The View Point

 

The golf course was actually open the first two weeks of January before the snow hit the fan. Guess we’ll have to wait till next January to take a group to Hawaii. There are some great packages available and it will be fun. Speaking of fun, we have some activities planned this year that you won’t want to miss. Beginning with the “Masters Sweeps”, we plan to offer a new wrinkle to help your net score so you won’t have to rely totally on your handicap. We’ll provide more information about that later. We opened the Practice Range on Feb. 17^th. We should open the course in March, weather permitting.

Bob Shipley “aced” hole #13 (125 yards) on Tuesday January 5^th.

Last year, hole #13 was “aced” seven times! Looks like a good place to get your first “ace”.

 

 

Joe Bonchonsky and Keith Wood shared the honor of winning the most bag tags that said, “I Beat The Pro at Mount Shasta Resort”.  We won’t make it so easy this year !

There are basic fundamentals to consistent golf. You need the proper posture, grip, grip pressure, alignment, stance, ball position, rhythm, tempo, and excellent eye and hand coordination. If you can achieve all that, then you need a good attitude and a little luck. Your friends can tell you what you’re doing wrong, but it takes a Pro to tell you how to do it right.

 

 

What is the most important shot in golf?  Answer: Your next one.

 

 

Ok, you know how to play golf, but do you know the best way to play Hole #1 at Mount Shasta Resort? Here’s a few suggestions:

 

         

Hole #1 is not a long hole and the “big hitters” can get there in two.

The average golfer must play smart. If you keep your tee shot in the fairway, and hit your second shot within 150 or 100 yards out, you still have a tough downhill lie to a green that slopes away from you. There is a hazard to the right, bunkers right and left, and you don’t want to go long. The green is long and narrow with lots of slope. It’s a great starting hole… or not.  P.S. Bring your camera.
