National Golf Month at The Mountain
August is National Golf Month and here at Superstition Mountain Golf and Country Club, we think that’s the perfect excuse to spend more time on our two stunning Nicklaus-designed courses. This month is all about celebrating the sport we love – from its rich history to the joy of a perfectly struck shot sailing down the fairway. Whether you’re a seasoned member chasing your next low round, a casual weekend player or someone just starting out in the game, it’s the perfect time to brush up on your skills. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite golf blogs to help you get into the swing of things before temperatures start to cool down and golf season in Arizona heats up.
Master The Short Game
They say you drive for show and putt for dough, and it’s true, your short game can make or break a round. Hone your skills with these five effective putting drills and practice distance control, swing rhythm and alignment. Your work will be rewarded when the difference between bragging rights and buying post-round drinks comes down to sinking that 8-foot putt.
Bust Out Of The Bunker
No golfer loves getting sandy, but with the right approach you can step into the bunker with confidence. Learn to read the lie, choose the correct club and execute a smooth, committed swing that pops the ball out cleanly onto the green. Master these bunker-busting tips and that hazard may not be such a scary place.
