Winter/Snow Season
We kindly ask that you refrain from winter activities on both of our golf
courses during the winter season. We do not allow tubing, tobogganing,
sledding, saucering, skiing, snowboarding or any other winter activity on
either course during winter months. Damage caused by these activities
becomes apparent in the spring and playing conditions are greatly
sacrificed. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Golf Tip — Putting
As we move into winter and temperatures prevent many of us from heading out to the golf course, take the opportunity to work on simple putting
fundamentals in the comfort of your own home.
I recommend a few basic fundamentals – ball placed slightly left of center (for right handers), eyes over ball and equal back, equal through
with the putter head. Remember that the motion of the putter includes shoulders, arms, hands, putter grip and putter head all working at the same
tempo. Putting is not just a hand activity if you are striving for consistency. PGA and LPGA tour players have tempos of 62–72 beats per minute
regardless of the length of putt they face.
Short putt = short back and slower through – at X tempo | Long putt = longer back and faster through – ALSO at X tempo
You can purchase an inexpensive app for your smartphone to monitor your tempo. I use Metron.
Need help with putting this winter? Have your putting stroke evaluated on our TOMI Putting Stroke Analyzer at the country club golf shop
with Stuart Smith, our PGA director of golf, for $40. Stuart can be reached at 787-1800 ext 705 or email him at ssmith@somersett.com to set an
appointment.
