July 20 Grand Lake Golf Report
In the rough?? Don’t panic.
The key is to make sure that you’re in control of your club as you swing through the rough. When you’re swinging the club in that thick stuff the grass is going to naturally grab and close your clubface. This is particularly dangerous around the greens. If you’re trying to hit a delicate shot and then have too much follow through, chances are your club-speed will be the same as the ball-speed, a recipe for disaster, that can lead to a double-hit.”
So how do you prevent that from happening and limit the clubface from closing?
If you’re a right-handed player, focus on the last three fingers of your left hand on the grip (opposite for lefties), Grip the club tightly with those fingers. This will help you to stop the club from over-closing. Also, minimize your follow-through so you don’t have to worry about that double-hit I already mentioned. The goal is to have enough speed to get through the grass, but also be in control of the head on the follow through so you don’t hit the ball twice.”

Golf joke of the week
An Octogenarian who was an avid golfer moved to a new town and joined the local Country Club. He went to the Club for the first time to play but was told there wasn't anybody he could play with because they were already out on the course.
He repeated several times that he really wanted to play. Finally the Assistant Pro said he would play with him and would give him a 12 stroke handicap. The 80 year old said,
"I really don't need a handicap as I have been playing quite well. The only real problem I have is getting out of sand traps." And he did play well. Coming onto the 18th the old man had a long drive, but it landed in one of the sand traps around the hole. Shooting
from the sand trap he hit a very high ball which landed onthe green and rolled into the hole! The Pro walked over to the sand trap where his opponent was still standing. He said "Nice shot, but I thought you said you have a problem getting out of sand traps?"
"I do!" replied the Octogenarian, “Could you give me a hand?”
