DANBURY –Sand greens cer-

tainly make Yellow Lake Golf Courseunique, in that golfers need to employ adifferent strategy than they would nor-mally use on courses with grass greens.Owners Chuck and Sheila Anderson

take pride in having what Chuck be-lieves might be the only golf course inWisconsin with sand greens. Chuck An-derson said golfers need to “chip and

run,” to have success on the course.“The secret is to chip early and let the

ball run onto the green,” he said.“There’s a hard pack of sand under-neath, and then a layer of soft sand ontop. A No. 7 iron is a key iron aroundhere.”Golfers don’t needmany clubs in their

bag for playing this course, as a driver, acouple of irons and a putter will suffice.That’s what late, longtime golfer HaroldHaaf of Webster did until he was in hismid-80s.Golf courses used to have sand greens

in the 1920s and ‘30s when there weren’tany irrigation systems, Anderson said.But Yellow Lake is probably the only one

in Wisconsin that kept the concept. An-derson hasn’t heard of any other coursesthat have sand greens.Many people will practice on Jack O’-

Fallon’sWestside Driving Range, locatedthree-fourths of a mile down FrenchRoad, before playing the Yellow Lakecourse. After teeing off, golfers need tochip the ball near the hole and let the ballroll into the green. Golfers don’t want alot of loft on their ball, because the ballwill hit the ground and bounce off thegreen. This is where using a No. 7 iron isbest, because it has less loft than a nor-mal pitching wedge.“The short game is important,”Ander-

son said. “The approach shot is themost-

important shot here, just like with grassgreens.”Once golfers make the green, they

need to be aware of sand pebbles, whichcould alter the ball’s movement on thegreen. Hitting a small pebble can ruin agood putt andmake the ball just miss thehole.Before the Andersons bought the golf

course in May of 1988, it was much eas-ier to get the ball into the cup, becausethe ball used to funnel into the hole. Sogolfers needed to simply get the ballnear the hole, and it would go in the cup.TheAndersons took away the funnel, sogolfers are required to work at making agood putt.Night-light golfing is popular at Yel-

low Lake Golf Course, as the course wasone of the first courses in the area to startoffering it 20-plus years ago. Groups ofpeople golf six holes near the clubhouse.Golfers play with balls that glow in thedark, and there’s a light stick on the holeflags. Each group is given a flashlight,which they shine on the hole as peoplein their party are putting on the green.Night-light golf occurs almost everyweekend from now until Labor Day,An-derson said.This is the kind of activity that reflects

the golf course’s image of providing apleasurable golfing experience. Golfersof all skill levels can enjoy themselves onthis course, while not being hurried.“Our emphasis is on fun. There’s no

ranger on the course,” Anderson said. –Leader staff reporter

LUCK – Luck Golf Course isnestled on the south shore ofpicturesque Big Butternut Lakeand has graced the area formore than 74 years, providingenjoyment, challenge, and at the

same time, showcasing the natu-ral beauty of the area. Designed by Gordon Emerson,the Luck Golf Course offers a variety of terrains andmultiple tee boxes to both test and satisfy players of allabilities. Luck Golf Course is a 6,200-yard par-71 lay-out sporting 18 holes. Eight of the original nine holesare on rolling countryside flowing through open landthat is dotted with majestic oak trees. The other 10 holesweave through a pristine pine and hardwood forest,placing a premium on accuracy and club selection.In 1988, the course was expanded to 18 holes due in

part to a generous donation of the land to the south ofthe course by the Ravnholt family for the purpose of asecond nine. The order of the holes was reversed in1997 with the construction of a new building. In thewinter of 2004, the clubhouse and bar were remodeled.Today, Luck Golf Course is in great shape and offers theperfect balance of challenge and family fun.The Luck Golf Course is under new management in-

side and out. Both a new clubhouse manager and newcourse superintendent have been hired. Both arejazzed. Eager. Excited to get to work and make LuckGolf Course the place to be.Susan Matusiak hails most recently from Forest Lake

ing Center and as a sitemanager for the ForestLake Athletic Association.She was also the informa-tion resource coordinatorfor Hubbard Broadcasting(KSTP, KS95, FM 107) andhas a myriad of marketingexperience. Matusiak hasmoved back to Luck,where her roots are, to benear family.As village Administra-

tor Kristina Handt said,“Susan’s previous man-agement and customerservice experience, workin the marketing field, fa-miliarity with Luck area,and her the love of thegame make her an excel-

lent choice for clubhouse manager at Luck GolfCourse.”Matusiak noted her family goes back 100 years in

Luck and she has spent summers and weekends herethroughout her life. She said she is recently an “emptynester” so she made her way back home.“This is my dream job and I am honored - it is my

privilege to do my very best for Luck Golf Course topromote the game of golf.”Kevin Clunis is the new course superintendent and

comes with credentials as long as one’s arm.

He has been veryactive as a member of theGolf Course Superintend-ent Association of Amer-ica and Minnesota Golf

Course Superintendents Association.Handt noted he is a “regular in the area” and has

golfed the Luck course many times – even back when itwas a nine-hole course.“I’ve been around and been involved in the associa-

tions on both a local and national scale,” Clunis said.“I’ve been our chapter delegate for the last 11 years, soI do get to know all the people in the industry on bothsides of the fence – suppliers and superintendents.”Clunis shared that he has a family of four, and he is

close to being an empty nester himself, with his lastchild in college.He also said his in-laws have a cabin which is about

a “pitching wedge away from the maintenance build-ing.”“I enjoy this area and really like this part of the world

… I’m looking forward to the opportunity here.It is all about meeting needs by exceeding expecta-

tions and providing an exceptional experience at LuckGolf Course.”One thing is clear, there is a new buzz at the Luck

AMERY –Golfers will cer-tainly find a chal-lenging course inAmery, in whichhalf of its 18

holes have water hazards.Amery Golf Club, nestled on 150 acres

of land inside the city of Amery, is an 18-hole regulation course that provides nu-merous challenges along the way.Golfers gain confidence on the first hole,which is the easiest par on the course, ac-cording to club manager Kevin Maupin.The course continues to get more diffi-

cult after hole number one, but the frontnine holes are generally easier than theback nine. Golfers cross Deronda Streetto play holes number 10, 11 and 12.When teeing off on hole number 10,golfers are required to hit the ball overwater and then deal with water on bothsides of the fairway.Hole number 11 is regarded as the

course’s signature hole, because it’s a bitsecluded from the rest of the course andis surrounded by white birch, poplar andaspen trees. It’s especially pretty in thefall when leaves on the trees are turningcolors, Maupin said. The par-3 signature hole is 148 yards

from the men’s white tee, and golfersneed to hit the ball over water. “It’s probably one of the nicest par 3s

in this area,”Maupin added.There’s a drop circle on the other side

of the pond. Once golfers are able to getthe ball over the pond, they then need to

deal with sand bunkers on both sides ofthe green. But golfers who hit the ballstraight over the pond should be suc-cessful.Don’t be surprised to see some wildlife

on the course, especially around the sig-nature hole, such as eagles, osprey,turkeys, ducks, fox and deer.The back nine also includes the tough-

est hole on the course. Hole number 14is regarded as the most difficult, Maupinsaid. It’s a horseshoe-shaped hole that is525 yards from the men’s tee. It’s alsotough in that golfers can’t see the flag

when teeing off, just like hole numbernine.Chris Schanon is the course superin-

tendent. Schanon stated, "The golfcourse came through the winter in excel-lent shape. Everyone that comes out willenjoy a great golf experience." AGCprides itself on its extremely friendly at-mosphere, so come out and have fun!"

Gain a mental edge on the courseHAWAII – Across the country, men and women rou-

tinely turn to golf as a means of relaxation and lettingoff steam. However, many players soon discover thatgolf can be as stressful as a day at the office. Such was the case for Darrin Gee, author and founder

of Darrin Gee’s Spirit of Golf Academy. Like many peo-ple, Gee liked to hit the links as a means of letting loose.With a background in marketing, sales and corporatestrategy, Gee is well aware of the stress that comes withworking in a corporate environment. Looking to quellhis frustration on the golf course, Gee soon developedhis own approach to mastering the game and nowshares it with readers in his new book “The Seven Prin-ciples of Golf: Master the Mental Game On and Off theCourse,” published by Stewart, Tabori & Chang.Utilizing his Bachelor of Arts in psychology from

UCLA, Gee shares the best way to mentally approachthe often-frustrating game of golf. In recent years, thetechnique has been made famous by world renownedplayers such as Vijay Singh, Annika Sorenstam andeven Tiger Woods. Each has used sports psychologistsin the hopes of gaining an edge. For proof of the suc-cess of a finely tuned mental approach, one need lookno further than the nearest leader board, where you’resure to find the names “Sorenstam” and “Singh” at ornear the top.Living in Hawaii where he has worked personally

with over 3,500 clients and has taught over 5,000 pupilsat his school, Gee sought to reach a larger audience thatperhaps could not make it to the Big Island and figuredwriting a book would meet that goal.Throughout the book, Gee provides exercises which

are both easy to understand and simple to follow. Hav-ing benefitted from the exercises himself, Gee waspleasantly surprised with the results such exercises pro-duced not only on the golf course, but away from thelinks as well.“I believe that if you can take one ounce of your pas-

sion for golf or whatever you truly love and apply it tothe rest of your experiences, you will surely lead a morefulfilling and gratifying life,” Gee says.To learn more about Gee and mastering the mental

side of golf or to order your own copy of “The SevenPrinciples of Golf,” visit www.hnabooks.com. – MetroCreative Graphics

Play golf in your living roomSTATEWIDE – Golf is one of the most popular sports,

growing by leaps and bounds among people of all ages.In the United States alone, 26.7 million people — in-cluding more than one of every six adults — currentlyplay golf, say statistics. Among total numbers of golfers,an estimated 2.9 million are between the ages of 5 and17.While golf is certainly an activity the entire family can

enjoy, some do not have the means or the time to makerepeated trips to the course and traverse the links. Oth-ers are looking to continue the game long after they’vesunk their last hole.There are ways to enjoy the premise of golf at your

convenience and under any weather conditions. Theseideas can also be used as gifts for the hard-to-buy-forgolf fan or entertainment options for themed parties.• Purchase an instructional video by a favorite coach

or player and watch it as a group.• Look for a computer or video-game-system game

that simulates golf play. For team play, set up fun com-petitions for who can beat par.• Design a few practice holes or a miniature putting

green in the yard if there is ample acreage to do so. Hosta party around your private golf country club.• Upgrade to a cable television package that offers

sports coverage on demand that can be recorded orwatched when a professional golf game is being broad-

cast.• Box of Golf® can be

played by the whole fam-ily, including those whoplay golf and those whodon’t. The entire game ishoused in a collectiblewooden box. It comescomplete with eighteenholes and is a combina-tion of luck and strategy,just like the real thing. Justlike in real golf, the objectis to beat par. The parnumber for each hole is lo-cated in the upper left cor-ner of each board. Youbegin each hole on the TeeBox and move your play-ing piece based on match-ing like colors on yourdice. You are trying tobeat par on each hole bytaking the least number ofturns to get to the cup onthe putting surface. –Metro Creative Graphics

Golf technology becomes par for the courseSTATEWIDE – Remember when golf used to be sim-

ple? You’d grab your clubs and hit a golf ball down thefairway. But that was before golf went high-tech. Nowadays,

more and more golfers are whipping out a handheldpersonal digital assistant, global positioning system orother gadget to obtain diagrams of the course, distancemeasurements, pro tips, information on wind velocityor elevation and maybe order a beer and burger fromthe clubhouse’s restaurant. Even the golf ball has be-come complex, tweaked to allow golfers to hit the ballfarther with greater accuracy.Such high-tech devices are promising to improve

golfers games not to mention help some golf coursesacross the country lure golfers to their courses with thelatest technology, golf experts say. Indeed, some golfcourses are installing Wi-Fi hotspots to help golfersmeasure course distances and surf online for stock up-dates and sports scores. Companies are identifying golfers needs and devel-

oping specific technology geared to improving thespeed and precision of their games, says Andy Brumer,author of “The Golf Revolution: How Technology isDriving the Game,” TechTV, 2003.

GPS devices a digital caddyBefore, golfers needed a caddy to inform them about

the course, yardages, hazards and dangers to avoid.Now, a GPS can tell you that. And some golfers have found them useful in getting

them to the green faster and staying below par. These GPS devices — mostly found installed in golf

carts at high-end golf or resort courses — boast high-resolution color monitors that pinpoint distances to thehole. Many GPS devices also can suggest game strategyand recommend which club the golfer should use. Fur-

thermore, GPS programs often allow golfers to comparetheir games to other players’, monitor the position ofother golfers on the course to determine when theyshould tee off, and provide instant contact to the club-house in case of golf cart troubles or a medical emer-gency. “The graphics are continually getting better,” Brumer

says about GPS monitors. Plus, they’ve been useful inimproving golfers games and speeding up the game, headds. That’s because precise information golfers needto set up the perfect shot is often at their fingertips. “[Golfers] can carry them around, get measurements

of how far their shot is, outlines of each hole with dia-grams and suggested course strategies,” Brumer says.Some golf courses are also finding these devices can beuseful in gaining revenue by flashing advertising on themonitors.Golfers can also turn their smartphone or palm pilot

into their golf caddy. Software on such systems can beintegrated with GPS to provide golfers with scoring,course information and shot tracking.

Golf clubThe golf club also continues to get technologically ad-

vanced. Golfers may tap simulators to determine clubmovement, club head speed, path and ball flight inhelping to take the guesswork out of choosing the rightclub or improving their swing. Brumer says the sport is seeing more of these launch

monitors in club fitting and testing. Launch monitorsmight use a camera or digital method to measure datawhen the golfer hits a ball against a wall, which canthen be used to reveal such items as the spin rate, speedand direction of the ball, Brumer says. Some golfers may even be able to put this technology

right into their club. For example, one such product —

SmartSwing, developed by an Austin, Texas-based golfsystems company — allows golfers to have a circuit em-bedded in their club that collects information on theirswing while on the course. The data is stored in theclub’s memory and then later can be downloaded intogolfers computers to access a graphic of their swing. Itprovides information about the acceleration and rota-tion of the swing too.Some products — such as EDH Sport’s FlightScope

— can also trace or record the actual flight of the ballwhen it is struck. These products track the ball and an-alyze the characteristics of the ball’s flight to helpgolfers find the club that produces the best shot forthem, Brumer says. Along those same lines, some golfers are finding that

using virtual reality programs — such as Virtually Per-fect Golf — may also help improve their swings.Golfers wear a virtual reality head monitor as theyswing in a simulated environment. A virtual instructoroffers swing analysis, including errors in the swing, andoverlays the golfer’s swing with a model for compari-son. It then guides golfers on how to achieve the perfectswing.Whether tapping virtual reality or accessing satellites

for GPS, golfers are finding many options in ball, cluband system technology to choose from in improvingtheir game. “There is always new technology being introduced,”

Brumer says. Some golf experts predict that many ofthese devices will soon become more prevalent amongamateur golfers. Brumer expects that launch monitorsused for club fitting will especially grow in popularityin the coming months.“I think [golfers] will start to see it more at driving

ranges,” he says, “and we’re already seeing it at the bigretailers.” – Metro Creative Graphics

As more and more golfers are learning, the rightmental approach can make all the difference on thegolf course.

New way to improve your golf swingSTATEWIDE – Golfers are constantly looking for

ways to improve their game. They may hire instructorsor pore over endless videos by golf masters. Somespend hours at the driving range hoping practice will be what it takes. Other golfers are turning to Pilateswhen traditional methods don’t yield the desiredresults.Pilates is a method of strength trainng that was

developed in the early 20th century by Joseh Pilates.Pilates found that you could strengthen the core bodymuscles, the “powerhouse,” encompassing the adomenlower back, hips, and buttocks, for overall health.His is a total body conditioning program that empha-sizes proper alignment, centering, concentration, con-trol, precision, breathing, and flowing movement.Today, Pilates is one of the fastest-growing fitness

activities in America. Since the cost of a private Pilatessession with a properly licensed instructor is comp-arable to or only slightly more expensive than apersonal training session, it is something anyonecan try.Because of these points, Pilates has grown outside the

world of strictly fitness into the realm of rehabilitation,sports and improving day-to-day activities. “Your golf instructor can tell you how to change

and improve your swing, but sometimes your body justwon’t move that way,” says Sarah Christensen,founder of Hole in One Pilates. “Pilates techniquesdevelop a solid core of strength with flexibility, stability,balance, alignment and posture — all of the bodyrequirements for the golf swing.” While any Pilatesroutine will help general performance, Hole in One

PilatesTM was designed specifically to enhancethe biomechanics of the golf swing. Many of theexercises have also been adapted to men’s physicalrequirements, and new exercises have been added forincreasing rotation and flexibility in the neck,shoulders, torso and upper back.Golfers like Tiger Woods and Butch Harmon, “Golf

Digest’s” No. 1 golf instructor, aren’t the only sportsfigures adding Pilates to their routines. TheNBA’s New Jersey Nets now have Pilates equipment intheir weight room and frequently have equipmentshipped to hotels when the team is on the road.Additionally, everyone from football stars to baseballpitchers are incorporating Pilates training into theirworkouts to improve performance or prevent injury.Some players once made fun of their wives and girl-friends for doing Pilates, but quickly have learned thebenefits Pilates provide.Due to its popularity, Pilates studios are popping-

up all over at a fast rate. Not all offer the proper train-ing first instituted by Joseph Pilates. Therefore, whenchoosing an instructor, look for one with certification. –Metro Creative Graphics
