BULLDOG’S CORNER, volume 9 |
| Bulldog's Corner, Volume 8 The following six topics I believe can truly change your game altogether. I hope you all had an opportunity to put into practice the second two topics I covered last time. However, before I go any further, I will briefly review all six for you: 1.Swing Technique 2. Practice 3. Physical Conditioning 4. Mental Strength 5. Special Knowledge 6. Equipment Technique The two topics that will be covered this week are: Special Knowledge and Equipment Technique. Special Knowledge: If you have watched any golf over the last several months, I am sure you have noticed how some of the older players on the PGA Tour have managed to play and still compete at a high level. Take Kenny Perry, for example. He is 48 years old, and still managing to win and/or finish top-10 in several recent PGA tournaments. How can that be? It is the "special knowledge" that has been learned from experience. As a person ages they can compensate for the physical loss by learning what we could call "Technical tricks" that can make you a smarter golfer. But if youth can learn these "tricks" earlier, then watch out! Here are some examples: Tight lies - When you find your ball resting in a divot or on hardpan, you can still produce a good shot by compensating for it in your setup. All you have to do is move your sternum three to six inches toward the target. By moving your sternum and the club shaft forward, it will guarantee you will hit the ball first. Expect the ball to fly at a lower trajectory with more roll because you are taking loft off of the club. Uneven lies - Knowing how to compensate and adjust for uneven lies is very important. You don't always get a flat lie like you do on the driving range! Here are some pointers on the general direction the ball will go on these uneven lies: Uphill - The ball will curve more left Downhill - Ball will curve right Ball above feet - Ball will curve left Ball below feet - Ball will curve right Altering the scene - If you are faced with a 50-yard shot over the bunker to a tight pin, rather than tightening up and getting nervous, try this instead: Turn either left or right so that the bunker is no longer in your line. Pick a spot ahead in the grass that is equal distance to where the flag is on the green. Make some practice greens imagining you are going to this spot. It's just a straightforward shot, no bunker, no trouble, no problems! Now turn to your real target on the green and do exactly what you felt when the bunker wasn't there. You'll be more relaxed and the shot will come easier. Equipment Technique It still amazes me during my lessons how many people don't have clubs that are fitted for them. I've even heard during these lessons people say they are making a swing to fit their clubs, rather than the clubs fitting their swing. If you haven't had a club fitting, I encourage you to make sure your clubs are designed to work for you. As an example, if your "lie angle" (the angle between the center of the shaft and the sole) is 2 degrees off, your shots will go 20 feet off-line. Therefore, it is impossible to hit a straight shot with a square clubface with the wrong lie angle. This is a simple test that I can check in 5 minutes. So whatcha waiting for? Stop by the shop to have yours checked out! Happy Golfing! |

States Best - The ONSC again was voted the best private and 2nd best overall (behind Pinehurst #2) golf course in the state by the panelist of the North Carolina Magazine. This rating of the 2 best courses has been the same for as long as the rankings have been in existence, but we continue to close the gap! Thank you to the panelists who think like we do and congratulations to us!
