Waveland Golf Course
Week 7 - June 17
Week 7 - June 17
We had a hot summer day last week with 108 golfers challenging the course. Stan Siuta was closest to the pin on #3; newcomer Will Norman had young guy long drive on #5; Frank Corday joined the the old guys with long drive on #2; and Bob Purkey won the real old guy long drive for the second week in a row on #7. (No one signed up for longest putt.) Still have not heard of outstanding performances from others. Please send a note along when you or a playing partner does something you think is special.
Rich Zaber asked me to remind everyone that skin care is very important to protect from the sun. Rich should know as he has had many procedures to remove cancerous cells on his face and body as a result of years of not doing so. There are many of us who have yearly procedures. If you are not one, you most likely will be if you don't use proper protection. Please lather up during these hot summer days.
Our Waveland Mens League World Cup Happy Hour is Tuesday, June 16 3-6pm at The Reservoir (844 W. Montrose). Join us and have a brew with your friends and see how the rest of the world watches a great game between tournament favorite France and Senegal. (Doors open at 2 for the start of the game.)
Thanks

Lesson of the Week

Lesson of the Week

Lead hand grip (left hand for righties)
We went over the three basic trail hand grip positions
(right hand for righties) last week and how it should match your natural hand position as well as your swing plan.
We didn’t talk about the lead hand grip (left hand for righties)- so this week we’ll talk about the lead hand grip.
Again the focus is KISS and this will help you in squaring the club face with the target at impact
.
The attached very short video makes it simple. One of the keys is the pad on your lead hand and I think of this pad as my second thumb on that hand. Notice in this short video how, with the hand relaxed, the club fits in the fingers not the palm of your hand and the pad on your hand acts like your second thumb. Griping your lead hand is simple and only takes a second but is a big key (along with last week’s trail hand lesson) that will help you get better control of your club face.

Now try it on the practice tee - first grip the club with the lead hand as shown in video below then grip the club with your natural trail hand position (last week’s lesson). Once you have this technique down it only takes a second to properly grip the club with both hands (lead hand first then trail hand) and it’s so important to do it on every shot going forward rather your playing or practicing. With this lead hand grip and your natural trail hand grip matching your swing plan you will be more consistent in square your club face at impact. Hope this helps and Good Luck.
