Junior Golf Camp
Junior Golf Camp at BCC

This year I'll be conducting several weeks of Junior Golf Camp for boys and girls at the Batavia Country Club. I will be assisted by Roxanne Noeth, who has won the BCC Ladies Club Championship several times.

At the camp, junior golfers will learn the basic skills of golf, as well as golf etiquette and self discipline. There will be daily games and prizes, and all the kids have had a blast at past camps. Availability is limited to 20 kids per week, it's on a first come first served basis.

This years camp will run for five days, Monday through Friday.

Junior Golf Camp hours are as follows:
Monday - Thursday 8:30am - 11 am. Monday through Thursday will include instruction, play, and contests.
Friday - Tournament starts at 6:45 am sharp and usually takes about an hour and a half. Each player needs a caddy age 16 or over, and a brief awards presentation follows the tournament.

There will be a ten minute break half way through each session, players should bring their own beverages and snacks.

Dates and Age Groupings are as follows:

July 10 - 14 - Ages 7 - 9
July 17 - 21 - Ages 10 - 15
July 24 - 28 - Ages 10 - 15

The cost for an individual junior golfer is $99 for the week. If two siblings attend during the same week, the cost drops to $89 per junior golfer.

Players will need to bring their own equipment.

For more information or to register, please contact the Batavia Country Club (585) 343-7600 ext 10. Payment is required to reserve your spot.





Tom's Featured Tip:
Putting From The Fringe

For simplicity, all advice on actual swings or drills is provided from a right handed perspective.

This short but sweet tip is a guaranteed stroke saver.

I was at a party Saturday and my brother-in-law thanked me for a tip I gave him a week earlier about putting from the fringe.

I thought this tip was almost common knowledge among golfers, but in case I'm wrong, here it is.

The first part of the tip is if you are on the fringe, make putting your first option. A poor putt will always end up closer to the hole than a poor chip.

The second part of the tip is distance control.

When we were playing a week or so ago, my brother-in-law had a couple putts from the fringe and he left them both short.

I mentioned that when he was setting up, he needed to calculate the distance that the ball would roll through the fringe, then add that on to his putt by looking at a corresponding spot past the hole when he took his practice strokes.

In other words, two feet of fringe, pick a spot on your aimline two feet past the hole when you are making your practice strokes to get the feel for the stroke you want to use. Three feet of fringe, pick a spot three feet past the hole etc.

If you haven't been doing this on putts from off the green, start doing it now. Your lag putts will definitely end up closer to the hole.

Enjoy!

Tom's Bonus Tip: Practice Important Shots

For simplicity, all advice on actual swings or drills is provided from a right handed perspective.


Keep this in mind: if you've hit six greens, you've missed twelve. While it's important to get the most out of your tee shot, after putting - chipping and pitching are the most important shots.

Practice, practice, practice.
