Golf Tips

Alignment can be a big problem for many golfers. Many people don’t realize how eye dominance can affect how we line up to a target. When you address the ball standing parallel to the target line you may actually be lined up incorrectly. Depending on which eye is dominant, your alignment may be off in either direction. This can be fixed by always lining up your shot from behind the ball. When hitting from the tee or fairway, pick a spot a few feet from your ball, down the target line. While putting or chipping, select a spot within a foot or two of your ball. Next you address the ball aiming over the chosen spot on the ground. Hitting the ball over this closer target will help assure the player of correct alignment through the shot. Correcting one of the fundamental elements of the golf swing can help make your game a success.

A Tom Fazio design, Osprey Point opened in 1988 and quickly earned a place among America’s top resort courses. Set amid pristine lagoons, marshes and maritime forests, Osprey Point offers picturesque views from every hole. The setting for the course features four large natural lakes and fingers of saltwater marshes. Into this backdrop Fazio created a masterpiece of playability and variety, a favorite of residents and resort guests alike. In fact, it was recently ranked No. 9 in Golf for Women magazine's "Top 50 Golf Courses for Women". An expansive clubhouse encompasses over 14,000 square feet of pro shop offering quality apparel, attended locker rooms and a semi-private dining room. It was recently awarded 4 1/2 stars in Golf Digest’s "Places to Play" readers’ poll.
