Congratulations to Tom Burke

Dick Wesley — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:24:04 +0000

Congratulations to LCC member Tom Burke who has his 1st ever hole in one, Sunday August 22d, on hole #13 using a 8 iron. But what was equally exciting for Tom besides having his first hole in one in 35 years of playing golf was having his 9 year old son Gavin proudly witnessing the feat. For that moment in Gavin’s eyes Tom was, THE MAN. on the golf course. Good job Tom that will be a moment in both of you won’t forget.

Again congratulations to Dan and Morgan Beikirch for a job well done and thanks for all of the other members who participated.

I was told a hand-ful of players from the tournament went out afterwards and had their own little tournament. You were allowed one club and had to play with one bare foot. I looked in the books and did not see this as a club sanctioned tournament so I don’t have any results to report. But sounds like they had a good time.

How to Putt Under Pressure

Tom Moran — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 18:22:36 +0000

Most golfers have an easier time getting the ball from tee to green, but getting their scores lower comes down to the number of putts. here’s some tips to help you putt better, especially under pressure.

1. Have a good routine entrained in your mind.
2. Dedication to practice will train your muscle memory to help your stroke hold under pressure.
3. To be a consistent putter, always reminder to keep your head still.
4. For most golfers, having wrist movement in your putting stroke is a style that will not hold up well under pressure because the extra moving parts of the wrists requires more coordination and timing. Wrist movement reduces control of the distance and the direction during the stroke, often causing those 3-4 foot putts to be missed under pressure. try instead to develop a big muscle pendulum stroke (shoulders, and arms moving together in a rocking motion), which will hold up much better under pressure.
5. Select a custom putter that fits you properly and looks good to your eye. This will help your muscles to be relaxed and give you more confidence when facing the pressure of putting.
