I am often approached by golfers who are frustrated by the fact that they put in a fair amount of time practicing where they are satisfied with their results but somewhere between the practice tee and the first tee they lost the ‘magic’.

If this is something that troubles you, consider implementing a practice routine that more resembles how the game is actually played. As the saying goes “ Practice like you play. Play like you practice”.

In other words, practice in a more random manner never hitting two shots in a row the same. With many of our students here at The Diamond ‘in the Ruff ’ Golf Academy, we have students use what we call “The 27 Shot Challenge”. This is a checklist of shots that the student hits each time they practice and in which they rate their shot making. For many this makes their practice more fun and beneficial.

The layout is heavily wooded, with trees lining all of the fair- ways. The greens are medium sized and in great condition. The layout is great for players of all levels, incor- porating four water hazards, a few sand bunkers and unique rock outcroppings in place of sand bunkers. The scenery on this on this course is particularly beautiful in autumn when the leaves are changing. The signature hole is #5, a 325 –yard, par 4, which calls for an elevated tee shot that must avoid a pond that is 120 yards in front of the green.
