more details. Dates this month are August 7th and 21st. We love our regular students and encourage you to become one by joining our lesson program. Riding horses is an amazing and wonderful way to connect with an animal while staying fit. Additionally, as the fall progresses we will be able to open up more beach ride times during the day so please take advantage of this unique experience.
Lastly, if you have not done so already, please come and take a look at our Tack Shop and Gift Store. We are continually updating our apparel with new looks and as always, we have something for the horse lover of all ages. Summer Hours for Tack Shop and Equestrian Services: 8 am - 12 pm and 3 pm - 7 pm Mon - Sat, Closed Sundays! Contact info: 843-341-8191 or rallen@haigpoint.com
