Full Swing

by Rob Clark, Director of Golf

We have crossed the halfway point of the golf season and we continue to see growth in all our activities relating to golf. If you have not been able to get out yet this year, you still have time to do so. The course has finally come out of the harsh winter and is looking as good as ever. I know I speak for all of us when I say how welcoming the new EZ Go cart fleet is with their braking system. The new GPS system now has a food and beverage component to it to help facilitate the operation at The Turn. You can now order from the golf course and when you make the turn your order should be ready. I am sure there will be some kinks to work out but this should be a nice addition to your golfing experience.

The Couples Club Championship is going to be a great new tournament this year. It will be such fun to see everyone come out and participate. We hope to grow this event into something special as we continue to grow the golf program here at The Ledges. If you have not had a chance to participate in 9 Wine and Dine this year you still have a couple more months to play. Check the golf schedule for the remaining dates.

Junior Golf is as strong as I have seen it in years, and we see this trend continuing to grow. Our Junior PGA League team has 24 juniors on it. Our Junior Programs this year have reached over 100 kids so far and we continue to do community service by providing a golf program to the kids at Lincoln Village Ministries. I am proud to say our golf staff has taught almost 100 kids in the three years at Lincoln Village.

We continue to get fresh apparel for men, ladies, and children on a weekly basis. If you have a need, please come by the golf shop. On the equipment front, there are many good options if you are looking for something new. Call the golf shop and sign up for an equipment evaluation. We will check your lies and lofts as well as check you club head speed and make sure you current equipment is suitable for your game.
