Spring is just around the corner and that means it is time for our young golfers to get out their golf clubs and
start playing some golf! There’s no better way to do this then through the Jr. Eastern Shore Golf League! The
JR. ESGL is designed to give young golfers the opportunity to learn the game in a relaxed, competitive
atmosphere at an affordable cost. The golfers that participate in the JR. ESGL will use this program as a tune
up for their Jr. Tour golf tournament events or begin to prepared for their high school try outs. The younger
beginning golfers will use the JR. ESGL to learn the game through lessons and golf matches at modified
distances. The JR. ESGL is a great way to meet new people, make new friends, and get some exercise all
while enjoying the game of golf. The JR. ESGL is in its fourth year and we are proud to say that some golfers
who have participated in our program in the past have gone on or are about to go on to extend their golfing
career by playing golf at the collegiate level at schools like Shepherd University, York College, Catholic
University & Bridgewater College.
If your young golfer would like to join the JR. ESGL registration is currently open at
www.wicomicorecandparks.org or if you would like more information about the program please contact
Brian Workman, program director at 410-548-4900 ext. 105 bworkman@wicomicocounty.org

high school golf
By William Knopf, Head Coach Washington High School
Grip it and Rip it!
When we are out on the golf course with players, friends, competition,
etc. one of the first things that is noticed is the distance off the tee!
Hitting a huge drive has effects on the golfer’s mindset almost as much
as missing an “easy” putt. This month I will discuss a better strategy
that can help lower your scores and make you a better player.
THINK BACK TO THE LAST ROUND YOU PLAYED.
You are on the tee box of a par 4 or 5 and the first thing that you
attempt to do is advance the ball as far as you can like the men and
women on Tour, so you Grip it and Rip it! A couple questions come
to mind; “How good is a 300+ yard drive if it is in the woods?” “How
good is a 300+ yard drive wide left if the hole is a dogleg right?” How
can we fix this?
HERS’S HOW. Most players have a “favorite” distance, the one
that they feel the most comfortable with. For me that distance has been
145 yards for a long time. Therefore if I am not having a good driver
day or want to play smart, I will need to do some quick math on the tee
box. This technique can be used on any tee box, par 3, par 4 or even
a par 5. If the par 4 is playing 325 yards and requires an accurate tee
shot, I only need to hit 180-190 yards off the tee. Instead of the driver
I can pull out the 2-hybrid or 3-hybrid and place my ball about 145
yards out. Now I am within my “comfortable” distance and should be
able to score better. One of the techniques that I use with my players
is to play a round with their “favorite club.” With this club, they know
the distance the ball will travel. Most players select a 7 or 8 iron, which
makes the ball travel on average 120-150 yards. So, let’s look at a
medium par

42 MAR.APR.2019 ESGM 240.832.3237 www.ESGMagazine.comEQUIPMENT+INSTRUCTION
This is the time of year when all the manufacturers release all
of their new equipment with bold promises of faster and farther.
Think about it, if they create a club that hits it 5 to 10 yards farther
every year the ball would be flying 700 yards by now. Are the
players on tour hitting it farther than ever? Yes, but I attribute that
more to athletic conditioning than equipment in recent years.
Not to mention that they have lengthened the average driver
length out to 46 inches. The fastest way to drop your handicap
and get better at golf is to find an instructor that can recognize
your weaknesses and turn them into strengths. Getting lesson
packages will do more for your game than purchasing that new
driver every year for $500. The knowledge from lessons lasts a
lifetime while that $500 driver depreciates by half every year.
Do yourself a favor and make the investment in your golf future.
Make a commitment to play better golf by learning. All the best
players in the area share two traits, they practice and they have
a guru. The choice is yours.
golfnews@easternshoregolf.net MAR.APR.2019 43UMESUPDATE!
Every January, for the last 10 years, the students and faculty of the
University of Maryland Eastern Shore’s PGA Golf Management
Program head south to loosen the rust off our golf swings and
attend the PGA Merchandise Show. On January 22nd, the
PGA Show opened with an equipment Demo Day where every
manufacture has a booth surrounded by a 360 degree driving
range at the Orange County National Golf Center in Orlando,
Florida. For the students, the Demo Day is equivalent to being
a ‘kid in a candy store’. At each booth you are allowed to test
new equipment including drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, irons,
wedges, and putters around the driving range.
January 23rd through 25th, launches the real work for the students
and faculty of the PGM Program at the PGA Merchandise Show.
As PGA Head Golf Professionals walk around the PGA Show
they stop by the UMES exhibitor booth to meet with our PGM
students to discuss employment opportunities once the student
graduates.
“Attendance for our students is
paramount as employers within the Chris Prosser, Langston Frazier-student, Cam Smith-student,
Suzy Whaley President of the PGA of America
golf industry have rolling interviews
throughout the PGA Merchandise
Show until their staffing level needs
are met”, said Billy Dillon, Director of
UMES PGM Program.
This year, on Thursday, January 24th, we had a special visitor when
the 41st President of the PGA of America, Suzy Whaley, stopped
by the UMES PGM booth to speak with the students. In 2003,
Suzy became the first woman in 58 years to play a tournament
on the PGA Tour by qualifying for the Greater Hartford Open.
In November, 2018 she became the 41st President of the PGA.
This unique experience is invaluable to our PGM students and
faculty, which is proven by our 100% annual job placement. It
often opens the eyes of those that attend to new possibilities in the
field, and provides truly unique settings for industry networking.

secret key
We all seek the “secret key” to unlock our potential, the one thing that will ensure power,
accuracy, and consistency in our game. The irony is we do find it. It is a magical serendipity.
Then just as quickly it vanishes. Yet understanding why a swing key works, is more important
than the key itself.
A good swing key is a cue to heighten our awareness of an important fundamental. It is
personal. What works for one player may have no meaning for another. Yet, considering the
favorite swing keys of great players is beneficial. Such keys offer good advice and help us
discover our own best keys.
Effective keys are not laws to obey beginning with “Don’t”. They are positive affirmations
to do the right thing. They are simple, sometimes just one word. Annika Sorenstam’s key:
“Six”. On a 10 point scale she wanted her swing tempo to be six. In winning The Open Rory
YOUR
McIlroy’s key for long shots: “Process”. A disciplined routine and commitment to the shot, not
anxiety about the result. Rory’s putting key: “Spot.” Roll the ball over his chosen spot on the
line at the right speed and putts will drop. Jack Nicklaus instructed his caddie to remind him
PATH
when a championship was on the line: “Complete the back swing.” The implicit message:
be confident, patient, trust yourself. Quickness and impatience are symptoms of doubt.
TO
Athletic performance is constrained by training and physique. Our ability to move is defined
by strength, flexibility, balance, kinesthetic awareness. The way we move is the function of
PAR
the way we have habitually performed a particular motor skill. To change ineffective habits,
improve fitness and technique requires learning and training away from the course, not
during your game. You play with your swing that exists on that day. The full swing feel can
change from day to day. The function of your key is to cue your mind to the task at hand and
the feeling that is optimal for you. Its effectiveness is as much to eliminate distracting thoughts
as to suggest a proper action.
To discover your key, accept your tendency for the day. If you are missing the target to the
right, or shots are coming up short, adapt. Take a little more club and align yourself to create
a margin for error, play to the left side of the fairway or green. There could be numerous
reasons for your pattern of the day. Trying to figure out the cause on the course is just another
distraction. Adjusting to the shot pattern of the day keeps you in the “game” and doing so
you are more likely to rediscover your best swing. Focus on feeling a good swing rather than
controlling the ball.
Perhaps the best swing key to start the new season is “balance”. Keep your balance and
good things happen. Herculean, high speed, explosive swings of Tour professionals are
impressive athleticism, but no matter how fast or powerful their effort appears, they maintain
balance. Your best swing tempo may be fast or slow, swing length long or short, swing plane
upright or flat, but any motion that causes you to lose balance, is flawed.
“If I think about one thing beginning a round I am confident I can win. If I think about two
things, I might win. If I think about three things, I have no chance.” Bobby Jones.

YOU KNOW
THE DRILL
by steve menz
The
work - up/warm - up
Try this warm up the next time you go out to play.
A bucket of balls usually has between 25 and 40 balls.
Please don’t hit 35 drivers and five
7 irons and rush off to the first tee. Work your way up
and through your swing. Start by hitting
a couple half wedges at a distinct target. Then hit a
couple full wedges. Move up to a shorter iron like a 8
or 9 iron for a few swings. Then again to a 5 or a 6
iron. You get the idea. Save your last swings for a driver.
Hitting 5 balls with 5 different length clubs will better
suit your game when you get to the first tee.
Now you know the drill!
