From the Lesson Tee by Justin Hicks
Greetings!
I hope this newsletter finds you doing well. It's hard to believe that summer is almost over and Labor Day is just around the corner. I had a great summer and enjoyed having family in town for a visit. As you can see by the picture on the left, my two sons really enjoyed their time playing with their cousins, especially when swimming was involved.
In the rest of the newsletter; you will see that quite a few of you are having career low rounds and the dates for the upcoming Play with the Pro sessions. In addition, I recently began posting swing videos of the weekly winner on the PGA Tour on www.youtube.com, under jhflog, and www.facebook.com, under hicksgolf. I hope you find them helpful and interesting to watch. As you will notice, they all have somewhat different swings, but are all able to create a correct and repetitive impact.
Play with the Pro
I want to thank all of those who participated in the last Play with the Pro sessions. I always enjoy having an opportunity to spend time with students on the course and getting to know them better. For the price of a one hour lesson ($120) you get a 9 hole playing lesson (green fee and cart included) and a video summary of what was discussed on the course with footage from the round. Playing lessons present the best opportunity to have all aspects of your game analyzed. In addition to helping you right away with your course management and ability to make on course adjustments to improve your ball flight, playing lessons provide the basis for prioritizing future lessons ensuring that the student is working on what will help them the most in lowering their score.
Admiral Baker South will be the site of our next Play with the Pro sessions. The nine holes should last anywhere from two to two and a half hours and you are welcome to play the back nine as well. You may share this invitation with your friends to help complete your group. Our group will consist of myself and three students. If the dates listed below do not work with your schedule, please let me know and we can arrange for a different date.
