Disarmament Down time at home on this Saturday evening- especially after watching some wild WM Open activity this week on tv, and in person, has lead me to share some musings about interesting scenarios that arise at one's own golf club, at which one has had a hand in the development and design thereof. What a great life all of us have had in the design and construction business, creating these entities that people enjoy on a regular basis. I sometimes forget how interesting it is for most golfers to want to understand the underpinnings, the where-to-fors, the whys of what they are experiencing. Sometimes in depth; sometimes in just a passing manner. With more discretionary time to spend at our club gym, practice areas and course, comes more exposure to those that may have questions about what was implemented- especially with new members, as our club has experienced a large scale turnover from the original members of 28 years ago. I now have an even deeper respect for how my long time boss Tom Fazio has handled such things with aplomb, humor and grace. Having seen first hand his respect for all questions, and his skill in explaining, with a charming and disarming ability, all things golf, I am finally beginning to learn how to apply these techniques to the increasingly frequent encounters I personally have had over the past 10 years. I feel that those who have more interesting questions and perceptions than typical, need to be awarded in recognition of their deeper thinking about what this game, and the surface created upon which this game is played, means to them. So... hopefully they can accept, with the same sense of humor their critiques are accepted, this small token of their achievement that I have created and pass along. And with the same tongue-in-cheek sensibility...

Set the arm like this…     If you set the arm like this it can cause you to drag the club too much like so and get too stuck at the top of your swing. Rather than internally rotating your trail arm, try externally rotating it then moving your hand to grip the club, this allows you to set the club in a much better position at the top of the swing which make the downswing so much easier to do. #golftips #golfdrills #golfswing #golfcoach #golfdriver #golfirons

💭 Tip Tuesday with Head Golf Professional, Rob Sutton at Hampshire Country Club located in Mamaroneck, NY.⁠ ⁠ "Perfect Your Putting"⁠ ⁠ Do you want to make more putts? Of course you do, but what should you be working on you may ask? The face of the putter is 4 times more important than the path of the putting stroke for direction. Being said, you must focus more on your clubface at impact than the path of your stroke. Below is a great drill you can perform at home or on the putting green. First off, get yourself a dead or new 9V battery. Place it on the ground and point it at your target. If the battery squirts to the left or right, the face is not square to the target. See if you can tap the battery and make it slide straight. When the battery slides straight, your putter face is perfectly square to the line. ⁠ ⁠ Try this drill and you will be making more putts and enjoying yourself more on the Golf Course.

When setting up your swing, here's a quick routine to make sure your club head is in the optimal position: Assume your address position and initiate the club's backward movement. From there, halt once the club shaft aligns parallel to the ground and verify that the clubhead aligns with your hands by glancing back. Regard this step as your unique waggle, a personal touch that ensures your swing remains precisely on target.

Is your Jar #Full? In a simple yet profound demonstration, the speaker compares life to a jar, carefully filling it with golf balls, pebbles, and sand. Through this, he explains that the golf balls represent the most important aspects of life #family, #friends, #health, and passions. The pebbles stand for other meaningful things like your job, car, and home, while the sand represents the small, trivial things. The lesson ❓ If you focus too much on the small stuff, you’ll crowd out what truly matters. #Prioritize the golf balls—because the rest is just sand. #AtharJ #hospitality #trendingpost #trendingnow #trends2024 #motivation

🏌️♂️Is Your Drive Falling Short? Adjust Your Tee, Maximize Your Distance! 🏌️♂️ Did you know? The height at which you tee up your golf ball can dramatically impact your drive. Tee it high, and you’re set up for a higher, longer drive with a sweeping motion that maximizes distance. On the flip side, tee it low for a lower, penetrating ball flight that cuts through the wind and rolls farther down the fairway. Your approach to teeing up isn’t just about preference—it’s about strategy. Whether you're aiming to carry over a hazard or drill it down the middle of the fairway, mastering your tee height can be the difference between a good shot and a great one.
