Thanks for this. Question…is this grip dependent? I generally play a strong grip with all of my clubs, so when I try to play the leading edge, my wrist is still in extension. When I flex/straighten it, it closes the club face. Just an observational curiosity. Thanks again.
My man, I’m super intrigued and have always been curious what kind of start up costa are involved in starting something like this? Renting out a space, the remodeling, the equipment. Also as far as instructing lessons what kind of certifications are needed? Thanks, you are inspiring
Im from scotland I got married here and ive played it a number of times always in August/September always been in fabulous condition and well worth every dollar. Not an easy course by any means especially off the back tips. Its very well designed and a risk reward course but it can punish you.
lol I remember the hole at 17:40, they put the pin at the apex of the green that day. Super tough to putt especially if you landed your approach shot on the downhill part of the green
I played there 1977-79 , driving from Jersey City. Bamboo flag sticks, scruffy conditions, 6 hour rounds, no tee times. Starter had a blackboard first come first served. Singles were fit in wherever. Course looks great now.
hmm.... I'll be staying in an air bnb at Reunion mid April trying to figure out where I'm going to play. this course looks nice. I've played Celebration a few years ago, was thinking playing there. Reunion looks nice.
Have a strong grip (3 or 4 knuckles) and an open club face on the downswing is gone. No need to worry about flexion or extension. One less thing to think about in the swing. ⛳️
glad you enjoyed the course; I live in the neighborhood that borders a lot of the course. You actually played it the way it was originally intended. Due to complaints about how 9 and 18 finished in relation to the clubhouse, they flipped the nines. Which nine would you say is the better nine to finish on? Oh...and you're right - 9 is a BEAST of a par 4.
Less is more. The waggle can extremely help most golfers. For a fade I’ll setup everything square to target slightly close my face to the target, Footline more open to club face. First waggle I give I pay attention to grip/ wrists and make sure the grip I’m applying isn’t closing the face but holding it off, next waggle is I find the middle of the ball and go to the outside of the ball to cut it, and I visualize that curve, if I visualize it’s too much I get it closer and closer to the center of the ball but staying on the outside. I hit a fade beautifully. For a draw I turn everything opposite, open the face slightly to target feet line slightly closed to face first waggle checking grip and making sure it closes down the face but not too excessive then I start from the inside of the ball and visualize the flight if it’s too much I get closer to the middle again. Works wonderfully for a fade but still working some matchups for the draw. I can carry a fade 250-260 with about 5 yards of roll out. I can hit a draw if it is a good shot about 270 but I’m half a dirty hooker half a good ball so I’m not confident with it. Make sure your club face is clean before the shot that way you can see the impact location, especially with driver, tendency is to tee the ball up too high which gives a higher margin of error hitting ball too high off the top. A lot to think about, but if you want to be good at golf have to take your time. It’s really not about the swing so much but playing the elements, playing the lies slopes, yardages etc. you’d be surprised how good your swing actually is if you stop manipulating it and setup to the layout around you.
