Bandon Dunes - A Head Professional's Story

A few members thought it would be great if I wrote a little article about my recent trip to North America’s #1 Golf Resort – Bandon Dunes. So here is my attempt to create a bit of a visual to those that have never been, but words and pictures just doesn’t do this place justice as the only way to experience is to be there in the flesh.

It’s About Right and Left – Part Two

Want to make 2013 your best season ever? Remember this saying:

“It’s not about right and wrong, it’s about right and left (and high and low)”

Part Two - Sean RichardsonDirector of Instruction

In Part One of our instruction series, I discussed how the club face, more than any other factor, affects where the ball will go. Subsequent to the last tip, I have had several Harvest members ask me how they can keep their club square when they swing. The simple answer – grip the club in a manner that ensures a square club face.

Pro Tip: Pre-Shot Routine

Did you ever notice when you watch a Professional Golfer on TV they do the exact same thing prior to every shot? A good pre-shot routine is an effective method of improving your focus on the shot at hand. Although the pre-shot routine is very individual, a few things you may want to include are alignment, target, shot visualization and number of practice swings prior to hitting the ball. Take some time at the range and practice your routine on every shot. Practicing with a purpose will allow you ingrain your routine and transfer it to the golf course. Once you have established a comfortable pre-shot routine you will begin to notice improvement in your consistency and scores.
