  • Measure Your Wedges for More Consistency

    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.

Taking place July 9-11 at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in South Lake Tahoe and televised nationally on NBC, the 2021 American Century Championship will be the strongest field in the 32-year history of the tournament. Sorenstam, the most decorated women’s professional golfer in history with over 90 worldwide wins, is making her second appearance in the American Century Championship. She finished T2 in her previous appearance in 2014. A part-time resident of Lake Tahoe, Sorenstam will use the American Century Championship as her final competitive venture before fulfilling her goal in 2021 by playing in her first USGA Championship since 2008, the U.S. Senior Women’s Open, July 29-Aug. 1. “Lake Tahoe has a special place in my heart and I’m excited to play the American Century Championship, one of my favorite events of the year, said Annika. “The competition is so fierce, the camaraderie off the course is genuine and the setting on the lake is spectacular.
  • Better Scoring Through Proper Gapping of Your Wedges Ever

    Better Scoring Through Proper Gapping of Your Wedges Ever

    Better Scoring Through Proper Gapping of Your Wedges Ever wonder why you have awkward distances in your approach shots with your wedges? This month's article from our professional instructional staff answers that question by explaining what gapping your wedges means and providing suggestions for remedying your problems. Fine tune your wedge set with proper knowledge of how your wedges work! To understand gapping, one must first understand loft, the angle that the clubface is set back from the vertical shaft. The progression of lofts throughout a set of irons creates a corresponding progression of distances that each iron will hit the ball. This is referred to as gapping. As late as 2000, the standard loft of a pitching wedge was 48 degrees; the 9 iron was 44 degrees; and the rest of the set proceeded at gaps of 4 degrees. As shown in the chart below, the sand wedge was 56 degrees, allowing for a gap wedge to be inserted at 52 degrees. The result was a perfectly spaced 4-degree gap between loft of wedges and a natural progression of distances for the golfer.

(ii) A player’s handicap should be reflective of their better performances and should not increase substantially due to a temporary loss of form. (iii) The calculation of a handicap should take into account the degree of difficulty presented at the time by the playing conditions.

    Elite Insider Circle Monthly Handicap Improver September 2016

    Elite Insider Circle Monthly Handicap Improver September 2016 Hello Fellow Golf Enthusiast, This is Jaacob Bowden. Last Month To recap last month, we had a piece from golf expert Adam Young called “Take Control of Your Game” in which he talked about his teaching process and how he helps students learn how to rectify problems without him even being there. We had a Long Drive Q&A with 4-time World Long Drive Champion Sandra Carlborg of Sweden. Some of the things I think that are worth pointing out about Sandra’s Q&A are: • She tests drivers using a Flightscope launch monitor to help dial in her equipment for maximum distance. • She has swung 117.5 mph in the World Championships. To remind you and give you some perspective on that…male amateurs and LPGA players average around 93 mph and PGA TOUR players average around 113 mph. So as you can see, club head speed is very important for distance. • She spends time in the gym to improve her body’s ability to swing. We see this over and over in these Long Drive Q&A’s. No long hitter of this caliber swings this fast naturally. They all work on their bodies. Fortunately, this is something you can do too at any age or skill level. I talked about my in-person experiences and observations attending this year’s PGA Championship at Baltusrol in New Jersey. From a handicap improving standpoint, a couple of the key things that I was reminded of are: • Lots of different swing styles and techniques can be effective on a global level, even if they aren’t the most optimal.
