THE GOLF COURSE :

The CGM golf course is an 18-hole, championship layout approximately 6400 yards in length. Par is 72 from the men's white and blue tees and 73 from ladies yellow tees. Although not particularly long, the course features narrow, tree-lined fairways that dog leg left and right, as well as small, tricky greens. The course winds through the exclusive Meadows Estates neighborhood and is relatively easy to walk. Best known for its natural Poanna greens, the course provides an excellent challenge for recreational and competitive golfers alike.

GOLF NEWS & HAPPENINGS

Playing the Ball from a Divot
Divots are part of the game. No matter who you are or how long you have played we have all had the opportunity to hit this shot. Very few people practice this shot, and so naturally the majority of these shots are not hit as well as they should be. Even though this shot does carry a good amount of difficulty, with the proper guidance we can all breathe easy the next time we find ourselves in this situation.

Common Mistakes from Divots

Trying to hit the ball high

Scooping the ball (helping it up), instead of hitting down and through the ball

Pre-Swing Thoughts

Try to keep the flight lower

Take more club for the yardage

Allow for a left to right ball flight

Tempo, tempo, tempo

Stance and Setup

Ball position should be in the middle of your stance (the ball should be aligned with your belt buckle)

Take a narrow stance; set your feet slightly open

Open the club face

Grip down on the club 1-2 inches

Swing

Set your wrists early

Swing down through the ball, while keeping the club face open

Commit to the shot and finish the golf swing
