Golf

If you’ve ever felt like your shots are a little off—thin one hole, chunky the next—it might be time to check your ball position. Where the ball sits in your stance plays a big role in making clean, consistent contact.

For irons and wedges, keep the ball just forward of center. This helps you strike down on the ball, compressing it against the turf for that crisp, satisfying feel.

For fairway woods and hybrids, move the ball up slightly—about two balls forward of center. This promotes a sweeping motion and reduces fat shots.

For drivers, tee it up and place the ball just inside your front heel. That forward position encourages an upward strike, maximizing distance and minimizing spin.

The goal? Match the low point of your swing arc to your club. Small tweaks in ball position can lead to big improvements in consistency—and more smiles on the scorecard.

Try it out next round. Your sweet spot will thank you! 🐻⛳

Looking to add distance off the tee? Start from the ground up. True power in your golf swing comes from a stable base and efficient weight transfer—not just swinging harder.

Here’s how to unlock more power:

• Widen Your Stance: A slightly wider stance increases stability and helps you load into your trail leg during the backswing.
• Engage Your Core: Power isn’t all in the arms—activating your core during the transition helps generate speed through impact.
• Shift, Don’t Slide: Focus on a controlled weight shift to your lead side during the downswing. This builds torque and leads to a more explosive release.

Remember, a balanced and athletic setup is the launchpad for powerful, consistent shots. Want to dial in your swing even more? Book a lesson with our PGA staff and take your game to the next level.

Golf is a game of precision and respect—not just for the sport, but for the course itself. One of the easiest ways to keep The Grizzly in top condition is by properly replacing divots and repairing ball marks.

Here’s how you can do your part:

Replace Divots: If your shot takes a chunk out of the fairway, replace the divot whenever possible. Press it back in and step on it to help it re-root. If the divot shatters or is missing, use the sand/seed mix provided on the carts and fill the area evenly.

Repair Ball Marks: Greens are delicate, and an unaddressed ball mark can cause long-term damage. Use a proper ball mark repair tool (or a tee if needed) to gently push the edges of the mark inward—never lift upward, as that can harm the turf. Lightly tap the area with your putter to smooth it out.

A well-maintained course makes for a better playing experience for everyone. Thanks for keeping The Grizzly in great shape!
