Practice makes perfect, especially if youâre a golfer practicing with some of the Top 100 Golf Teachers in America. More than 30 golfers were doing just that at the Golf Studio at Old Palm Golf Club during the weekend of December 4-6. Our own Director of Instruction, Mark Hackett, who is also one of those elite 100 instructors, led the much anticipated golf school event. It began casually Friday afternoon, as the participants were given fitness screenings to reveal their gamesâ weaknesses and strengths. Afterwards, they got acquainted and swapped golf stories at a cocktail party. On Saturday morning, the instruction began in earnest as the golfers were taught all sorts of easy-to-follow tips to improve every aspect of their games. Dr. Craig Farnsworth, the famed optometrist-turned-putting-guru, showed golfers his step-by-step prescription for building a reliable putting stroke. Mike Adams, creator of the LAWS of Golf philosophy, showed golfers…

  On most golf courses, the 19^th hole is nothing more than the bar—a watering hole, so to speak. But at Old Palm Golf Club, you’ll find a real 19^th hole, just like the ones in Scotland Traditionally, these holes were built to settle friendly wagers when golf matches were tied at the end of 18 holes, so they had to be challenging yet fair.
