Alright, let's take a light-hearted stroll through the world of flexibility and how it affects our bodies!
Picture this: you're like a bendy straw, able to twist and turn without a care in the world. But if you're as stiff as a board, your posture might start resembling a question mark – not ideal!

During the past two months, we have been working on developing a plan to remodel the Pro Shop basement, to make it a more functional space and provide a better overall experience for members wishing to utilize the golf simulator. Part of this process has been to research new simulators on the market and see what would enhance that space. Our current simulator was purchased in 2009, and is becoming obsolete and behind from a technological standpoint.
Our wish for you for 2024 is that you will renew your passion for the game and that you will play your best golf yet. We believe that game improvement should never be a one-size fits-all approach so tell us what YOUR goal for your game is this year and we will help you make it happen!

With the driver, many golfers, especially those shooting in the 90s, impart too much spin, especially left-to-right spin (for right-handers) on the golf ball. Contact towards the toe adds to the challenge and robs the golfer of even more distance. Check out this week's newsletter to find out more: https://bit.ly/3QI4mMJ
