GOLF TIPS

The Can't-Miss Putting Grip

asdBy Brad Brewer,
Golf Academy President


The problem:
You struggle with rolling the ball on target. The reason could be that you grip the handle in your fingers like you do with your irons and woods. This allows your wrists to hinge, which is good for full swings but bad for putting.

ORLANDO AREA MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES    SUMMER/FALL  2011

Just when greens are at their best the aerification process begins. A necessary evil to maintain healthy putting surfaces, the average healing time in the summer months is about 14-21 days, some courses healing faster than others depending on the type of grass involved. Most courses will aerify 2-3 times between now and the fall. We will update this chart as aerifications occur to keep you informed.

Be sure to check out the Golf Specials category for any aerification promotions and discounts.

OVERSEED SCHEDULES POSTED BELOW..... ANOTHER NECESSARY EVIL DURING OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER LOCALLY. ONCE THEY OVERSEED, IT'S USUALLY CART PATH ONLY FOR A WEEK OR TWO WHILE THE NEW GRASS TAKES HOLD. AS A RESULT THE GRASS HAS TO GET A LITTLE LONGER BEFORE IT CAN BE CUT, SLOWING DOWN SOME GREENS AND FAIRWAYS. MANY COURSES DO NOT NEED TO SEED THE GREENS, JUST TEES AND FAIRWAYS.
