Plumas Pines Women's Golf Tuesday, Oct. 18 The golf season is slowly coming to a close, Our golf course is readying itself for the winter months, therefore, the women's club format was to play the front nine twice and take the best score on each hole. There was a tie for low gross: Jackie Lucky and Jan Talbott with a score of 47. First low net: Connie Raheb scoring a 25-1/2. Second low net: Mary Peters scoring a 32-1/2.

Sometimes it's stories about past shots or profanities about the latest shot or ad- vice about the next shot. Here are some common things golfers advise other golfers to do, along with my thoughts on them. Never up, never in. One of my least favorite shots in golf is a short putt that is on- line and stops just short of the hole. Of course I don't want to hit the putt so hard the ball goes four feet past the hole, but "never up, nev- er in" always adds another stroke to my score. So on short putts without much break, I hit the ball hard enough to get it to the back of the hole, not just .... , bar &gdll PLUMAS PINES : GOLF RESORT $ 5 5 per player including cart Valid Any Day of the Week NOW through the end of the 2011 Season BIG GOLF SHOP SALE www.plumaspinesgolf.com For Tee Times & Information: 530-836-1420 402 Poplar Valley Road • Graeagle, California m m U m m m m m m m m m m • Coupon Good for 1 to 4 players • Must Present Coupon at Time of Check-In • Valid 7 Days A Week , With W00er O.e, • Good Through End of 2011 Season $55 °' O, U I pI Per Player O!

Short game guru Dave Pelz wants us to hit the ball so that if it doesn't go in, it finishes 17 inches beyond the hole, not 16 or 18, but 17, He has his reasons. Pelz also tells us from 8 feet; most touring profession- als make only 50 percent of their putts. But they rarely three-putt because they get the distance right, whereas most amateurs fail to get the distance right on the first putt which leads to long sec- ond putts and often to three putts. Which leads to what kind of putter are you? Do you die your putts in the hole like Bobby Jones so the ball can go in the sides or even curl into the back or do you charge the cup like Arnold Palmer so you can take out some of the break? Different strokes for different folks. Try thinking about it this way: putt like Bobby on your long putts so they finish near the hole and putt like Arnie on the short putts so they at least have a chance to go in. If you do these two things, you will have fewer total putts and a lower score. Try it, you'll like it. Keep your head down. Many golfers top the ball, and when they ask their playing partner what hap- pened, the standard reply is, "You must have looked up and lifted your head." When a golfer tops the ball general- ly one of two things happens through impact: either both their head and upper spine move away IYom the ball or their arms pull into their body. When I work with a golfer who tops the ball, 1 transfer their swing on my computer, then put a circle around their head and run their swing through frame by fr, ame to determine exact- ly what caused the topped shot. Well, my fellow golfers, I can honestly say thai rough- ly 90 percent of the golfers who top the ball do not lift their heads. Instead they pull their arms into their bodies through impact. If you start with a straight left arm (for right-handed golfers) at ad- dress you need to have a straight left arm at impact. It can bend at the top of the swing, but if it is bent at im- pact you will top the ball, un- less your upper spine and head move down during the downswing. But if you do that you've got two extra moving parts that make it difficult to make consistently good contact. So try to keep a level head and extend your arms away from your body through impact. Practice makes perfect. Actually, practice makes permanent. If you make the same incorrect motion every time you swing the club you are ingraining that move. To overcome your ingrained tendencies you have to estab- lish a new motion. It's easier to train your body to make the proper motion when you do it in slow motion, just like when people learn to ski on the bunny slope where they make slow motion turns en- suring they make the proper action. So get in front of a mirror or window and make slow motion swings ensuring you are making the right move. Once you get the motion cor- rect, try closing your eyes to enhance your feel for the new move. On the practice range, make some practice swings to regain the feeling of that correct motion, then recreate that feeling at a slower than full speed swing with a ball. If you have trou- ble making that same correct motion hitting a ball, go back to the slow motion practice swings. Remember every time you swing a club, whether with or without a ball, you are training your body. So if you want to re- train your body to do the right thing, make more prac- tice swings than actual swings and make every prac- tice swing a positive training session. ()h yah, here's one more thinggolfers say, at least this golfer is going to say it: thank you to the Graeagle Meadows Women's and Men's clubs for supporting me in my time of need -- my big three-day junior golf camp. The Men's Club paid for the food and sponsored six deserving local junior golfers while a few wonder- ful women from the Women's Club bought the food and then prepared it each day of the clinic. The generous women and men of Graeagle Meadows have sup- ported the Graeagle Mead- ows Junior Golf Program for as long as I have worked there and I thank them from the bottqm of my putter, which is a very special place.
