Letter From The Publisher
Here at The Turn we celebrate our cherished pros and connect them with the golf
community at large. In fact, if you are reading our magazine you are more than likely
to recognize one of the “authors” on the cover page. And after all, what is more unique
than the relationship we have with our trusted golf instructors? Who else are we
willing to take so much criticism from this late in life? The fact is I love golf and would
go to any length to improve my game even just a little bit, maybe by keeping the ball
in the fairway a few more times or curbing those pesky three-putts. Indeed there
is something special about the game that keeps us coming back weekend after
weekend. Some call it an obsession, or as Mark Twain said “a good walk spoiled.”
Personally, when I hit that perfect shot, like the ones I see from Tiger or Phil, or from
my smiling pro, there is no better feeling. I work in a great industry. I get to work with
and pick the brain’s of some of the top PGA instructors from all around the country.
With all the advice offered, I wish I could actually finish a round without thinking about
the shot or hole that could have been. It is my great pleasure to present my fellow
golf lovers with advice and insight from some of the best in the country.
All the Best, T. Reed Smith

shift towards the target. This will encourage your hands and arms to
drop down from the top of your swing and your shots will start more in
line with your intended target.
When you practice, try to hit shots that start right off the target if you
play right handed, or left of the target if you play left handed. This will
help you get the feel of a swing path that starts from the inside instead
of the outside that helps produce a slice.
Slice Cureby Jimmy Winn
Proper Down Swing Coming from the Inside
Over the top Downswing (Causes Slice)
101
If you ARe lIke MoST GolfeRS, THe SlIce IS youR PRoBleM SHoT.
The two factors that create this shot are 1 a club face that is open at
impact and 2 an out-to-in swing path in the downswing. Both of these
mistakes must be corrected to cure your slice. fixing one mistake and
not the other could lead to a new problem shot.
There are two different problems that may be contributing to your
open club face at impact. The first is that your grip pressure on the
club may be too tight. This will make it more difficult to square the
club face and properly release the club at impact. on a scale of 1 to 10
with 1 being the lightest and 10 being the tightest, your grip pressure
should be about 3 or 4. The second problem may be the position of
your hands on the golf club. If your hands are turned more towards
the target, this is called a weak or open face grip. Get in your set up
position and look down at your hands. If you see only one knuckle
on your top hand, you have an open face grip. This makes it more
difficult to square the club face at impact. Turn your hands away from
the target so that when you look down you see three knuckles on your
top hand. This will help you square the club face at impact and hit
straighter shots.
In your downswing we must eliminate the out to in swing path, better
known as over the top. Additionally, in your downswing, the club
must approach from inside your intended target line. This is best
accomplished by not starting your downswing with your hands and
arms; rather, feel like you start the downswing with a small weight

Mr. consistency: Luke DonaLD’s Banner Year
By Will Garcia, Staff Writer
When Winston Churchill said “consistent effort, not strength…is the key to unlocking our potential”, he could have been talking about his fellow englishman Luke Donald. Since 2001, Luke Donald has been a steady picture of excellence. But in 2011 his consistent game exploded into a banner year that catapulted him into the world’s top ranked player.
With 2 PGA tour wins, 5 second place finishes, 4 third place finishes and 21 top-tens, Donald’s 2011 season was the blueprint of what it takes to be number one. He was Player of the Year in the PGA and european tours. In October, he came from behind on Sunday to win the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Classic with 6 straight birdies on the back nine to become the tour’s money leader, which he held on to for the year. Donald also won the Vardon trophy and the Byron Nelson award for lowest scoring average at 68.86. His consistent play and effortless swing made him the talk, and envy, of the tour.
Nowhere was Donald more consistent than on the greens. He went 486 holes without a three putt this year, beating the PGA tour record by more than 100 holes. He had the lowest putt percentage on tour and he went 529 for 529 on putts under three feet.
His now cemented status among golf’s elite did not, however, come out of nowhere. As the star of Northwestern University’s college team he won the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship in 1999 beating tiger Wood’s previous college record. In 2001, he became just the 11th PGA rookie to make over a million dollars his first year. With his brother Christian in tow (as his caddy), Donald has finally reached golf’s elite and will be the player to watch in 2012 as he seeks his first major.
Luke Donald is also recognized as one of the tour’s true gentlemen. Outgoing and sportsman-like, his staggeringly successful season has been applauded by his fellow golfers. His consistency on the course has mirrored his consistency at home: he married his college sweetheart from Northwestern. When their daughter ellie was born this year, Donald said “I don’t think it’s a coincidence my golf has got a lot better since ellie was born.” Donald is also an avid painter, he studied Art theory at Northwestern and has even donated an original painting to the PGA for charity.
With tiger back on the rise and rory McIlroy playing incredible golf look for Donald to be gunning for each and every major i n 2012.

The Turn: How did you get into golf?
Euan Dougal: Growing up in Scotland I was surrounded by the game.
My uncle played on the european Tour and many of my
family members, including my grandparents, were avid
golfers. I was given a set of Tony Jacklin Dunlop golf clubs
for christmas when I was 8 years old and, with a few pointers
from my uncle, took to the links and was soon hooked.
TT: Who is your golf hero and why?
ED: Severiano Ballesteros. Seve blew the dust off golf and made the game
exciting again. His humble beginnings, style, charisma and unbelievable
golfing abilities made him a true hero for me and my golfing friends growing
up. His efforts to include continental europe in the Ryder cup rejuvenated
the event and his passion for the game and for match play are unparalleled.
I would also like to add a note to acknowledge my late Grandfather who
patiently fuelled my desire, taught me the game and put me in my place
when needed. He loved golf and I loved playing with he and his pals.
TT: What is your most memorable moment in your best round of golf?
ED: I made a hole in one on a Par 4 during a ‘Play With The Pro’ round at Beacon
Hall Golf club in Toronto about ten years ago. Although it was not my career
best score I will always remember the reaction of my three playing partners
and how much fun we had that day. I recall our best ball score being 54 and
that no one would believe us!
TT: Tiger or Phil?
ED: Tiger. When he is on his game there is no better player to watch.
His record speaks for itself.
TT: Belly or standard putter?
ED: Standard. call me a traditionalist or just someone who
has never tried a belly putter!

TT: How far can you drive the ball in perfect conditions?
Define perfect conditions? on the launch monitor
I’m around 280 yards.
TT: What is your favorite part of having a career in golf?
I really enjoy the daily interaction with great people. I have been very
fortunate to have worked at some fantastic facilities in some great
locations around the world and it is always the people who I have
worked with (and for) that have made these experiences special. This
network of people have provided me with lasting friendships, numerous
opportunities and countless fond memories.
TT: Do you have any advice for golf enthusiasts considering PGA membership?
I am a proud member of the canadian PGA and would encourage
any golf enthusiast to pursue a career in golf and apply for a PGA
Apprenticeship. The golf business is vast and offers a multitude of
rewarding career opportunities for committed individuals who love the
game. Whether running a club, pursuing a playing career, teaching,
organizing events or working with an industry supplier the PGA
Professional plays their part in both promoting and protecting the game
of golf, its rules and its traditions. My advice would be to commit to the
program, work hard and dream big.

the health of the game of golf. I hear so often that golf is not healthy.
I would disagree with that statement. There are so many people that
want to either learn to play or want to come back to the game.
There are a few issues that are keeping these people from playing.
one is time. Golf has become a time consuming sport. five hour plus
rounds, long waits to get tee times, and long commutes to courses.
Golf on television has made golf very slow. People watch the pros on
television throw grass in the air to check wind, walk off the distance to
the flag and changing clubs two or three times before deciding to hit
the shot. To avoid this, keep the game moving by playing “ready” golf.
When it is your turn to play, be ready. Get your distance to the hole and
decide what club to hit while your playing partner is hitting their shot,
this will make your game faster and more enjoyable and it will also
allow the players behind you to have a better time.
Golf does not have to be so time consuming. Play fewer holes. I would
like to see courses come up with rates for not only 9 or 18 holes, but a
fee for 4 holes. We, as golf course operators, need to be creative. We
need to think “outside the box”. The setup and design of a golf course
serves as another factor in the length of time it takes to play. long
holes, long rough and fast greens. All of these factors add time
to a round. As golf course operators, it is our job to set the golf course
up so the patrons will be able to play faster and have more fun. If
the course is set up fair and friendly the rounds of golf will be more
enjoyable.
Growing the game is an important issue to the PGA of America. As a
PGA Professional, I know that in order to grow the game I need to make
golf fun and accessible. Here at the country club of Petersburg, I have
done a couple of things to help grow the game at my facility. first, I have
started an unlimited lesson package. This package is priced to entice
my members to take as many lessons as they can to improve. I have
set a max number of people who can get this package to 20. once they
are on the lesson plan they can schedule as many lessons as they want
for the calendar year. This plan has increased activity at the club. My
students are practicing more and that means they are spending more
time at the club. The more time they spend, the more people they meet,
the more they play. It becomes a “snowball” effect. Another program
that our club has done to insure the health of the game is making our
club accessible to juniors. We have started a junior membership for
high school age juniors. The country club of Petersburg sees a real
benefit to junior golf in growing the game. furthermore, a strong junior
program brings more families to the facility. our junior membership is
designed to attract young players that don’t have parents that play golf.
younger families with young aspiring golfers want to have someone for
their kids to play golf with. Junior golf is the future of the game. These
kids are the next generation of members at clubs or green fee paying
players as they graduate from college and enter the work force. I would
encourage any club or course to make their facility easy for kids to
belong. kids get their parents involved. family golf is important at my
facility and an area that needs to always be improving. Golf is a great
way for families to spend time together. It is one of the few sports that
the whole family can be together and play at the same time. I remember
the time I spent with my parents and my own kids on the course. As a
family we had so much fun. I still spend time with my kids on the course
and I wouldn’t trade those times for anything.
let’s grow the game through juniors and families. Get people involved.
The next time you plan to go to the course ask someone that doesn’t
play to join you. you will get a great sense of enjoyment introducing
some new people to the greatest of games.n

Do you WAnT To HIT THe BAll fARTHeR? of couRSe you Do.
Do you want more accuracy with your irons? you are not alone. Why
don’t you take a divot? Do you know? It is not because you are lifting
your head. no! you are saying, “Really, because that is what my
friends all tell me after I top a shot.” you are suffering from one of
the most deadly golfing diseases known to man, misconceptions.
In order to get maximum distance and accuracy from your shots, hit
the ball in the center of the club face. It helps if the face is square to
the swing path as well. The biggest reason why golfers don’t hit the
ball solid or with any distance is because their lead wrist is bent or
collapsed at impact. We call this a “ScooP.” I call this job security!
Scooping is one of the most common errors that the average golfer
make in the golf swing. A proper impact position should look like the
picture to the right.

Train your left arm
To improve impact
2 Drills that
Will Help
The lead wrist should be flat, the rear wrist is bent at the moment
that the ball collides with the club-face. The shaft of the club should
lean towards the target. let’s discuss some possible causes of a poor
impact position and I will give you a couple of drills that will help
you create the ultimate impact condition and get you striking it more
solid in no time.
PGA Director of Instruction Carmel Country Club
DRILL #1 left arm Only Swingsto start to train the left or lead arm, start by making
half swing with your left arm only. to do this drill,
place your right (for righties) hand over your left
bicep to keep your left arm connected to your
shoulder as you make your swings. Gradually
rotate the back of your left hand through impact
until it faces the ground half way through the finish.
Let your left elbow fold to the ground. try hitting an
8 iron off a low tee for practice for 25 reps.
Cause #1 trying to Help the Ball Off Of the Groundthere are many reasons why we scoop but this is the most common. trying to lift the ball off the ground. Golf is a game of opposites. the more you try to help the ball off of the ground, the more you will roll the ball on the ground or top the ball. Understand the philosophy that we discussed earlier. Strike the ball with a forward leaning shaft, hands in front of the ball with a flat lead wrist and the ball will get off of the ground.
Cause #2 the rear Hand overtaking the lead handIt is my belief that if your lead hand has not been trained to support the pushing of the rear hand through the hitting zone, it will break down. I know that you have all heard that golf is a right handed game, but I believe that it is a two sided game. Both hands have to do their part. If the lead hand is not coordinated or trained then we have to do some drills that will improve this area of weakness. this is a key skill that all expert golfers possess.
here are two drills that will help to improve the weaker lead side and improve your ball striking.
DRILL #2 “the claw Drill”
now we are going to add the right hand
but only partially. clasp your right hand at
the wrist area of your left so it is only
guiding the club but still using your left
hand predominately. Hit some balls with
an 8 iron off a low tee. 25 reps.
Johnny Miller used to hit 7 irons with his
left arm only about 165 yards in his practice
sessions. He obviously understood the
importance of the lead arm. Golf is a two sided
game. The more balance that you have in
your hands and arms, the more balance and
power you will have in your ball striking.

for you to be able to control in order to play your best golf. Rhythm is
something that we rarely go out to the range to intentionally practice.
Timing is everything! Good tempo, rhythm and timing are all a result of
being relaxed and in control. My advice is for you to “Swing, don’t hit! “
Here’s how to practice the proper swing and avoid being a hitter
during your next practice session.
Pick out a target on the range as soon as you set up to practice. Take
some practice swings toward that target. keep your grip pressure soft.
keep your head still. Swing gracefully and effortlessly going back.
Pause at the top. Start the downswing down with a pull of your left arm
(for right handers). let the speed in your swing build gradually from the
beginning of the downswing, to the impact position. Do not force the
club down from the top. let it drop from the top. Build speed on the
way down, gradually. finish your swing aggressively.
once you are finished taking a few practice swings, thinking about the
tips outlined here, simply address a ball and swing at it, using your
practice swing technique. That’s right, swing at the ball with your
practice swing! There is no reason to have a differentmove at the ball,
just because there is a ball there. When you swing during a practice
swing, you are warming the oven for how you want to feel as you swing
at the ball. I call this a “rehearsal swing.” use it for contacting the ball
and you will be a swinger, not a hitter. Start out with your short clubs
and work your way up to the long clubs. And, for the record, swing all of
your clubs with the same tempo. Do not swing your long irons or driver
harder than your mid and short irons.
In my opinion, there is an excellent device out there to help you train
your tempo! It is called the Orange Whip trainer!

Flexibility The shaft is heavy, yet very flexible. The weight on each end
of the shaft provides a low-impact stretch while you swing it.
Strength The orange Whip gives you a good core muscle workout when you
use it during repetitive motion drills. The wrists and forearms get a
good burn when you do various drills and when you wrist hinge
during the swinging motion.
Coordination The orange Whip synchronizes the arms and body.
When this motion is out of sync, you will lose your balance.
tempo As the arms and body work together, a natural rhythm takes over
the swing. As tempo develops, you will always feel in balance and
as if you are swinging with an efficient motion.
If a golfer trains their swing without using a ball, the mind and body will allow the swing to develop naturally. Swing a club every day for 5
minutes, at home, on the days that you don’t get out for golf. A training aid like the orange Whip Trainer can eliminate the “hit” instinct from
your mind. As a result, consistency can be developed.

Juniors Must be a priority for all ClubsTHRouGHouT My 17 yeAR TenuRe AT
Stonehenge Golf & country club, I have been
blessed with a healthy stock of Junior golfers
to fill our summer junior golf programs. We
have had to increase the age offerings to as
young as 4 and have added a Golf Academy
for the middle to high school age kids. But
there has always been a bit of a “fly in the
ointment” on two fronts… because we have
such an active golf calendar, we have had
trouble with providing the kids with formal
instruction on the golf course and not just on
the range, and we have noticed that many of
the kids only come out to the course when
we are providing programs for them… in
other words, we don’t see a whole lot of them
playing with their parents in the evening or on
Sunday afternoons which have always been
traditional times to see the kids out with
their families.
In addition to these two concerns, as
Instructors, we have noticed that many of the
kids seem to become tired more quickly than
in the past and also seem to be more focused
on getting inside for lunch than staying
outside for golf. I don’t think that all of the
blame can be placed on the kids…hitting balls
on the range for an hour or playing a 8 man
scramble on the 18th hole gets old after a
while. At the conclusion of this past season’s
program it was evident that we needed to find
a better way to bring our kids into the game
and keep them interested.
As Head Golf Professional, this charge
lands clearly on my shoulders as it should,
but I wasn’t having much luck finding or
developing the program that I felt would
achieve the results that I was looking for.
More fun and enthusiasm for the kids, a
vehicle to help grow their stamina, and a
desire for them to come out and play at
different times during the week.
By chance, I was listening to the PGA network
on XM radio and heard an interview with
Suzanne Strudwick, a former player on the
lPGA Tour. Suzanne is the founder of Golf
Academy one Junior Golf. I listened to Peter
kessler’s interview of Suzanne and how Golf
Academy one was incorporating lTAD, (long
Term Athletic Development), into their Junior
golf program. As I listened I knew that this
was the program that I was looking for.
In conjunction with TPI, (Titleist Performance
Institute), Suzanne and her group have come
up with a Junior Program that focuses on
building athletes and not just golfers. The
program incorporates age-appropriate athletic
development into
a golf-instructional program which has reaped
great success thus far at the
facilities’ that are using the program.
I have already rolled this program out to
our Junior members’, but we’ll be taking the
program one step further and offering it to all
kids in the community. We realize that we have
a commitment to the kids and a commitment
to grow the game of golf. We feel that Golf
Academy one will be a tremendous catalyst
for doing just that and the juniors will have a
great time along the way!

back in play. Take a lofted club. Set up with
the ball a little farther back in your stance than
normal and the clubface slightly open. The
open clubface will help you get the ball up
quickly and counteract the tendency of the
grass to grab the hosel and close the face.
your body alignment should be slightly left of
the target because the open clubface will send
the ball to the right if the grass does not close
the clubface. Apply a little more grip pressure
than usual with the left hand to help keep the
clubface square throughout impact.
Take the club back a little steeper on the back
swing than normal. This, along with playing
the ball back in your stance creates a steeper
angle of attack into the ball, which eliminates
the amount of grass you have to swing
through before impact and helps get the back
airborne quickly. Again, hold the club firmly
throughout the shot. you should be able to
get plenty of distance and hit the ball straight.
uphill Lie
The most important consideration when facing
an uphill lie is to remember that the slope
adds loft to your shot and results in a higher
trajectory. Take at least one club more than
you would normally hit, possibly two clubs
more if the slope is severe. Set up with your
spine perpendicular to the slope. This sets
your shoulders parallel to the ground and
allows you to swing down the slope going
back and up the slope going through. Set your
weight slightly to the right side at address and
play the ball toward the front of your stance.
flare your left foot out about a quarter turn to
encourage weight transfer on the downswing.
Downhill Lie
This shot is more troublesome for most
golfers, but it’s not really and more difficult. A
downhill lie decreases the amount of loft on
the club and causes the ball to fly with a lower
trajectory. Take one less club than you would
normally hit. Again, set up with your spine
perpendicular to the slope and your shoulders
parallel to the ground so that the club swings
up the slope going back and down the slope
coming through. Position your weight toward
the left side and position the ball slightly back
in your stance. Turning against the slope is
difficult so you may want to close your stance
a bit to encourage a better turn.
side Hill – Ball above Feet
To play this shot, stand taller at address with
less knee flex than you would normally use.
choke down about an inch on the club since
the distance between your hands and the
ball is less than from a flat lie. The club will
swing more around your body on a flatter
plane when the ball is above your feet. This
decreases the loft on the club and results in a
low, right-to-left shot, so choose one club less
than you would normally hit and align your
body and clubface slightly to the right of the
target. keep your weight set toward the balls
of your feet throughout the swing.
side Hill – Ball Below Feet
even the pros have trouble with this shot, but
that doesn’t mean you have to. To get down
to the ball, flex your knees more at address
and bend more from the hips. Hold the club
at the end of the grip. Widen your stance a bit
to lower your center of gravity. This creates
stability during the swing. The slope of the
ground causes your swing lane to become
more upright and vertical and also adds loft
by opening the face of the club. These factors
generally add up to a high, left-to-right shot.
use one more club than you normally do from
the same distance and align your body and
clubface to the left of the target line. A good
swing key for this shot is to maintain your
knee flex throughout the swing.
Remember, the flight of the ball tends to
reflect the direction of the slope. Practice
uneven lies whenever you can to get a feel for
the shots you hit from the various situations.
It’s always an advantage to know what to
expect. With all specialty shots, you should
make a couple of extra practice swings before
attempting to strike the ball. Program the
shape and feel of the swing into your mind’s
eye and visualize the flight of the ball. And
relax! Shots from uneven lies are usually not
as difficult as they seem. Don’t let tension
ruin your efforts.

THe lore of golf history. They are marked by the memories of five u.S.
championships, including Jack nicklaus’ 1-iron in 1972, Tom Watson’s
1982 chip-in and Tiger Woods’ dominant 12-stoke victory in 2000. They
began with Sam Snead’s consecutive victories to initiate the crosby
clambake and are stapled by Mark o’Meara’s five titles at the AT&T
Pebble Beach national Pro-Am. even lanny Wadkins staked his claim
on the hallowed ground, with an epic sudden-death playoff victory
over Gene littler in the 1977 PGA championship. Many have traversed
what Golf Digest has repeatedly called the greatest public golf courses
in America, but few have the hardware to prove their titled worth. But
what if there was a way for you to become one of those cherished few?

each course at Pebble Beach Resorts has its own distinct environment,
style and character, and is designed to challenge and thrill every
tournament participant. Since 1919, the exquisite beauty and
unmatched history of Pebble Beach Golf links has made the site a
pinnacle for all tournaments at the Resorts. Ranked the no. 1 public
course in the united States by Golf Digest, this storied tract boasts
stunning ocean views, wide-open vistas and cliff-side fairways
along the Pacific’s rugged coastline. Spyglass Hill Golf course, rated
as one the toughest courses in the world, features two distinctly
different kinds of terrain that influence the way the holes look and
play, with the first five holes rolling through sandy, seaside dunes
and the following 13 cutting through majestic pines with elevated
greens and strategically placed bunkers. The links at Spanish Bay,
designed after the historical european courses, are so authentic that

Scotland. Here, the golf course provides you with the choice of using
your regular shot or a low, running shot to play the firm turf while
