5 Golf Course Maintenance Section The Flop How to Improve YOUR Putting July is here and we are in the middle of our first full growing season! I would like to remind everyone that our golf course is still very young and it will take time in order for the grass to mature. You will notice areas of the Celebration Bermuda turning a dark blue-green color. These areas are more mature and you will see an increase of this color and turf density throughout the summer. There are many things that we do this month to help our golf course get closer to maturity. Cutting slits into the turf canopy with a slicing machine will aid in density and getting air into the root zone. Aerifying and top dressing bumpy areas with sand will help smooth the golf course out. Fertilization is key in order to grow grass and we have a great program in place. The one thing we need, and didn t get much of this spring, is rainfall. There is nothing better than a little help from Mother Nature. Chesley C. Scott GCS Atlantic Beach Country Club ValleyCrest Golf Course Maintenance Putting is one of the most important aspects of the golf game. In a round of golf, not everyone will hit a 300 yard drive, but ALL golfers will have a 5-footer. Many times someone who has issues with their putting, often struggle in two areas: LINE and SPEED. The LINE of a putt is important to putting because it determines if the ball is on the correct path to go in the hole. The SPEED of a putt dictates whether or not the ball will have enough pace to get to the hole. Below are two drills that will help you with the LINE and SPEED of your putts: Drill for LINE- Go to your local hardware store and get a Chalk Line. On the putting green at your home club or local course, find a fairly straight putt. Extend the Chalk Line 10 feet from the front of the cup so that there is small chalk line that you can see on the ground. Then practice putting from about 8 feet away on that line With the chalk line on the putting green, it will help you see not only the LINE of the putt, but you will be able to see your ball roll on that line all the way to the hole Drill for SPEED- Pick a putt that is about 20 feet long (You can use a variety of distances to help with long and short putts). With 3 golf balls, try to hit the first one about 6 inches short of the hole. On the second putt, try to make it in the center of the hole. With the third ball, try and have it stop about 6 inches past the hole. Being able to determine the slight difference in speeds on the same putt will help you develop great feel for speed on the putting green.

right, backwards or forwards? Timing your stops and starts is critical to getting to the next shot.

This pause allows the player to instantly move in the direction of the opponent s ball.

8 The SPLIT STEP is one of the keys to making more balls in the court! Lorelle Weil, Don Phillips and Jeff Woods Terry and Teresa Polistina and Dennis and Becky Rosa Are you able to get volleys or ground strokes two or three steps left, right, backwards or forwards? Timing your stops and starts is critical to getting to the next shot. Here s how to make a positive difference: The split step is a momentary pause prior to your opponents contact. This pause allows the player to instantly move in the direction of the opponent s ball. Practice being still enough to move the second the ball leaves the opponent s racquet very similar to a runner ready to leave the starting blocks of a race. Moving more timely whether it be on the baseline or at the net will help you finish with the winning shot! We will explore the split step more in depth at our next Ladies Camp July Sincerely, REB and Vasil July Junior Camps: July 7th August 7th Red Ball Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10-11am. Cost is $20 daily, $30 weekly or $100 monthly. Orange Ball Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10-11am. Cost is $20 daily, $65 weekly or $240 monthly. Full Court- Tuesday through Friday from 11am-1pm.
