In talking with local golf professionals recently it was their unanimous decision that golf packages would be interesting to work with and could provide an increase in revenue to Sullivan County golf courses.
We have always believed that the way to optimize your golfing experience is to try the many interesting golf packages offered.
Today, there are lots of ways that can provide the best packages..
If you are a golfer it is important to have the best package.
When buying into a golf package you can be assured that the package will help you get rid of too much spending.
In many states there are lots of services that can provide amazing deals and can provide all the essential things that you as a golfer needs.
Eliminating problems make the game of golf much more fun to play.
Remember to take advantage of the best deals pertaining to golf vacations.
In choosing a golf package it is recommended that with any golf package you must also receive the best service.
One of the best ways to get service is using online websites that can provide what the golfer is looking for.
Stay and play golf packages have become the most popular way to go and with most of these the packages offer room for two, 18 holes of golf with cart and many provide your morning breakfast.
We have often talked about golf in Sullivan County and the fact that there is a lack of golf packages.
Sullivan County golfers can learn a lot from popular South Carolina golf packages where golfers get to choose the golf courses they want to play and for one price, some as low as $72 a day, you get 18-holes of golf with a cart, double occupancy in a motel room and breakfast and we even know of one package that throws in the evening supper meal.
We previously several years ago talked to two golf industry experts during a South Carolina golf package trip.
Tommy Wallace is the Pro and owner of The Players Course at Wyboo near Manning, SC and Wallace noted very strongly that "Golf Packages are very important to the economy of his golf course during the months of February through May and September through November and some 65 percent of my total income comes from golf packages."
Southern Greens of South Carolina labels their package "Golf's Super Bargain." "When it comes to thinking golf in South Carolina you hear a lot about Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head, but in the eastern part of the state you find the best bang for your buck with economical golf packages in one of the most beautiful and unhurried areas of our country.
Southern hospitality is also a big draw for Northeast golfers who get to play spring golf in the Hartsville, South Carolina area which offers golf packages on 12 different golf courses.
We can attest as to the quality and honesty of packages in South Carolina and would hope to see a program like this set up in Sullivan County.

Ed's Outlook
Was in Albany several weeks ago and stopped by to view a golf camp put on by Todd Graves where he staged a demonstration about Moe Norman, the inventor of the Single Plane Golf Swing.
Many indicate that Moe's golf swing was called weird, unorthodox and different but that his genius for striking a golf ball can never be denied.
Todd talked about how he teaches an effortless and repeatable golf swing and that the conventional address position "has you holding the club with your arms below the shoulders," and "automatically this position creates a dual plane. "
Norman's skills as a ball striker are legendary....Sam Snead described Norman as the greatest striker of the ball.
The Norman swing included rigid arms extended from his body, a very wide stance and minimal knee bend, a shorter than usual back-swing and extended follow through with minimal hand action which produced amazingly accurate ball placement.
We don't make any endorsement of any golf equipment or teaching methods but if you desire to look further into this Single Plane golf swing style of golf you can simply go online at GravesGolfAcademy.com
Golf Tip
By Robert Menges
Scoring is all abut getting the ball in 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 50-degree wedge for this drill and then experiment with your other wedges.
The key here is to develop your touch for the different distances.

Putting Tip
By Glenn Sonnenschein
We have watched top contenders in the World Putting Championship and I have always known that if golfers want to score well....they must learn to putt well.
An area that is so important in scoring well is the speed of the putt.
You "feel" the speed with your eyes, mind and hands.
Imperative that you look at the distance between the ball and the hole six to nine times before you putt during the pre-putt routine.
It's a triangle. Your eyes see the distance....a signal is sent to your mind....your mind sends a signal to the muscles in your right fingers (left fingers for lefty's) for the amount of acceleration needed.
Then you pull the trigger. Get the ball nearest the hole....no-stress two putt........three putting is not.
Two putting is hot.....three putting is not.
