What is the worst feeling in golf? How about hitting a ball into a bunker and walking up to the ball and seeing it in the middle of a foot print. It instantly changes your mood certainly if you are a good bunker player. We can all do our part to help each other and rake the bunkers behind us. If you follow thest tips it will make everyone happier about being in a bunker! 

1. Find the Right Bunker Entry/Exit Point – The first step to good raking is to minimize the raking that’s needed. The best spot to enter and exit the bunker is the lowest spot along the edge of the bunker, closest to your ball. This avoids deeper impressions in the bunker from coming off a high spot, and minimizes footprints in the sand.
2. Take the Rake With You – Before you step into the bunker, find the rake and carry it with you to where you will make your shot. This also minimizes foot steps and speeds up the raking process.
3. Play Your Shot – Drop the rake behind you, out of your way, but within reaching distance. Play your shot.
4. Back Out of Bunker Raking as You Go – Remember to rake the following areas: the path the ball made in the sand after landing; the spot where you put the rake; where your club contacted the sand; and all your footprints. Pull the rake towards you with the goal of levelling the marks to the surrounding surface of the sand.
5. Step Out of the Bunker and Finish Raking – After you have finished levelling the sand, place the rake outside the bunker, on the side away from the hole, parallel to the line of play. Some courses may have different guidelines for rake replacement. Check your scorecard or rules posted in the Pro Shop.

With the nice weather starting to roll in we will start to see an increase of rounds played every day. We can all do our part to keep the course in pristine playing condition. The little things go a long way no spitting on the greens, raking the bunker after you hit from there, and fixing ball marks on the greens. Below is the proper way to repair a ball mark.

What an incredible sight it was yesterday watching Tiger put on the green jacket for a 5th time. It was a day that will go down as one of the greatest sporting moments in history. This marks career major 15, he now only needs 3 more to tie Jack's record, and 4 to pass. With victories at Bethpage Black (PGA Championship) and Pebble Beach (US Open), which are both hosting majors this year, could Tiger get to 16 or even 17 Majors before the year is over? What an exciting time for golf and hopefully many more victories in the future for Tiger!

Augusta originally planned to have a 19th hole, at the request of Bobby Jones. The idea was to have an extra hole so a losing golfer could have an another opportunity to win back his money in a game of double or nothing. It was to be 90-yards long, uphill towards the clubhouse between the 9th and 18th greens. The idea was dropped partly because of economic reasons and partly because it would impede the view to the 18th green for patrons watching the Masters.

April 8th 

Ever wonder how the holes at the Masters got their name? Before becoming a golf course, Augusta National was owned by Fruitland Nurseries until 1931 when it was purchased by Bobby Jones and Clifford Robinson. As a nursery, plants from all over the world were brought in to be grown. This is how the Azalea became so popular at the golf course. In the end the names for each hole came from the plant or tree that was grown in that area of the nursery.

Hole-by-Hole guide (Hole Name/Characteristic)

1. Tea Olive- Fragrant shrub with white flowers

2.Pink Dogwood- Tree with pink blossoms

3.Flowering Peach- Flower can be seen in shades of white, pink and red

4.Flowering Crab Apple- Tree with pink and rose-colored blossoms

5.Magnolia- Tree features large white blossoms

6.Juniper- Small trees with fragrant wood

7.Pampas- Grass with plumelike flowers

8.Yellow Jasmine- Vine of the flower shows its color

9.Carolina Cherry- Tree characterized by small white flowers

10.Camellia- Flowers with different colors depending on variety

11.White Dogwood- Tree with distinctive white flowers

12.Golden Bell- Flower flourishes behind green

13.Azalea- Multiple varieties of signature shrub line left side of hole from tee to green

14.Chinese Fir- Exotic plant features ornamental cones

15.Firethorn- Plant shows small white flowers in spring

16.Redbud- Tree with pinkish blossoms

17.Nandina- Oriental shrub features creamy flowers

18.Holly- Small tree with prickly leaves and red berries

As we all start to get our first few warm-up rounds under our belts, I thought it might be a good idea to review a few of the new rule changes over the next few weeks. I’d like to start with a new adjustment to the rule regarding a ball going out of bounds (O.B.). Here is an excerpt from USGA.org concerning this rule change:

Purpose. When a provisional ball has not been played, significant issues with pace of play can result for a player needing to take stroke-and-distance relief for a ball that is out of bounds or cannot be found. The purpose of this Local Rule is to allow a Committee to provide an extra relief option that allows a player to play on without returning to the location of the previous stroke.
This option allows the player to drop in a large area between the point where the ball is estimated to have come to rest or gone out of bounds and the edge of the fairway of the hole being played that is not nearer the hole.
The player gets two penalty strokes when using this relief option. This means that the relief is comparable to what could have been achieved if the player had taken stroke-and-distance relief.

USGA also posted the following diagram to help better explain the new change:

Hopefully this can help improve pace-of-play as the new rules are intended to improve all aspects of the game. Check back in upcoming blogs for more on rule changes, new equipment, swing tips, and more!

This month the 15^th  & 16^th holes has been going through a makeover. The tee boxes on 15 were re done and have been growing in nicely. The bunker on the right side has been pushed back another 20yards and an additional bunker was built on the left side. On 16 the tee box has been lowered to make the hole play to a truer yardage. Between the holes mounds were added similar to the ones between 10 & 18. The changes are really going to add to the aesthetics of the course.

A reminder that all pro shop credit must be spent by October 22^nd, make sure you spend it as soon as possible as the inventory will start to dwindle down this fall.

It helps us maintain our membership rates as one of the best values in the state and also give us a chance to show off our beautiful golf course. As we head into the middle of September, there are only a few more weeks to take advantage of our membership rate specials, they will be running until September 30th. Lastly a big congratulations goes out to Richard Leveque for an ace on the 13th hole Tuesday night!

Our ladies league wrapped up this week and we ended up with a three way tie for first place! Congratulations to the teams of Jan Davio & Donna Micucci, Connie Manus & Sylvia Prive, and Christy Ebbs & Shannon Boudreau well done ladies! Thank you to all the teams that showed up and competed all year. It was a battle all year, not just amongst the teams, but with the weather it seemed like every Wednesday rain was in the forecast! Great season ladies, we are looking forward to another great year in 2018.
