Hitting fairways this time of year is essential to going low. It’s not uncommon to search for a ball in the rough for a few minutes, or even losing it on someoccasionswhentheBermudagrassisaslongandthickasitcurrentlyis Missingtheshortgrassmakesitextremelydifficulttohittheballcloseto thehole Forthenextfewmonthslet’sfocusonfindingmorefairwayswhichinturnshouldhelpusattacktheholelocationsmorefrequently Let’stake alookathowItrytofindthefairwayoffthetee…
First: Play the ball off the inside of your left foot This will allow you to hit the ball on the upswing instead of hitting down on the ball. During the takeaway, turn your left shoulderbehindtheball(underyourchin),andkeepyour leftarmstraightduringthebackswing
Second: From the top of your swing, begin the downswing with a solid body turn, try to avoid swinging the golf club with your arms as it can make it difficult to time proper contact Do your best to rotate your body toward your target on the downswing, this will get you turning in a proper manner The arms will follow the turn ofyourbodyasthemomentumshouldcarrytheextension towardthegolfball Focusonkeepingyourheadoverthe topofyourrightfoot,orjustinsideyourfoot

Golf Course Update
It is hard to believe that it’s already September. Time flies when you’re having fun. As we start to step away from the summer months trying to keep everything maintained during peak growth, we now transition into a new time of year and a new season for us This time of year is just as critical if not more criticalthanallothers
Lots of planning and careful time-sensitive and temperature-dependent decisions are made during the fall which impact the near and distant future On top of dealing with leaf cleanup for the next four months, we will be carrying out some important processes such as raising height of cut on greens/tees/fairways, Spring Dead Spot fungicide applications, pre-emergence herbicide applications for winter annual weeds, course-wide fertility, and overseeding. These things are all part of the plan betweennowandwinterdormancy.
The fun never stops Everything we do this time of year has an impact on how we sustain conditions during the winter, and also how we transition OUT of dormancy in the spring. All of these things were actually planned out in 2023 as part of the 2024 agronomic plan. Over the next few months, we will be doing lots of reflecting about how things have gone so far this year and what may need to change for 2025 Good things, mistakes, financial adjustments, pesticide program, fertility schedule, and new maintenancestrategiesgoingforward,allwillbetakenintoconsiderationforhowweplanfornextyear Seeyouonthecourse,
