No Golf At Kutsher's This year
The recent redone Kutsher's Golf Course that opened for play last summer will not be open for play in 2019.
YO1 Wellness Center Marketing Manager Abhiruchi Jain announced recently that there will be no golf played this year.
In March Jahn said, "we do not have plans to re-open Kutsher's Country Club this season as our focus entirely is on the YO1 Wellness Center.
Internal discussions are on-going and we plan on maintaining the Kutsher's property at its clurrent state.....please stay tuned," Jahn said.
Veria Lifestyle Inc., are the owners of the YO1 wellness Center and YO1 Country Club Inc. and they want to continue renovating the Kutsher's Country Club some time in the future.
"This is a historic property, and when we do it, we have to do it right," Director of Operations Gaurav Navin said.
"We are still maintaining the course," Nevin said.
Future reported plans for the course include a pro shop, golf cart storage, driving range and an indoor/outdoor banquet hall.
Ed's Outlook
The 2019 golf season is underway but three major golf courses will not be open for play this year.
Grossinger's is still being maintained but will not open for play during 2019.
The Monster Golf Course at Resorts World Catskills is getting upgrades and it's reported that the new course will be a more easier course to play when it opens.
No specific dates have been announced but there have been indications the course might be open this fall depending on construction and the weather.
Also as noted above there is no golf at Kutsher's for 2019.
Golf Courses open for the season include, Lochmor, Tarry Brae, Swan Lake, Sullivan County Golf & Country Club, The Club At Villa Roma, Tennanah Lake and Twin Village Golf Club.
The Golf Tip
By Robert Menges
In today's ever-changing golf game, most players are under the influence that if they hit the ball longer they will play better.
Even though technology has increased how far the ball will travel, the scores are about the same.
There is no doubt that if you hit the ball longer you should have less club to the green and be able to get the ball closer to the hole and make more putts.
I believe this to be true, but you better be able to hit the shots on the green close to the pin. In order to hit the ball close, I feel it is important to carry three wedges in your golf bag. Most golfers have a pitching wedge that comes with the set. This club has about a 47-49 degrees of loft.
You have a choice to make for the other two wedges. A gap wedge comes with about 50 to 53 degrees of loft and a lob wedge is about 60 to 64 degrees of loft. I would choose between these two clubs depending on how far you hit the ball.
A lob wedge will save you shots around the green and a gap wedge will help you with the in between yardages in the fairway. You should always carry a sand wedge that has 54-57 degrees of loft.
Some touring Professionals will carry four wedges in their bag. The next time you play a round of golf, count how many strokes you take from 100 yards in to the hole. I think you find this will total about 60 percent of your score. When you are trying to improve your score, it is important to lower the number of shots you take close to the green. I think having three wedges in your bag will help you accomplish a lower score.

Putting Tip
By Geoff Walsh
A special key to good consistent putting is finishing the putting stroke.
Most golfers do not finish and then they wonder why they are short of the hole.
You start the stroke.......you must finish and hold the finish.
Finishing means the putter head is a minimum 2 feet past the ball and this helps the momentum and the ball will roll end over end and will reach the hole.
