Golf Tip of the Week

Better Chipping

Chipping and putting are two areas of the game where everyone can improve. Improve your chipping and putting, and you’ll significantly reduce your handicap. The touring pros spend more time practicing their short games than all of their other shots combined. How many weekend golfers can say the same? The most important aspect of chipping is to make sure that your lead wrist doesn’t break down during the chipping motion. The moment your wrist breaks down, two things happen: The loft of the club changes, which alters the trajectory and the roll (inconsistent distances will result); and your arm also breaks down, which can result in bladed shots that go screaming across the green.To ensure that neither of these things happen, work on keeping your arm straight and your wrist firm during the shot. If you’re having difficulties, place a rubber band around your lead wrist and slide the butt end of the club under it, holding the club close to your wrist. This will give you the correct feel when chipping the ball.

Golf Course Update

Dear Cuscowilla Friends,

Just wanted to give everyone a little update on our Golf Operations. Starting this weekend, we will be opening every Friday - Saturday - Sunday (excluding Christmas Day). The golf course will be closed on Monday, and temporary greens Tuesday through Thursday. We will reassess this at the beginning of the year, when our new Golf Course Superintendent is here full-time.

The Golf Shop Christmas Sale will continue to run through the end of the year. There is still a nice selection of winter merchandise in the shop so stop by and let us help you finish up those last minute gifts. All apparel 25% - 60%!

For more information, please call the Cuscowilla Golf Shop at 706-485-0094.

Golf Tip of the Week

Don’t Fear The Result

The greatest interference on swinging freely is the result of an unwanted shot. Be willing to accept the result a shot might produce, and feeling you can handle whatever the future holds, removes the interference that comes with fear.

Golf Tip of the Week

Mental Thoughts

The one important mental thought that most amateurs lack is the focus on the target. The mind works best when your aiming points are very small and specific. The only thing you should think about when setting up to hit a shot and before you take the club back is the target you are aiming at. It will help you eliminate any negative thoughts before the swing is initiated.
