From The Rockpile Tip of the week By Quinn Ourada Assistant Golf Professional
Hit Crisp Chips What you will need: Full Length Towel, A Wedge and Practice Balls Step 1: Take a full length towel (not one of our green towels) and place both ends under arms and across the chest. Step 2: Grip wedge and take stance with the towel under your arms. Step 3: Keep the towel under your arms as you turn through the shot. This drill will help you stay connected through your swing. You will start to feel your torso and arms move as one piece. Try this the next time you are practicing your chips around the green and watch as the ball starts to stop closer to the hole!

"Innovation has long been the bloodline of the Spider franchise. From its optimized stability frame to its countless victories on worldwide tours, every Spider putter is designed to deliver pure performance. With Spider GT, we have created our most angular and most stable Spider ever using a new modern wing construction similar to other high stability Spider putters of the past. With the removal of weight from the center of Spider GT, we have unlocked higher MOI and more stability from every angle." - Bill Price, Senior Director Product Creation, Putters

USGA RULES OF THE GAME
History of The Rules of the Game This week we take a trip back in time. The USGA has compiled a fantastic resource for the public to learn how the rules of the game have changed over the years! Did you know that the Rules of the Game have been around since 1744!?! The Society of Golfers at Aberdeen code of 1783 introduced the principle of "the honor" off the tee and remaining quiet while others play. These concepts still remain in the Rules to this day. Additionally, this 1783 code introduced the idea of a limited time to search for a lost ball.

Through the Green DO YOU KNOW HOW TO FIX BALL MARKS? The average golfer will make 8 ball per round. This means that if 150 people play the course per day this equals 1,200 ball marks per day. Multiply that by 365 days in a year (438,000 ball marks) and your greens will begin to resemble swiss cheese. We can all do our part by fixing ball marks. This will keep the course enjoyable for everyone and consequentially cause more putts to drop!
