April 2011 News

Happy spring everyone! First off, a very big thank you to everyone who attended March’s Jazz Night. We really enjoyed having you and we hope you enjoyed spending the evening with us. We have a few things up our sleeves for April, stay tuned for more details.

Spring break camp was a total success! Bear Creek held junior golf camp sessions during the CUSD two week spring break, we saw lots of familiar faces and several newcomers. The classes were full and the kids had a super time. We hope to see you all back this summer!

Construction update: In short - you spoke and we listened. We are eight bunkers in on the 21 bunker renovation project. One by one we’re taking the bunkers down, re-sculpting, clearing, cleaning and replenishing the sand. We’ve also completed the front entryway project; our grounds crew have spent the past few months trimming, cleaning, planting and redesigning the driveway.

We take those comment cards and surveys seriously, and we appreciate you taking the time to turn them in.

Tips from a pro

"Do you want to be more consistent?"

by PGA Teaching Professional Mike Barnett

Are you kidding? The answer for all of us is a definitive YES! So, where does it all begin? It beginsbefore we swing.

We all should absolutely have a consistent PRE-SHOT routine that includes; standing behind the ball and finding two targets. Yes, two targets!

Most golfers never have one let alone two. The first target should be a realistic destination for our ball.

The second should be an intermediate target one to three feet in front of our ball approximately in line with our balls’ final destination. It could be a dandelion, a divot, a discolored piece of grass or whatever you are able to find...
