Coming to Naples next month is the ACE Group Classic, which is going to be back at Twin Eagles after a hiatus for a few years.?The Champions Tour stop has been coming to Naples for a long time now, and the field seems to add another great name each year.

?

For many of the Naples snow birds, these guys are the ones we grew up watching on television in the pre high-def days; back when plaid pants, wide collars, white belts, and long hair were in style the first time around. I¡¯m still amazed that those guys were so accurate and consistent, with the equipment they used and the golf balls they were given.

?

It really would be neat to have Ben Hogan or Sam Snead tee it up in their prime with today¡¯s equipment and see just how good they are at playing the game. On a recent visit back home, I hit a handful of balls into the field behind our house with my old, laminated, real wood driver that I used back in high school. What an eye opener that was. It was and inch or so shorter, and about twice as heavy as my current Titleist driver. The amazing thing is that those players from the Champions Tour could probably pick up a set of old laminated woods, irons with tiny, skinny blades, and an old Bullseye putter and wheel it around in a couple under par.

?

Next fall, Naples will be again host the LPGA Tour.?I know a few people who love going to watch the LPGA Tour as opposed to the PGA Tour because the game they play is closer to what we see when the ladies tee it up as opposed to the men.?When I say the ladies¡¯ game is closer to how the average country club member is playing, I strictly mean that in regards to distance off the tee and with the irons.

?

So many of the men on tour step up and bomb it 300 yards plus off the tee, which only about 1% of the Naples golfers can do, yet there are a lot of local players that can hit it the same distance as the ladies.? However, the ladies out on tour are there because they hit the ball so solid, they are so accurate, they are such good putters, and they control their anxiety so well, that even those that miss the cut would blow the doors off almost everybody in Naples.

?

At LaPlaya, Laurel Kean is one of the professionals on staff. She spent 18 years out on the tour and is still a great player, and if you look at her 8 iron compared to mine, she has a worn spot on the face of her club about the size of a nickel.

?

We don¡¯t even have time or room for the Shark Shootout.? With three great events in Naples, whichever tour you prefer, get out and watch how the real players play the game.

PHOTOS: Time to test your driving skills - at the Coral Isle Golf Center
On looking at the tall screens along Collier Blvd. on their way to Marco Island, one might assume that simply a driving range is tucked away along the four-lane route. But the Coral Isle Golf Center has much more to offer than one might assume.

?

During the winter season the Coral Isle Golf Center range is fully lighted for nighttime practice. Lights come on at 5:30 p.m. and stay on until 9:00 p.m. Golfers may purchase tokens at anytime in the golf shop for use in the ball machine. When the golf shop is closed golfers may purchase tokens from the token machine located on the back outside wall of the golf shop.

?

On-site golf instructor Scott B. Moser (named after Byron Nelson) has been the primary instructor at Coral Isle for eight seasons. Moser's thirty plus years as a golf professional inlude time at Naples, Imperial Golf Club, 18 years at Oakwood Club in Cleveland, Ohio and Golf Director of Paradise Golf Schools from 1994 through 2002 has given him a perspective on teaching all levels and all kinds of golfers.

?

Owners Jeff Grieco and Hunter Nicholl have lived in Naples nearly all of their lives. Their combined talents led them to purchase Coral Isle in 2001. Grieco brings a small business and entrepreneurial spirit the range. Nicholl was trained and worked at a prestigious private club in Naples as a PGA Golf Professional. Coral Isle may be a public golf facility but treats its customers with a private touch.

Wyndemere Golf Tournament raises over $85,000 for Youth Haven January 19th, 2012 - NAPLES, FLORIDA ¨C Wyndemere Country Club¡¯s 25th Annual Charity Golf Tournament was successfully held this past Monday, January 16th, 2012. ?The tournament raised more than $85,000 for Youth Haven, Southwest Florida¡¯s residential emergency shelter for abused and neglected children and adolescents. ?The success of the 2012 event brings the total amount of funds raised for Youth Haven since the inaugural event in 1987 to $1.1 million dollars.
?
More than 135 friends and supporters of Youth Haven hit the links for a fun-filled day of friendly competition. ?An engaging golf tips clinic led by E.J. McDonnell, Head Golf Professional at Bonita Bay Club and three-time long drive competition finalist, $1,000 cash prize putting contest, silent and live auctions, and an awards reception rounded out the day¡¯s activities. ?PGA Tour Professional and Golf Channel Analyst, Mark Lye made a special appearance serving as the event¡¯s celebrity Master of Ceremonies.
?
¡°Our great appreciation goes out to all the sponsors and players involved in this remarkable event,¡± said Dr. Rosanne Winter, Executive Director of Youth Haven. ?¡°They have helped provide Youth Haven with the means to carry out our mission to protect children and strengthen families in Southwest Florida. ?To top it off, we all had a great time playing on a phenomenal golf course.¡± Read more... Scott Richardson: PGA suggests players - 'Tee It Forward'
For the past several months, the PGA of America has been promoting a program that they call ¡°Tee it Forward."? What prompted this was a study done on how far a golf course would play for most normal amateur golfers compared to how far the courses play for the average PGA Tour player. ?It is a fascinating study on distance, ability, and ego.

?

The basic premise was to encourage golfers to play a course yardage that was in alignment with their driver distance. ?For example: ?If your normal tee shot goes 250 yards, you should be playing a yardage of 6200 ¨C 6400 yards. ?If your normal tee shot goes 200 yards, you should be playing a yardage of 5200 ¨C 5400 yards.

?

The official chart can be found at www.pga.com. ?Trying to get the amateur golfers to play a similar golf course as the PGA Tour pros, means that after you both hit your drive on a par 4, you would both be hitting the same club in to the green. For so many golfers who play a course in the 6700 yard range, it is similar to a tour pro playing a course that is in the 8100 yard range. That is 700 to 800 yards longer than almost all of the longest courses that they play. The game will certainly be more fun when people are hitting 6, 7, & 8 irons into some of the greens at their local club, as opposed to 3, 4, & 5 hybrids.

?

At LaPlaya Golf Club, we have couple players who decided that they would have more fun playing a shorter golf course, so they moved up to the green tees. ?It took a few weeks for their handicaps to level out and come down by a couple of strokes, but most importantly, they were enjoying the game much more than they were playing a longer golf course. They were hitting more greens in regulation, they were using more of their clubs throughout their round, and they felt less pressure to hit a perfect drive just to have a chance to reach the green in regulation.

?

One of the Pros we have on staff here at LaPlaya is Laurel Kean, who played on the LPGA Tour for 18 years. When we have a chance to play a quick 9-hole match in the afternoon, I usually play the back set of tees and she will play the members set of tees. This keeps us reasonably close in regards to what irons we are hitting into the green on most of the par 3¡¯s and 4¡¯s. ?We would have some really great matches if her putting wasn¡¯t so good or mine were a little better.

?

Why are people reluctant to Tee it Forward? ?I think it is mainly ego. They don¡¯t want to play a different color tee marker, or they have a certain yardage in their head, or all of their buddies are playing from a different tee. After seeing how much more fun golfers can have playing from the proper distance, I am jumping on the bandwagon. Try it for your next round and Tee it Forward.

Wes Smith Pro Tip: Grip Position and Pressure - grab those clubs...but how?
NaplesGolf.com is pleased to announce a new instructional series provided by local golf instructor, Wes Smith. This week Wes takes a look at grip and pressure. We all can't wait to head out to the course and grab those clubs. But how should you grab them? That is the question...

?

Part I - Grip Position

Everything in golf starts with the grip.? How you hold the club determines what swing motion you need to produce the ball flight you want.

?

A neutral position grip is formed by pointing the creases formed by the thumb and forefinger of each hand which should to be pointed toward the right shoulder.? This grip position allows the hands to work as one unit during the swing.? This is very important because if the creases are not parallel with each other, the hands will fight each other during the swing and you will develop a one hand one arm swing.

?

Part II ¨C Grip Pressure

In the forty years I¡¯ve had the privilege of helping people learn this wonderful game, one thing they all have in common is that they grip the club to tight.? As they anticipate impact their grip tightens, locking their wrists and preventing the release and rotation of the club.? This is the single most reason why everyone slices the ball as a beginner.? Reduce your grip pressure (3 on a scale of 10 is perfect) this will lower your score and stop your hands from hurting.
