I have always wanted to golf the course that is up Bow Trail before the WalMart. It is located on the right hand side just as you come up the hill from going under Crowchild Trail.

I really like the look of the course. We will definitely have to go this summer. How expensive is a round?

You handy cap is basically your average over say 10 rounds above/below par for the course.

So since most courses have a par of 72, and I shoot around average an 84....that makes my handicap 12.

Try slowing your swing down a touch, and moving the ball a tad back in your stance.

Are your Drive/woods graphite shafted. If so, what is the flex on the shaft (high/medium/low). If you are like me I need a stiff shaft (haha..he said stiff shaft) because I have to much strength in my shoulders so when I bring the club around and just before contacting the ball the head of my shaft..haha is still on a angle there for I slice every time. So until I get a stiffer shafted driver what I do to fix my slice is I address the ball 6 inches back from the tee. What this does is because the shaft is flexed when I address the ball normally this alows time for the head of the club to hit the ball perpendicular hence a nice straight, down the fairway shot.

If you don't believe me, give it a try and you will be amased. When I figured this out I hit a 372 yard drive with no wind. I have the wittnesses to prove it.

Cheers

If they are a regular flex shaft, and you have a fast swing. I would highly recommend going to a stiff flex shaft. That will help out a lot as well.
