Prime time in our corner of the world

April and May bring lots of great weather and great golfing experiences.

The first week of April, people can travel two hours west to Augusta for the Masters! The roars, azaleas and diabolical greens entertain the masses. Then the Lowcountry gets its opportunity to host a PGA Tour event when Harbour Town hosts an “elevated” golf event. It should be great to see if Rory,

Rahm, JT, Jordan, Scottie, and more venture to Hilton Head to try their hand at Pete Dye’s Harbour Town. Here at Wexford, it will be busy will lots of events and more. As always, the shop will be filled with lots of new merchandise for men and women plus we offer Callaway hard goods. And for those technology-savvy people, the golf shop is now using online registration through Golf Genius for most of the events.

Chipping: ‘Rotate the Arc’

Chipping is a fairly simple golf move, requiring control mixed with the proper fundamentals. You will notice in the pictures above, the sequence of the takeaway, impact, and follow through resemble a small arc.

IMPORTANT 2023 GOLF DATES

This is a great visual to have while chipping and pitching, but always remember you still need some upper body rotation (see red line in pictures) to keep your tempo smooth and accelerating through impact.
