The Approach to Spring


We've been washed out and chilled out of lots of golf this season.  More time to think about the Women's Club Newsletter and how to improve it.


We're pleased to introduce an instructional golf video by Sandy Wagner, Kendall Academy Instructor.  A new video will appear in every newsletter.  Sandy begins the series with Golf Swing ABC's.

The Women's Club Newsletter is dedicated to the idea of having fun with golf - and improving!  There's info on equipment, etiquette, and rules, as well as events, discounts and sales.  Anything else you'd like - just drop us a line with your suggestions:  [email protected]

clubsBuying Your First Set of Clubs
By Sandell Bennett


Does my friend Janet play tennis with a wooden racket like Bjorn Borg in the 1970's?  Not for a minute.  So after a couple of weeks using Borg-era golf clubs in her beginner lessons, she was eager to find out what new clubs could do for a someone just taking up golf. 

 

What should you consider before purchasing that first set of golf clubs?  What's the process at Miles of Golf?  What did Janet find out?

jeanDebunking Golf Myths - Part 1

Jeanne Myers, GAM Assistant Director of Rules & Competitions


"You can take the ball back on the line of flight."  True or False?

The most widespread myth is that when taking relief from a water hazard or an unplayable lie, you may take the ball back on the line of flight.  You may not do that in any circumstance!  Neither rule says anything about "line of flight."

One of the options under the water hazard rule is to drop behind the hazard - keeping the point where the ball last crossed the margin of the hazard directly between the hole and the spot on which the ball is dropped.

The unplayable ball rule has a similar option - to drop a ball behind where the ball lies unplayable, keeping that point directly between the hole and the spot on which the ball is dropped.
