Pro’s Tip of the Month: Use your legs! I see a lot of golfers who use their upper body to hit the ball with little or no movement from the waist down. During the down swing try to kick the right knee in toward the left and finish with your weight on the left side & your right foot resting on your toe. Go on give it a try!

Coming soon – Thanks to PGC member Mick Longton of Baker Atlas we will soon have a 2 bay practice shelter on the old 2^nd tee – no more lessons in the rain!!
