PRO TIP

f you visualize a birds-eye view of your address position, you can think of your feet as being on one railroad track and your club as sitting on the other railroad track. If you are right-handed and your club head is moving across that track and to the left at impact, then your swing path is “outside-in” and will cause a slice.

An outside-in path is usually the result of starting the downswing with the arms and hands instead of the legs, hips and torso. From the top of your backswing, start with the big muscles and save the smaller, faster muscles for accelerating the club head down the track. If that change makes you push your shots, that is a good sign and you just need more/faster supination and pronation (releasing of) the wrists into the follow-through.

See you at the course!

FSS Spotlight

Liane Falk

WIFI AVAILABLE:

15

Liane Falk is originally from Indiana, but knew the world was a big place lled with adventure. There is unconrmed intel and pure rumor placing her in Argentina, New Orleans, the former USSR, and enjoying a short stint in Antarctica where she was named the ice block carving champion of the southern hemisphere. We cannot conrm nor deny that she may have been born of the sea as a mermaid, however I have personally witnessed her tread water for an unimaginable length of time, and therefore am convinced that it may in fact be true. Whether or not these whispers and myths hold any validity, the world may never know. What we can denitively and legally disclose to you is that Liane Falk is a dynamic gure, often seen scaling mountains and crushing miles of on base running track before most of us get out of bed. She has been known to pluck unsuspecting creatures from the sea with the help of her son Kade, during long sunset walks on the beach with her husband... but don't worry, they always put them back.

She has the spirit of an adventurer, the talent of an artist, the care of a mother, and the love of a great man. Liane works tirelessly to provide the best possible experiences to our customers at the Outdoor Recreation Center, while simultaneously creating a fun and positive environment for her coworkers. Regardless of how true or ctional this biography may be, we think Liane Falk is 100% awesome and can't wait to spend the next three years with her and her family here in Misawa!
