The Golf Channel came to Old Palm recently to shoot an episode of âPlaying Lessons with the Prosâ with Lee Westwood, who now lives full time in the Custom Estates neighborhood. Hosted by Holly Sonders, the episode will air this spring. A sneak preview was broadcast on the Golf Channelâs âMorning Drive,â during which Sonders related the benefits of Westwoodâs move from England to Old Palm. He loves the weather, is far less jet-lagged when he plays on the PGA Tour, and his short game has improved dramatically because he has time to practice at Old Palmâs spectacular Golf Studio. During the episode, Westwood demonstrated one of the more difficult shots in golfâhitting a somewhat lengthy shot from a greenside bunker. With a 60-degree lob wedge in hand, Westwood explained, âI open the clubface, take a nice wide stance and dig in [with his feet]. Then, I come in wide and throw the club under the ball.â It came out beautifully and landed close to the pin. No need for Take Two.
