FROM THE DIRECTOR OF GOLF

Dear Hot Springs Village Golf Members,

During the winter months, golf activity and related updates are naturally limited. To ensure members continue to receive timely and relevant information, the Golf Department newsletter will transition to a biweekly schedule for the winter season. This approach allows us to share meaningful updates as they arise, while avoiding unnecessary repetition when there is little new to report.

Regular weekly updates will resume as golf activity increases in the spring.

Respectfully,

Gary Porter

Please read the Fore You publication that highlights our last Golf Committee meeting. The Fore You is filled with important information, so pass it on to your friends. If you ever have questions, don't hesitate to reach out to someone on the Golf Committee. Thanks so much.

PRO TIPS BY TOM HEFFER

Technology in Club Design

An interesting chart shows the comparison of golf club lofts through the years. Look at the pitching wedge loft go from 52 degrees in the 1970s to 44 degrees in today’s clubs.

Wood-Hybrid Comparison

I have been often asked what is a 9-wood comparable to in a hybrid? Here is the typical breakdown of comparisons in a hybrid versus a fairway wood. As you can see, a 9 wood is equivalent to a 4 hybrid.

GOLF CART CROSSINGS

Please remember, when you are crossing roads with a golf cart, you must stop and make sure that it is safe to pass. Vehicle Traffic has the right of way. Please always be alert and be safe.

We continue to keep these crossings clear to see traffic approaching in both directions.
