Putting Tips
 | | Cross Handed Grip |
Golf Grip
Putting Cross Handed: For children and beginners a great putting tip is to begin putting cross handed and never change. This method is a very effective way to consistently achieve solid contact with the ball.
Putting Stroke
Grip Pressure: Focus on equal grip
pressure in
both hands
the entire
stroke. The amount of pressure
should be a four on a scale of one to 10 with
10 being as hard as you can squeeze the club.
 Putting Tempo: To improve tempo in the putting stroke allow the arms and hands to free up and swing without restriction. Putt through the Ball: Pretend there is no ball and make a stroke with no thought of the golf ball. Take a practice stroke and just let the ball get in the way... Read more... |

Golf Green Tip of the Month
Summer is beginning and the weather is warm. Drinking plenty of healthy water is essential in order to stay hydrated and operating at your optimum level physically and mentally. Filtered water should have no lead, chlorine, herbicides, pesticides or industrial solvents in it. Filtering the tap water with a good filter or buying certain bottled natural mineral water allows you to avoid ingesting harmful chemicals. Filtering water has a smaller ecological footprint than purchsing bottled water. If you choose to filter your water, ensure that it filters all the harmful chemicals in the water and adds minerals back in. There are many good water filters on the market. One we would recommend is the Amwater Actify Water Treatment System by Amega Global. This water sysetm features:
- Purification: The silver Activate Carbon Filtration removes impurities and kills germs organically, resulting in a much healthier and tastier water.
- Ionization: Five Electrolytic cell plates that produces alkalized ionized micro-clustered water at one end of the plate and acidic ionized micro-clustered water at the other end, thus allowing 8 different ph levels of water to choose from.
- Alkalinity: Many foods and drinks we consume, as well as other environemntal elements, metabolize into acid, furthering the body's acidic level. The addition of alkaline water helps to cut the acidity and balance the body into it's natural state of about 7.
- Mineral Supplement: Calcium can be added back into the water after filtration furthering ionization process. Ionized calcium is easily absorbed into the body, assisting in alkalinizing effect.
- Amized Fusion Techonology: This filter resonates with zero-point force energy and releases blockages in the flow of energy in the body.
If you're interested in purchasing one of these water machines please contact Dawn Lewis at jllewis@jllewisgolftips.com. Read more about healthy water here. (JLLewis BA 26425463)

Toshiba Classic
 | | Toshiba Classic |
The Champions Tour traveled to Newport Beach, California for the Toshiba Classic at Newport Beach Country Club in March. The event is well supported by all the surrounding areas and the tournament gives generously to charity each year. The golf course has undulating greens that take some experience to read as the ocean has an affect on the ball. Uphill putts towards the ocean are just as quick as downhill putts away from the ocean. This takes some time to get a feel for and presents a challenge.
 | | Solar Score Board |
The course is a good layout with a mix of par 4's that give players options off the tee with good risk reward. The par 5's are reachable for long hitters but tricky around the greens, and the par 3's have character and length. This is
a good test of golf that is fun to play and provides excitement for the fans. Toshiba is a great sponsor and the tournament is well run and fun to be a part of...
