Have you ever misread a putt at Lookout Point???

Look at the image below. Do the horizontal blue lines look like they bend or are at an angle? In reality, they are all 100% straight. You can’t always trust your eyes. Reading greens is no different.

In the Golf Shop we hear about misread putts at Lookout Point daily. Putts that seemed to defy gravity. Upslopes downhill and downslopes uphill.

If you’ve watched Golf on the PGA or LPGA Tour over the past 5 year’s you will have noticed a number of professionals using a revolutionary method of green reading called “Aim Point”. Some of these players include Dustin Johnson, Adam Scott, Justin Rose, Lydia Ko and Stacey Lewis. Aim Point was developed by Mark Sweeney (PGA Tour Coach) and is now used by over 200 touring pros, 5000 juniors, 75,000 amateurs and over 300 of the world’s top instructors. At it’s basic level the process involves:

On Saturday, June 29th we will be welcoming Canada’s ONLY level 3 Aim Point instructor - Liam Mucklow to Lookout Point where he will be conducting an Aim Point Express class along with our Director of Instruction Adam Steinschifter. The class is limited to 10 participants and will run from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm with a second class running from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm. The cost is $200 +HST per participant which includes hands on instruction, class notes and access to a private Aim Point group.

Driving Range Turf (HELP!!!)

A couple of week’s ago we sent out an e-blast talking about the right and wrong ways to practice at the range. That e-blast can be found by CLICKING HERE. In that e-blast we instructed members to practice using a “linear” divot pattern as opposed to a “scattered” or “concentrated” divot pattern. A linear pattern removes the least amount of turf and recovers quickly helping us to ensure we have quality turf to practice off of throughout the golf season. This past weekend the following patterns were found a the Driving Range:

This area of the range’s turf may not recover at all this season. If you are using the range you are expected to use a linear pattern. By now, all members should be aware of proper practice procedures as outlined in the image below. If you are unsure, please speak to one of the Professional Staff and we will be happy to educate you further. Divot patterns such as the ones found this weekend will not be tolerated.
