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!

USGA RULES OF THE GAME
Rules 101 - Basic Rules of The Game Welcome to Rules 101! Upon completion of this course, you will have a very solid foundational knowledge of the Rules and will be equipped to navigate the majority of Rules situations you might encounter during a round of golf. Rules 101 focuses on the playing Rules, especially those used or encountered most frequently by golfers. This course is appropriate for anyone new to the game or to the Rules, but also for nearly anyone who does not already have advanced knowledge of the Rules. To access this course, you will be prompted to create a free account (or login to an existing account in our system). This is required to capture and store your progress through the course. If you have any questions or any difficulties with this course, please feel free to reach out to the USGA Rules Department at rules@usga.org or 908-326-1850. Happy learning!
Follow this link for course modules on the Rules of The Game.
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!
