What you need to know about...


Here's Ben giving us a synopsis of what is coming up at Crown Colony.


Play Nine Before Nine


May winner is Dale Botsford

We have a new program designed to get you to play more golf.

Every evening after 5:00PM if you come out and play at least 9 holes you will be entered in a drawing for a $100 gift certificate. You can bring a guest and the fee will be ½ price, after 5:00PM.

Make practice count


Swing Training News / Golf Performance Center


We have continued to make improvements in the indoor training area, new lighting, and TV screens in this area to help you see where you need to improve. We have upgraded this area with new flooring and wall areas the make the echo go away. This will allow us throughout the year to continue growing golf here at Crown Colony.  The more people in the region who realize what Crown Colony has to offer, the more members and guest we will have here.

Some of the things we have to offer are:
1: TrackMan for short game, full swings and club fitting.
2: SuperSpeed training system for increasing clubhead speed.
3: A slow-motion video system which will help you improve mechanics.
4: Coming soon will be our indoor golf simulator, which is the next step to consistency. When you can’t play outdoors you will be able to play indoors.

Contact us if you would like more information or to begin working on making your game better.

Make this your best golf year ever!  

Get Golf Ready Program


The most important programs are the ones we are continuing to promote to get people you may know involved in playing golf. You may have a group of people at your job that we could build a weekly program that not only gets them playing golf, but creates unity in your workforce. Or you may just have some family/friends that you want to get involved in this great game.

Get Golf Ready Program is a great way to do this. This is a five lesson program for just $99. In five lessons we get students on the golf course enjoying this great game that we all love.

Contact me for any questions.

Could you save 5 shots per round?


 
A simple test to benchmark your putting setup
 
The jury is out on this one. The evidence shows that, if one is more important than the other, then it’s marginal. We think this myth has come about as the industry tries to educate golfers that weight is very important. And it is.
 
If the angle of your putter
face is just 2° out at impact then,
even from just 6 feet you’re
going to miss.
 
If you miss most putts in the 6 – 12 foot range then the chances are you have a face angle challenge. For most, that problem starts at the address position. Benchmark your skill level:
 

 
Get a check-up
Improving your ability to square the putter face at impact will take up to 5 shots off your scorecard. There are some simple keys to that improvement. So come and see us.
