TIP OF THE MONTH: SWING EASIER

As you already know, it’s always windy here at English Turn. Here is a tip to help you play better in the wind. Next time you are playing a shot into the wind, instead of swinging harder (which actually makes the ball go higher because it creates more spin), take more club and swing with an abbreviated follow through about shoulder high. This will help you not hit it so high and create so much spin. This should help you become a better player in the wind.

REMINDERS

GOLF CART RULES

There are more junior golfers playing golf and I would like to remind everyone of the golf cart rules. The golf carts are only to be used for access to the driving range and playing on the course. In addition, to operate a golf cart the individual must have a valid drivers license. Finally, at no time should children operate the golf cart supervised or unsupervised. I thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter to make English Turn a safe enviroment for all.

RESTROOMS

All golfing members please use restrooms at the comfort stations located on the front nine as well as the back nine of the golf course. This is necessary as to not disturb any of the many residents that have golf course lots. We appreciate your cooperation.

NO SMOKING

This is a friendly reminder that the entire Clubhouse is a non-smoking establishment. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping the Clubhouse smoke-free.

CHECK IN

Please check in the Golf Shop before you start your round. If there is an emergency we need to know who is on the course. You may call us from your cell phone to check in. This helps us monitor play.
