Golf Tips

  • February 2025
  • BY BILL CONNELLY, MANAGER OF GOLF OPERATIONS

Everyone is seeking more distance off the tee. Below are three things you can do to help you get more distance for your ball.

  • When teeing the ball up with the driver, make sure that you can see at least half of the ball above the top of the club.
  • When you set up to the ball, you want it forward in your stance in line with your front heel. Your feet should be at least shoulder width apart, to create a stable base and room to make a full shoulder turn.
  • As you swing back, you want to make sure to complete your backswing and keep your head steady through impact.

Be sure to sign up for the Shirts and Skirts Golf Scramble on February 1, at 12:30 p.m., the Pink Ball Scramble on February 22, at 9 a.m. Also, remember the weekly 9-hole scramble every Tuesday at 3 p.m.
