Check Your Golf Gear

Maximizing your current swing – Before going to the gym for more muscle, check to make sure your golf clubs are giving you maximum results for your existing swing & speed.

Short shots – Are you selecting the proper lofts for shots around the greens? And, evaluate your putter…are you getting best results from it? Perhaps a change is in order.

Slick grips? – It doesn’t take long for grips to degrade and lose their tackiness. Are you having to grip down too tightly on them, impeding your swing?

Any of the issues above are easily solved with a club-fitting session. Make an appointment with the Woodbridge Pro Staff!

Golf Rules

Last Month’s Question –

A player makes a stroke at their ball that lies in a greenside bunker. The ball comes to rest over the green and out of bounds. The player is now required to take stroke-and distance relief by dropping a ball in the bunker. Before playing the next stroke, the player smooths the sand in the bunker in caring for the course. What’s the ruling?

Answer –

When the player is required or allowed by the Rules to take stroke-and-distance relief by dropping a ball in the bunker, the player may not smooth sand in the bunker to care for the course without penalty.

This Month’s Question –

In Four-Ball stroke play with side A-B and side C-D playing together, after A plays from the 2nd teeing area, but before any other player plays, B discovers that B has mistakenly carried fifteen clubs from the start due to a club that they failed to remove at the range before the round. What is the ruling?
