West Orange Country Club Approaches 50th Anniversary now instructs dozens of juniors at every level, with discounted rates for members of the club.
It was another picturesque Saturday morning on the back patio of West Orange Country Club recently, the view affording a glimpse of the palpable buzz that has become the norm as the club approaches its 50th anniversary.
“We’re not only bringing new members to West Orange, we’re introducing new golfers to the game,” Chase beams. “And one of the best parts is watching the older members take so much pride in seeing these young kids enjoying themselves at the club.”
Longtime members and newer ones were making the turn toward the back-nine as part of the regular rotation of weekly games. Head professional Brendon Chase was working with a swarm of third-grade girls on the practice green, all clad in pink golf gear, each high-fiving the others after every made putt. Families were frolicking in the nearby refinished swimming pool, as a few toddlers took their first lessons. A foursome of ladies had just finished a friendly doubles match on one of the new tennis courts and were now enjoying a relaxing brunch.
Beck, one of the majority owners. “And that’s exactly what happened a year ago. The community showed us they care.”
The view provided a look at the cross-section of activities that are available at West Orange on a daily basis for golfers and non-golfers, old friends and new ones.
As much as the club has grown in the past year, there remains room for further growth. Membership opportunities are still available, with the ultimate goal of 350 members now within reach.
Under new management for the past year, the club has increased its membership from 150 then to around 250 right now, and was recently presented with the 2016 Ambassador of Change award from the West Orange Chamber of Commerce as it continues to cement itself as a pillar of the community.
Many of those who have recently joined are attracted to the increasing concentration on the variety of activities for every member of the family.
Much of that starts with Chase’s junior golf instruction, called Future Generation Golf Academy. Future Generation Golf Academy is an after school program focused on growing love for the game of golf and improving students’ golf skills. Golf is a game that offers a lot of fun for kids while learning valuable life skills. Our goalorientated after school program is a major factor in motivating our students to continuously strive to be the best they can be.
“I think we’re offering a great theme that differentiates us from other clubs,” explains general manager George Holland. “We’ve focused on the family atmosphere.”
Employing fun-filled teaching methods that range from working with first-time youngsters who have never before held a club to up-and-coming players who are preparing for tournament golf, Chase
“The community needed to support us,” says Jim
From golf to tennis to swimming, the club’s list of activities don’t stop there.

Power through 18 without fatigue By ANDREW NOBLE
Certified Personal Trainer Owner of Smart Fitness
Golf is an incredible sport! Sometimes frustrating and often times exhilarating. No matter if your scorecard says 70 or a 170, you always come back for more. Hi, my name is Andrew Noble and I am a Certified Personal Trainer and Owner of Smart Fitness in Ocoee. We pride ourselves on using a customized fitness system to assess your needs through functional movement screens. This high-end evaluation allows us to build a program that will take your game to the next level. By looking at the way your body moves, we will optimize it for golf based on what restrictions or imbalances are presented. Starting with stability, we will ensure a high level of injury resistance and a powerful core. Moving from stability, we will transition to strength so you can power through 18 holes without any fatigue. The 3 things you need to do today to improve your game: • Identify what you want to improve about your game and set a goal. Be specific! Some examples include: add 20yds to my drive, maintain technique through all 18 holes or play until I am 85.
• Recognize. There are distinct differences between stability, strength and power. Stability is your ability to control the deepest most powerful core muscles. Strength is the how well you can maintain your game for the entire round without fatigue. Power is harnessing your big muscles (think glutes, abdominals and shoulders) to smash that 300yd drive.
GOLF TIP:
Balance in the Golf Swing by Roger P. Masterson, PGA Teaching Professional
• Stay Focused. After you learn techniques and get your core strengthened and stable, forget about it! Stay focused on what you need to do and your body will follow. You have trained hard on your specific goals, so you have nothing to worry about. At Smart fitness we have the pleasure of training some elite athletes, one in particular is current LPGA pro Jacqui Concolino “Working with Andrew at Smart Fitness has given me the trust and belief I need to be able to perform at the highest level possible. As a professional golfer, overall fitness is a huge factor in performance through my 11 month season. Andrew and Smart Fitness provide me the tools necessary to do this in an efficient fashion.” Now go out, grab that driver and hit the long ball! Results guaranteed or your old golf game back.
Exercise Drills • Start with making swings from your knees (this will help to build core strength and stability) • Swing while barefoot (establish a connection to the ground to build leg strength and weight shift) • Swing with your feet together (continued weight shift training and center of the body balance training) • Swing on one foot only (now you are ready to test your training and focus by swinging on the trail foot only) • Feet together, one foot, and step through to finish (feet together at start, trail foot only at the halfway point of the swing, and step through to the lead foot on the downswing to a balanced finish) Remember that good breathing and muscle relaxation is key to building and maintaining balance.
