GIVE YOUR GAME
A QUICK TUNE&UP
O
ne way to instill a little
confidence in your
game is to get a quick
tune-up from a golf profes-
sional.
And courtesy of Indian
Wells Golf Resort, golfers
can get some feedback on
their swing with a "10-
Minute Tune-Up" on the
driving range from 11 a.m.-
1 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 11.
The event is free to at-
tend, and each attendee will
have a chance to meet and
greet the professional golf
team and spend 10 minutes
with a staff professional for
a swing tip or two.
call the Golf Shop at
(760) 346-4653 for more

SAVE THE DATE!
I
f one of your New Year's
resolutions is to become a
better golfer, then a natu-
ral first step toward
that goal is taking
golf lessons. This
helps you get the
most out of your
time on the course,
and allows you to
work with an instructor to
improve specific parts of your
game.
Here are a few tips from
PGA Head Golf Professional
Tom Burley to help you get
the most out of any golf les-
sons you take this year:
1
Identify your weak-
nesses. If you are al-
ready an avid player,
you probably know where
your misses are and what
your bad tendencies can be.
Communicate clearly with
your instructor on what you
are experiencing with your
game so your teacher can best
tailor a lesson plan around
the areas you are trying to im-
prove. If you are just begin-
ning, make sure your
instructor knows that too.
2
Dedicate your time and
efforts. How much
time are you going to
spend on improving your
game? Much like anything in
life, the more you practice,
the better and more comfort-
able you feel with it. Allot
yourself some time weekly to
put a club in your hands and
take some swings.
3
have patience. Getting
better at golf is not
something that hap-
pens overnight. Some of us
are born with patience – oth-
ers, not so much.
Know before you get
started in golf that you will
need plenty of this!
4
Make the most of your
scheduled lesson time.
Be ready to go when
your lesson starts.
As we all know, time is
valuable. Be on time, warmed
up and ready to learn. This
will allow you to maximize
the time you have with your
instructor and really work on
improving your game.
