  • BERNHARD LANGER Sunday, April 21, 2013
    Greater Gwinnett Championship INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT: BERNHARD LANGER Sunday, April 21, 2013 DAVE SENKO: Bernhard, congratulations, win number 18 and just a continuation of what's been a great year so far with two wins, two 2nds and a 3rd. Maybe just share your thoughts on winning by three shots, especially after to getting off to a little bit of a slow start on Friday. BERNHARD LANGER: It certainly was a slow start, I think I shot 9-under in the pro-am on Thursday and then shot 1-over the next day. I wasn't pleased with that. When I first set foot here at Sugarloaf, I really enjoyed the golf course. I said this is an amazing, good golf course, really reminded me of Augusta, same type of grass, similar tough greens and just in very good shape. I really just enjoyed playing golf here. It's a golf course where you have to think, where you have to position your shots, where you have options. You can play aggressive and if you pull it off you're going to get rewarded, and if you miss it a few you're going to get punished, and I enjoy those kind of golf courses. I was fortunate enough to play very well on the weekend and make a few putts, but hit some good shots. Today I got off to a really good start with 3-under after 5 and then especially the birdie on 5 was incredible. I think that was a really tough pin. I was surprised they even put the pin over there behind the tall tree because if you're in the middle of the fairway coming in with a 6- or 7-iron there, you can't even aim at the flag, you have to go 20 feet right or something and then it slopes off further right.

  • Addicks Earns Experience in Pursuit of LPGA Tour Great Falls Native Anderson Impressive in U.S. Mid-Amateur
    PO Box 4306, Helena MT 59604-4306 (406) 458-3359 November 2017 - Volume 7, Issue 11 Addicks Earns Experience In Pursuit of LPGA Tour Nick Dietzen, MSGA Communications Director Big Sky native Dorsey Addicks attempted to earn an LPGA Tour Card this fall. While unsuccessful in her goal for 2017, Addicks advanced and collected some success and valuable experience along the way. It has been over a decade since a Montanan was a member of the LPGA Tour. Billings standout and LPGA veteran Leslie Spalding (now coach of San Diego State’s Women’s Team) last played on tour in 2005. Addicks, a Georgia native, played college golf at Seattle University, but the 22 year-old spent many summer days on the Big Sky Resort Course and learned the game in the Treasure State. She has been a Montana resident for several years. The 2015 MSWGA Women’s Amateur Champion com- pleted her time at Seattle University last year and set her sights on continuing to play competitively on a grander stage. Dorsey Addicks This fall, Addicks decided to go after the ultimate golf goal of reaching the LPGA Tour. To qualify for an LPGA Tour Card, one must undergo a rigorous, hyper-competitive, three stage qualifying cycle. In stage one, Addicks traveled to Southern California and competed at the Dinah Shore Course at Mission Hills Country Club. She posted rounds of 70-72-69-79 for a total of 290 (+2), tied for 70th, and advanced to stage two. She then headed east to Venice, Florida, and Plantation Golf and Country Club for stage two qualifying.

  • Measure Your Wedges for More Consistency
    Measure your wedges for more consistency In all my years teaching I have seen many golfers improve their ball striking and consistency off the tee and in the fairway. In most cases however, they haven’t been able to substantially decrease their handicap due to inconsistency from within 100 yards. Since we are only required to hit 36 shots in one round of golf, over 90% of the shots taken over 36 occur within 100 yards of the green. Here are some techniques that have helped many of my students in the past few years become better and more consistent around the green. First we have to learn how to make three different length golf swings with each wedge. These swings are simply described as the ½, ¾, and full swing. Naturally the ½ half swing should feel as if you have only rotated half way back and through the ball. To check your positions, ensure that the left arm stops when it reaches a position parallel to the ground in the back swing and the right arm parallel to the ground at the end of your follow through. The three quarter swing should feel about 75 percent of the length of your full swing. Picturing a clock, your left arm would rotate back to point at 10 o’clock to complete your back swing. The follow through for this swing stops when your right arm would point to 2 o’clock. Naturally your full swing feels as if you complete the rotation back and through as if you were hitting a mid iron.

  • Golf Club Prototyping and Design for Spin Rate Tuning
    GOLF CLUB PROTOTYPING AND DESIGN FOR SPIN RATE TUNING A Senior Project submitted to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Mechanical Engineering by Cole Nygren, Jordan Wright, Jesse Yap June 2017 ABSTRACT Golf Club Prototyping and Design for Spin Rate Tuning Cole Nygren, Jordan Wright, Jesse Yap The aim of this project was to design a golf wedge capable of increasing backspin for the amateur golfer. This was accomplished by embedding a metal lattice structure behind the clubface to allow the face to elastically deform slightly upon impact. This would increase contact time between the club and ball. The mechanism of spin generation was discussed and the relationship between contact time and spin rate was established. The design was enabled by using additive manufacturing, which allowed for the generation of a metal lattice structure. An appropriate control and prototype were designed to minimize run time and material usage due to limited machine capacity. Various lattice topologies were generated and analyzed with finite element analysis. Design validation build in plastic revealed that these were not feasible due to support material generation, so X topology was used instead. After printing, player testing was conducted. The prototype design underwent plastic deformation during testing, and resulted in a significantly lower spin rate than the control. The design outlined in the report is not recommended unless changes to prevent plastic deformation are made and more testing is performed. Economic justification for the production of additive manufacturing golf club designs is made in case future designs prove viable.

  • Caddie Guide
    GETTING STARTED AS A CADDIE A GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS 49 Knollwood Road • Elmsford, NY 10523 www.mgagolf.org INTRODUCTION Caddieing is a great job. The money is good, you work outdoors and have an opportunity to meet successful and influential people, and you may even earn a college scholarship. Caddieing is an important job. It is part of golf’s heritage and part of its future. It is also a great way to learn the game of golf. This is YOUR book. Study it and ask your Caddie Manager or Golf Professional to explain anything that is not entirely clear. Knowledge of its contents will help make you a better caddie and valuable to the club and the golfers you serve. This book is published by the MGA Foundation. We believe caddies are an important part of the game of golf and together we are working to help keep young people like you active and interested in this great sport. THE CADDIE MANAGER The Caddie Manager is pivotal to the golf club industry with many responsibilities, which can materially affect the welfare of the club. The Caddie Manager is charged with the task of recruiting and scheduling caddies. He must also communicate effectively with the Golf Professional and other club staff members and can have a significant influence on the extent to which the membership enjoys the game. A professionally trained, knowledgeable and courteous group of caddies and a well-managed caddie program can help a club deal more effectively with slow play, significantly add to the number of enjoyable rounds of golf a n d enhance the club’s overall image of a first class operation.
