PGA Golf Professional Marty Bohen and Golf Course Superintendent Pat McNamara have the golf course at Kutsher's Country Club in great playing condition and this facility is a must play as it's not so tough that average golfers can enjoy it, but it's still a challenge for any golfer.
PGA Pro Bohen is starting his fourth year at Kutsher's and brings to the game of golf professional experience and standing.
A graduate of the University of Southern California with a B.S. Degree in Accounting and the PGA Business School, Marty has a professional standing as head professional Class "A" member of PGA of America.
Prior to coming to Kutsher's Bohen was head golf professional at the Spook Rock Golf Course in Suffern, was a teaching professional at the Leewood Golf Club in Eastchester, played tournament golf on the U.S. tour from 1972 to 1975 and in New Zealand, Australia, far east and Europe tours from 1975-1979. He also served as a teaching pro at the The Country Club in Cleveland, OH and the Elmwood Country Club in White Plains, NY.
The Marty Bohen Golf Shop is attractive, well equipped and a full pro shop. Lessons are also available.
Food at the club house will be available from mid-June on through the summer at the 19th Hole Cafe.
Kutsher's can certainly be labeled a well-rounded course and when playing it you can see that architect William Mitchell designed a classic parkland course with tree-lined fairways, sloping greens, strategic bunkering and lurking hazards. The real fairness of the design is its variety of holes and Mitchell shaped Kutsher's holes in all directions, both up and down hills.
The first nine holes were constructed in 1958 and the second nine in 1961.
This 18-hole USGA course plays 7001 yards from the blue tees and is a par 71. The course also has a driving range and putting and chipping greens.
Golf rates, including cart, for 18-holes, are $39 for midweek and $52 on the weekend. Rates after 1 p.m. Monday through Friday are $33 and weekends $40. Rates after 3 p.m. are $24 for week days and $27 on the weekend. Also available are special group rates for 40 or more people which includes food.
For tee times the golf course can be reached at 794-6000, ext. 5.
This week we introduce you to the front nine, playing from the blue tees for a total of 3613 yards and a par 36, featuring five par 4s, two par 3s and two par 5s.
Hole No. 1 is a 415-yard par 4 with pretty much an open fairway and some trees on the right. About 200 yards from the green on the right side of the fairway is a trap, so your best tee shot should stay to the center of the fairway. Traps are on the left and right sides of this large first hole green....a nice comfortable opening hole.
Hole No. 2 is a 460-yard par 4 with trees on both sides of the fairway. A fairway trap on the right is about 115 yards from the green. There is a trap on the left front section of the green.
Hole No. 3 is a 168 yard par 3 slightly down hill from an elevatred tee. There is a small pond on the right some 15-20 yards from the green and traps on the left and right sides of the green. Club selection is important here and finding the green on your tee shot helps for making the par 3.
Hole No. 4 is a 415 yard par 4 with a fairway sand trap some 160 yards from the green. Traps are on the left and right front section of the green.
Hole No. 5 is a 425-yard par 4 with traps on the right side of the fairway. There is pretty much an open fairway to the left. A trap will greet you in the middle of the fairway and there are traps on both the left and right sides of this sloping green.For a par here....it is a must to stay out of the traps.
Hole No. 6 is a 575-yard pr 5 and this is the longest hole on the front nine. The hole features a dogleg left with an open fairway. There is a pond on the left side of the fairway some 150 yards from the green. There is a fairway trap on the right some 40 yards from the green. Traps are on the right center and left side of the green. Club selection and staying away from the pond and traps help to score par on this hole.
Hole No. 7 is a 220-yard par 3 with trees on the left and right sides of this fairway. Large traps are on the front left side and right side of this green. The key to your par here is club selection from the tee.
Hole No. 8 is a 415-yard par 4 with a dog let right and an open fairway . Traps are on the left and right sides of the green.
Hole No. 9 is a 520-yard par 5 with fairway traps left and right and a sharp dogleg right. A nice, open fairway and a good tee and fairway shot puts most golfers in line for a birdie or par. Traps are on the left and right sides of the green. A nice hole to finish the front nine.
The Golf Tip
By Robert Menges
Scoring is about getting the ball im the hole with the least amount of strokes, and the short game is a key component to accomplishing this.
One of the ways to improve the short game is to work on distance control.
In this drill, I set up four targets...whether it's buckets or whatever visual object you can find...with distances ranging from 10 to 40 yards.
After the targets are in place you then hit one ball at each target in sequence. By hitting at different targets in sequence, you once again will prevent yourself from locking in to one distance. In the long run, this will help you develop better feel for your distance control.
As far as club selection, I suggest you start with a 5 degree wedge for this drill, and then experiment with your other wedges. The key here is to develop your touch for the different distances.
