6 FRONT RANGE GOLF

After Charlie Soule was cut from his high schooland college golf teams, he returned in followingyears only to become the teams’ top player.(Courtesy University of Denver Clarion)

Tour De ForceLongmont native takes his

game to the next levelBy Nathalie Winch

Charlie Soule is a grounded golfer. He’snot looking toward super-stardom orclaiming to be the next Tiger Woods.

But one thing is certain, besides hishumility, Soule possesses an unmatchedresiliency. His resolve has allowed him thetitle that few mortals can bestow uponthemselves, the distinguished title ofprofessional golfer.

It’s hard to imagine someone who was cutfrom the golf team both his freshman year inhigh school and his freshman year of collegecould ever turn pro, but that’s exactly whatSoule has done.

He started playing golf quite casually. Infact, he only started playing golf because hemissed baseball sign-ups shortly after hisfamily moved from Houston to Longmont.

Since the Soules were new in town, andCharlie had not much else to do, he took hismother’s golf clubs and hit the Twin PeaksGolf Course.

After playing around by himself, he hadthe courage to try out for the golf team hisfreshman year in high school. But he hadn’thoned his skills enough to make it onto theteam. This didn’t discourage him.

He continued to work on his gamethroughout the next year. And after a lot ofpractice and some lessons from Keith Mar-tin, the pro at Sunset Golf Club at the time,he made the team his sophomore year, a featthat carried him through high school.

“There was a great junior program atSunset with Keith Martin when I wasgrowing up,” Soule says. “We had a bunch ofkids from that program that have gone on toplay golf through college.”

It would turn out that his golf career incollege would look much the same as it didin high school.

When Soule tried to walk on to the collegeteam as a freshman at the University of

Denver he was turned away. But that was notthe last DU’s coach, Eric Hoos, would see ofthe Longmont golfer.

Soule was far from discouraged by beingcut from the team. “I generally am prettystubborn, and if somebody tells me ‘no’ itkind of makes me want something thatmuch more,” he says.

The tryout his sophomore year resultedwith a place on the golf team.

Soule attributes his drive to succeed to hisstubborn nature and the values his parentstaught him.

“It’s just been something that’s beeninstilled in me through my folks. If you workhard, then you’ll see some success. And ifyou’re not going to work hard, there’s noneed to do it at all.”

Soule lived by those words throughout his

FRONT RANGE GOLF 7

college golf career. Working with Hoos,Soule became a vital member of the Pioneersgolf team. “I went from being the third orfourth guy on the team to being the No. 1guy and being named All-Conference.”

Soule not only received All SouthwestRegion honors, but he was also named AllSunbelt Conference and received nationalrecognition during the rest of his remainingthree years as a Pioneers golfer.

“It was great, I enjoyed it,” Soule says.“But even when I won something or got anaward, I never really sat around and enjoyedit. I was always like, ‘OK, what’s next?’”

What was next for Soule was enoughhard-earned success to acquire sponsors andtally up enough earnings on the mini-tourcircuit to become a professional golfer.

It might have been luck according toSoule, but it was his mental fortitude thatacquired him one of his sponsors.

“T h e re ’s a mental aspect of the gamethat I’ve always excelled at,” Soule says.“One of the sponsors, a gentleman with tiesto DU, enjoyed my outlook mentally andwanted to help.”

This mental strength also got him in tothree different nationwide tournaments sincegraduating from DU three years ago. Hecompeted among 200 golfers for 14 spots inorder to qualify for national tournaments inKansas City, Kansas, Oregon and Omaha,Neb.

“I think we’ve all choked at one point oranother, but I don’t get shaken that easily. It’skind of what keeps allowing me to playgolf,” he says. “Good things don’t get me toohigh and bad things don’t get me too low.”

His talent, sponsors and passion for golfhas allowed him to make the sport his full-time job for the past three years. He hascalled Arizona his home since January of thisyear while he competes in tournamentsthroughout the Southwest.

“I’d like to win on the mini-tour circuitand be able to work my way up and play fulltime and on the nationwide or PGA tour,”Soule says.

Until he makes a nationwide name forhimself, Soule will continue to chip away athis goals with a level head and undyingmotivation.

Junior golfprograms a greatway to learn golfBy Summer Stair

Learning and playing the game of golf canseem daunting. From the fundamentals tothe mental strategies involved to the eti-quette used on the course, a person can bequick to learn that golf is more than just agame. Because of the different facets of thegame, starting at a young age can be benefi-cial. A great way for kids to be introducedand learn about golf is through junior golfp ro g r a m s .

“Golf is parallel to life in so many waysand the discipline you have to acquire tobecome good requires so much mentaldiscipline and patience,” says Keith Martin,PGA Class A-1 Head Professional at TwinPeaks Golf Course in Longmont.

Most junior golf programs begin at the ageof 5 and can range from two-day summercamps to individual lessons. Kids can learnthe basics from PGA professionals and growfrom there.

Learning golf has many lifelong benefits.Tray Shehee, the 2008 Colorado PGA Junior

Golf Leader and PGA Teaching Professionalat Ute Creek Golf Course in Longmont,says golf has so much to offer kids asidefrom the physical activity. “It teaches kidslife skills, such as honesty, integrity, leader-ship, dedication and perseverance,” he says.“The kids really get a lot out of it, and it canlead to other things like college scholarshipsor eventually a career as a pro.”

Martin agrees. “You can see a lot on thegolf course,” he says. “Because you have tobe accurate, it promotes honesty which issomething we can never have too much of.”

If kids or parents are interested in gettinginvolved, both Martin and Shehee say tomake sure they are learning the game from aPGA professional. “Good fundamentals arei m p o rt a n t , ” Martin says. “If you let theprofessionals do their job, you will have a lotof kids who love golf.”

While golf may seem like an expensivesport to start, it’s not. Shehee says kids don’teven need their own golf clubs for camp.“They just need to come with a smile ontheir face, tennis shoes and be ready to rock‘n’ ro l l , ” he says.

Once a kid gets more serious about thesport, they can often purchase used clubs ata discounted price and kids can practice forfree at golf courses, too.

“Just give kids the opportunity,” M a rt i nsays. “Once they’re at the golf coursepracticing and just being around it, they’llfall in love with it.”

Region boasts variety of top coursesAmong the EliteBy Nathalie Winch

There can often be nothing more stunningto a golfer than a well-kept course. A golfcourse’s conditions are scrutinized aroundthe world so certain courses are lauded forthings such as playability, design variety,aesthetics, conditions, ambience andresistance to scoring.

Local golfers are lucky enough to enjoyseveral award-winning courses throughoutthe Front Range. Three public courses heldin particularly high esteem are Fossil TraceGolf Club in Golden and The Dunes and TheKnolls at Riverdale Golf Club in Brighton.

When Fossil Trace was built in 2003, itwas named one of the Top 10 New CoursesYou Can Play by Golf Magazine. Since then,the course has been recognized by a varietyof people from all four corners of thecountr y.

“We ’ve been very, very blessed,” saysFossil Trace’s PGA Head Golf ProfessionalJim Hajek.

ESPN named Fossil Trace the No. 1 golfcourse in Denver in 2007. The course hasconsistently achieved a number of otherhonors throughout the years by ColoradoAvid Golfer, Westword Magazine, State

Golfweek, Golf Digest, Golf Inc. Magazineand PGA Colorado Professional GolfersAssociation.

Besides being kept in perfect conditions,Hajek says the course’s No. 1 trait is itsimmeasurable character. “People say, ‘Man,that was just a good time.’ And that’s whatgolf is supposed to be – fun.”

The name Fossil Trace comes from themore than 60-million-year-old trace fossilsthat can be found at the 12th hole. Inaddition, three pieces of ancient clay-minemachinery embedded within the groundwere left intact at the 11th and 15th holes tofurther adorn the course and honor its richhistor y.

A giant triceratops skull (it’s teethmeasure about 6 inches long), called “MissTerri Triceratops,” is one of the several tracefossils excavated during construction and iscurrently on exhibit along with other fossilsin the clubhouse.

Riverdale Golf Club can boast two ofBrighton’s top golf courses, The Dunes andThe Knolls. The Dunes, being the morefamous of the two, was designed by theacclaimed Pete and Parry Dye as a Scottish-style links course along the South Platte

River. It has been honored by Golf Digest,Avid Golfer and has been chosen as the sitefor many tournaments throughout the years.

Golf magazine named The Dunes as oneof America’s most affordable courses, andColorado Golfer awarded it the No. 1 publiccourse in the state. “People come fromacross the country to play it,” says RiverdaleGolf Course PGA Head Professional JeffMeeker of one of the state’s most famousdestination courses.

The Knolls was constructed to be in directopposition from The Dunes in both playabil-ity and affordability. It is a park-style courseknown for its great dollar value and goodcourse management, according to Riverdale’sWeb site, w w w. r i v e rd a l e g o l f . c o m . And al-though it has been called “the forgottencourse” at Riverdale, it is still respected forhaving great hazards and beautiful greens.

Both Riverdale and Fossil Trace, althoughhonored for their courses’ benefits, can alsoboast beautiful views from their clubhouses’

re s t a u r a n t s .“Even if you don’t play golf, we all eat,”

Hajek says. “And there’s no better place inDenver to have a meal than on our deck.The views are absolutely stunning, and youcan get to it from every major artery in theDenver area.”

Guy Mertz gears upfor a big year

By Summer Stair

For Longmont resident and avid golferGuy Mertz, 2010 could be a big year. This isthe year Mertz has targeted for his first U.S.PGA Senior Tour tryout in the fall.

“I took 18 years off competitive play,”Mertz says. “Hopefully, I can now win as a

s e n i o r. ”Mertz has been competing in the Col-

orado State Amateur Golf Associationthe last couple of years and has made hisname known around the circuit. In fact,last year he was high in the rankings,

but ended up losing in the state finals.Mertz is no stranger to golf though. It

was in Rochester, Minn., at the age of 8,when he first started playing golf.

M e rt z ’s father, an avid golfer him-self, taught him.

From the beginning, Mertzloved golf. He always soughtout challenges and workedon making his game better.

For Mertz the best partabout golf is improving.“I play golf to get betterevery day,” he says. “Ienjoy the challenge ofgetting better.”

Mertz played on hislocal high school teamand got a partial scholar-ship when he headed off

to college. By that time itwas the late 1980s andMertz was enjoying the

competition. In 1988, hewon the state golf champi-

onship. And in 1990, heplayed in the U.S. PGA Ama-teur Association.

Even though Mertz wasplaying and improving hisgolf game, there came a

Paul Litman

FRONT RANGE GOLF 15

point when he had to make a decision abouthis career. Mertz chose a career in dentistryover turning golf into a full-time job andeventually opened Mertz Family Dentistry inLongmont. “School was always my No. 1goal. It is tough to make it as aprofessional and I knew I wanted a family.”

In 2003, Mertz tested his competitiveskills when he went to Portugal to see if hecould qualify for the annual European Tour.After the experience, Mertz says he realizedhe could be good enough to compete, butthat he needed to make golf a full-time joband not just a hobby. That’s when he decidedhe would wait a couple more years until hiskids were grown.

Now, after an 18-year hiatus fromcompetitive golf, Mertz is hoping to transi-tion from the Colorado Amateur Golf Tourto something bigger. With his kids grownand starting lives of their own, Mertz wantsto get back to what he loves about golf: thechallenge of competition. “Everyday is dif-ferent and that’s the challenge of the game,”he says. “To be a good player you have to beable to make adjustments on the course and

know your course. You do this by competingand getting better.”

M e rt z ’s long-time friend and fellow golferTodd O’Donnell, a CPA at O’Donnell, Fowlerand Plaster in Longmont, says Mertz hasalways known his priorities. “His family hasalways come first and golf is a close second,”O’Donnell says. “He’s got a burning passionfor the game and is competitive in a fun way.He is very sportsman like, but loves a goodchallenge.”

O’Donnell first met Mertz on the golfcourse and instantly liked him. “You canplay 18 holes of golf with someone andknow more about them than if you spent acouple of weeks with them,” he says.

While O’Donnell is impressed with whatMertz has done with his golf game, heknows that Mertz has a strong drive to becompetitive at the highest level that he can.“His sights are set at a higher level,”O’Donnell says.

But as far as Mertz goes, as long as he isplaying and improving he will be happy. “Iam going to play golf until I die,” he says.

Customers at Leonard’s Golfin Erie play a round of golfusing a virtual reality golfsimulator of Pebble BeachGolf Links in California.(Paul Litman)

Leonard Hermosillo, owner of Leonard’s Golf,talks about some of the equipment used to teachstudents the finer points of their golf swing. (PaulLitman)

Golf simulator offers lifelike playBy Summer Stair

Inside the building of Leonard’s Golf inErie I can feel the concentration, see theswing and hear the club hit the ball. Thenright before my eyes the ball is in the airsoaring across the greens displayed on thegiant screen in front of the player. Eventhough I’m inside a building, the PGA TourSimulator pulls me in as four women playthe rugged-terrain of Pebble Beach GolfLinks. Yes, the world-renowned PebbleBeach in California, but the difference isthese women are playing it in Colorado.

“We would never get to play thereother wise,” says Paula Sinn-Penfold, as shemotions toward the simulator. “So it makesit a lot of fun.”

The cost of travel and the green fees oncourses, such as Pebble Beach and St.Andrews in Scotland, are not a reality formany golfers. That is one reason whyLeonard Hermosillo, owner of Leonard’sGolf in Erie, wanted to provide the simulatorfor local golfers.

The PGA Tour Simulator is known for its

realistic play. From the time you hit the ballit measures the distance, clubhead speed,ball velocity and the smash factor or powertransfer ratio, which is how efficiently theball was hit. By measuring all of thesefactors, the simulator is giving the player themost lifelike play of the course. It even takesa good four hours to play 18 holes.

The indoor simulator offers year-roundplay to local golfers, which helps them keeptheir game top-notch.

Hermosillo and co-owner Becky Clarknot only enjoy watching people play thesimulator, they are also there to help golferswith instruction. “Within about fiveminutes we can show someone what theyare doing that is sabotaging their swing,”Hermosillo says.

L e o n a rd ’s uses the GASP technique –grip, alignment, stance and posture – tohelp golfers in perfecting their swing. BothClark and Hermosillo know that those fourthings are what help golfers square the facewhen hitting the ball. “There is vested timeinto a swing,” Hermosillo says. “You haveto put yourself into it.”

The rightequipmentcan shapeyour golf

game

By Kristi Ritter

There are many types of golf equipment you can use that will improve yourgame. However, finding those pieces may be a little daunting with all thechoices available. One step inside a golf shop and you’ll be presented withoptions ranging from golf clubs to putting greens to shoes. In fact, every pieceof equipment you buy will help shape your game on the course.

But where do you start? Shawn Walsh, golf merchandise manager atColorado Ski & Golf, says golf experts at pro shops can recommendequipment pieces that will lend greatness to your game and help propel yourgame to professional status.

Here are some tips from Walsh on some of the essentials for the game.

ClubsWhen it comes to purchasing golf clubs, Walsh advises to “spend your

money on the part of the game that will make the biggest difference on yourgame.”

For beginners in the sport, the first thought may be to buy a starter set ofclubs. But in Walsh’s experience, buying the cheapest clubs isn’t the bestinvestment. “Purchase something that you can grow with,” he says.

While most golfers will purchase clubs they can use for a few years, thereare some golfers who want the latest and greatest clubs to hit the market,

sending them to stores annually to snatch up that year’sgoodies.

However, choosing golf clubs is an extremely indi-vidual task, one best determined between the golfer

and a professional club fitter. It will also help for agolfer to know his or her personal style, givingthe club fitter the information they need to finda set of clubs that will best fit their golfing styleand swing.

Once a set of clubs is chosen, be sure to selecta golf bag that will house the new clubs, along

with all the other gear for the game.

FRONT RANGE GOLF 21

Golf BallsGolf balls are not created equal,

and in order to sink them peoplewill need to match their swingand level of play with the type ofgolf balls they use.

Walsh described three commongolf ball types. The first are the value golfballs, which are ideal for beginners in thegame not only for their cheap price, but alsobecause they are made to provide great dis-tance on the course. Quite often beginnershave a slower swing as they’re developingtheir game, so the rubber core in these valueballs will help transfer the energy from theswing to the ball.

These golf balls will also sound almostmetallic-like because they are made of amore durable material. And at only $8 to $10a dozen, these golf balls are easy on thewallet.

From the value balls, golfers will move upto a mid-level golf ball that runs around $30a dozen. “The majority of golfers will benefitfrom these balls because they won’t spin asmuch, but they are still good on distance,”Walsh says.

Finally, premium golf balls run $40 to$50 a dozen and are composed of a softermaterial that gives top amateurs andprofessionals better, higher spin and softerfeel on the ball rather than durability and thedistance from lower priced golf balls.

However, the feel of the ball isn’t referringto the touch of it, but instead the sound thegolf ball makes when hit with a club. “Thebiggest difference in golf balls is the feel ofthe ball versus the durability and distance,”he says.

Te e sThe hot craze in recent years is aerody-

namic golf tees, designed with minimal sur-face space for less resistance, and increasedflexibility and durability.

Aerodynamic tees are only one optionamong the vast selection of golf tees rangingfrom different shapes and sizes, ones that siton top of brushes and others with elaborateshapes to the head. And while tees stillperform the same function to tee off at thebeginning of each hole, golfers have theirpersonal preference for style and function.

The size of tees have also dramaticallychanged throughout the years, with the stan-dard length of 2 inches in the past. Today,the standard length is more around 23/4 inch-es, but Walsh says the biggest seller at Col-orado Ski & Golf is 31/4 inches. So why thelonger size overall in golf tees? Walsh saysit’s because the size of the driver has gottenlarger, thus making its stand for a longer tee.

Push Carts & GPSGolfers today are more concerned about

their backs and health, turning towardthree-wheeled carts they can push. Old stylecarts typically had only two small wheelsthat were pulled behind a person. The newthree-wheeled carts are pushing trends withbig wheels making it easy to push for a spinaround the course.

But next to comfort in pushing thoseprized golf clubs around the greens, Walshsays golfers are implementing CPS - GPS andLaser Range finders into their game to

determine the distance to the objective muche a s i e r.

“It’s the fastest growing part of the golfmarket,” he says, adding that the USGAmade certain models legal to use in tour-nament play within the past few years.

For the casual golfer there arenon-rules conforming models.These high-tech gadgetsmake determining anglesand distances easier onthe golfer, taking theguess work out ofdeciding what clubs to use.

ClothingMany golf courses have a

dress code, making it easier forgolfers to choose attire.But even with a dress code,selecting something comfort-able for nine, 18 or even 36holes of golf may require someshopping trips.

Walsh says many golfersturn toward technical andsynthetic fabrics that breatheand wick moisture away fromthe body. Quite often these fabrics are lightweight, hold their shape and are wrinklere s i s t a n t .

The style of clothing also depends onhow a person likes it to fit. Walsh says themajority of golfers still want a looser fit, butsome professionals desire tighter fit clothing.

ShoesSpecifically designed golf shoes are

necessary and will make a difference inperformance, especially as people improvetheir game.

Having a good pair of shoes has a lot to dowith the stability under a person’s feet,Walsh says. “Your swing will benefit fromhaving a solid pair of shoes.”

Golf shoes are designed to be responsiveto the golfer’s movements, helping todetermine the amount of energy reservedfor a good swing simply through the way

the person stands or puts pressure onthe shoes.

“Yo u ’re putting a lot ofmovement into yourswing, so having thatlateral stability in theshoe will help yourgame,” Walsh says.

Golf game success startswith building strength

By Kristi Ritter

Two years ago, Matt McMullen figured hecould use some fitness training to improvehis golf game. When he discovered Boulder’sRallySport offers golf fitness courses, hesigned up.

McMullen, a Boulder resident, suffersfrom a herniated disc in his back and hashad cortisone shots to help with the pain.However, he knew with a third shot he’d belooking at surgery, which wasn’t something

he wanted to go through.The classes addressed McMullen’s back

flexibility to gain more movement aroundhis spine. Class instructors also noticed hiships were tight, causing unnecessary strainon his lower back. Looking further into hishistory, he realized he was using his backmore than his abs. “In my first year I gainedcore strength and balance for my golf game,”he says. “I also dropped six strokes in myhandicap, from a 14 down to an eight.”

McMullen was so pleased with the resultsthat he went back for a second year, this timefocusing on gaining extra distance for hisgame.

Dillon Johnson, PTAG-CPT, TPI, directorof golf and customer service at RallySport,started the classes as a way for golfers totrain for their game, which can be extremelytaxing on a body.

Back pain is a common problem withgolfers, who often feel it half way throughand need to turn to pain medicine to make itthrough. However, Johnson says by buildingstrength and working out the muscles, mostpeople can play several rounds of golf in aday, all pain free.

After six years in the golf business,Johnson turned to the Titleist PerformanceInstitute, a leading source for golf fitness,for a foundation for his classes. The TPIcompiled information from more than10,000 golfers as to what type of strengthtraining, Pilates, yoga and other exercises

helped to address fitness needs and training for golfers. Johnson alsouses a function movement system called Kinesis (Greek for move-ment), which is a series of movement cables designed of constantlychanging routines that create unique energy addressing balance,flexibility and strength. By combining the best elements from thoseareas, he designed the classes to address overall golf and body fitnessresulting in a better golf game.

“It’s golf training, but it’s also life training,” he says. “And it’s aprogram that makes sense for golfers, and it isn’t intimidating.”

The training starts with an assessment protocol that looks at aperson’s body to evaluate different points that cause restrictionsthroughout the golf swing, resulting in swing faults, such as over thetop, early extension, reverse spine angle and casting. Johnson says hecan tell how a person’s swing will look just by looking at the physicalassessments.

Keeping those restrictions in mind, Johnson looks at exercises thatcan correct the swing faults without even picking up a golf club.

McMullen says the TPI regime is similar to what the professionalgolfers use for their training, which he feels has completely improvedhis game. “The classes have allowed me to be active again, and do thethings I love – run, play basketball and golf.”

In his second year of classes, McMullen has been focusing onpower and speed. With more speed behind the club and good timing, ittranslates into hitting the ball farther.”

There are two ways golfers can work on their game: on the courseand through fitness. Johnson says fitness is equally important to thegame of golf. “In order to do what your golf pro wants you to do, yourbody has to be able to do it.”

The golf fitness classes address three stages of training. First ismechanics, movement and endurance, where golfers develop the

foundation needed for the game. Secondis working on balance, strength andconsistency, and finally power, speed,timing and motor skills. “Golf is a game oftiming, but if there is not timing with themuscles, you can’t perfect your game,”Johnson says.

Boulder resident Michael Greenwoodenrolled in the classes to help eliminate backpain. Not only did he do that, but he’s also inoverall better shape, he lost weight andgained strength. “I have better control of myswing now,” he says. “Now, I’m looking tobring my handicap down.”

The classes run in six-week sessionsduring the off season, from the first week inNovember through late-April. At the end ofeach of the three sessions, Johnson says theycross train and gather swing data for partici-pants at Leonard’s Golf in Erie. Through asystematic video analysis, people can look attheir club head speed, efficiency/“smashfac-tor” and swing to see how their game hasimproved and what restrictions are remain-ing that need to be addressed.

By the end of the three sessions, classparticipants are ready to hit the course andput their training into action. However,Johnson cautions that the fitness trainingshouldn’t end there. RallySport offers a GolfConditioning Summer Maintenance Pro-gram that keeps the body fit throughout theseason and on top of the game.

McMullen didn’t enroll in last summer’sprogram, but by the end of the season hisbody didn’t feel as strong. This summer he’llenlist in the summer program to keep hisbody in the game.

Following EtiquetteMaintaining the pace of play is vital to the gameBy Kimberly Crater

Golf is a unique and chivalrous sportwhere, for the most part, players areresponsible for themselves. While thereare rules and a code of ethics, it is up tothe individual players to be honest andaccountable. It is important for golfers touse proper etiquette to ensure a fun game foreveryone on the course.

Pace of PlayOne of the most important and violated

rules of golf etiquette is maintaining the paceof play, or how long it takes to play a game,says Steve Miller, the pro at HaystackMountain Golf Course in Niwot. On averageit should take two hours or less to play nineholes and four or less to play the full 18.Here are a few tricks to help stay on paceespecially for beginners.

• Cut down the pre-shot routine. Once a

player gets better, a pre-shot routine can behelpful, but for beginners it is better to hitthe ball. “Don’t overthink it, just hit it andgo chase it,” says Miller, who has a master’sdegree in transitional counseling psychologyfrom Naropa University in Boulder.

• Set a shot limit. It is OK to set a numberof strokes to take per hole, and if you can’tmake it don’t worry about picking up theball and moving on to the next hole. It istechnically against the rules of golf to pickup the ball, but other players will be moreappreciative if you are willing to moveahead. “The reality is in golf nobody careshow you play, they are too worried abouthow they play,” Miller says.

• Keep up with the group in front of you.If it is a busy day, keep the other players inmind. If the group behind you is playingfaster, let them play through. It should takebetween 13 and 15 minutes to finish eachhole.

• Cut down on wasted time. Pay attentionto where you place your bag and think a fewsteps ahead to reduce the time spent walkingback and forth across the course. Bringingyour own bag so you do not have to shareclubs can be a huge time saver. Many of the

little things add up to wasted time.

Take Care of the CourseAnother important rule of golf etiquette is

to maintain the golf course. “It’s every play-er’s responsibility to do as best as you can toimprove the course,” Miller says. “Ever yonebehind you has to play through the wake ofdestruction you may or may not leave.”

• Fix ball marks. Help repair the courseand leave it in excellent condition to make itmore enjoyable for other players.

• Repair dibits. If you make a dibit, putthe grass back in the ground as best you can.“If people knew how much went into takingcare of the course, they would naturallywant to help out,” Miller says.

• Be careful on the greens. The short grasson the greens makes them the most laborintensive part of the course and the easiest todestroy. Walk on the green as if it were“sacred ground,” Miller says.

• Fix more than you destroy. While you

fix a ball mark or dibit, if you see someoneelse left one, fix it as well. “Just because youdidn’t cause it, doesn’t mean you can’t fix it,”he says.

Be FriendlyGolf is often characterized by bitter

rivalries on the course. When the gameends though, the friendship should remainuntarnished. “Friendly interaction withpeople is really what golf is all about,” Millersays.

• Respect the space of other players.When someone else is playing, give themenough space and try not to move around.

• Be quiet. Golf often relies on individualreflection. Give the other players time tothink through the shot.

• Think about what you would want.Treat other players with the same respectthat you would want. If you are confusedabout how to act, Millers says ask yourself,“How would I want myself to behave?”

Clubs offer chance for socializingBy Kristi Ritter

Socializing is part of the game of golf, asmen and women take to the course withfriends to enjoy a round of golf and conver-sation. However, for new members who joina golf club or are looking for a pickup game,acclimating to the local course may be moredifficult if you don’t know anyone.

Many local courses have organized men’s,ladies and couples associations that cometogether for games and social activities.

Mike Ball, the head golf professional atPtarmigan Country Club in Fort Collins,says the men’s, ladies and couples associa-tions have been a part of their club for quitea few years. “We try to accommodate bothour women and men golfers in a moreorganized fashion,” he says. “Theassociations create a structure and basis forthe events for the season.”

The associations expedite new membersand guests to get into the club by playing inevents and meeting friends within a shorttime. They also allow for structured tourna-ments, as well as social gatherings through-out the year.

The men’s group organizes a signatureevent annually called the Ptarp Shoot.This four-day member/guest event attractsparticipating members and their guests fromall over the nation. “The guys work on their

games to gear up for this event, whichincludes 144 players,” he says. “It’s a hugesocial and competitive event. And it’s a bighonor to win this.”

In recent years, the ladies association hashad a big invitational. However, this yearthey’ll be starting their own member/guestevent, but on a smaller scale than theircounter parts. Ball says the ladies do a lot oftheir events on Wednesday, which is thedesignated ladies day at the club.

The associations have extensive calendarsthroughout the year made up of golf andsocial events, which keeps members busyand involved. “It’s a great combination ofcompetitive and social golf,” Ball says.

The social aspect of the men’s and ladiesclubs are key at Lake Arbor Golf Club inArvada. Bobby Quaratino, golf professionalat Lake Arbor, says the men’s and two ladiesclubs (one for a nine- and 18-hole club)easily have 350 to 400 members combined.“While there is a little competition in thegame, the clubs are more of a social aspectthan anything,” he says. “It’s an opportunityto get out and play with friends, get a littleexercise and have fun.”

The clubs at Lake Arbor have been aroundsince the early 1970s when the course wasbought out by the city of Arvada. They’vedefinitely grown in size throughout the

FRONT RANGE GOLF 31

years, mainly through word of mouth.Quaratino helps with the clubs organiza-

tion by helping to plan special eventsthroughout the year, from golf tournamentsto banquets. The ladies club has an annualCarousel Invitational that is a big event forthe entire state.

“It’s another option for them and anotheropportunity to play golf,” he says. “It alsogives them an opportunity to meet newpeople and socialize.”

Having the specific gender clubs also givessome people an opportunity to learn thegame at their own speed. Ball says he noticesthat specifically with the ladies, who onaverage have higher handicaps than men,tend to relax more when they have their ownday and time on the course. “They can learnthe game on their own terms and play withthe players of their own ability,” he says.

But then again, there are also some menwho are new to the game and may feelintimated to play with more advancedplayers. The associations also give them theopportunity to play and learn the game attheir own pace.

By Summer Stair

After 18 holes there’s nothing better thansitting down with friends, tallying up scorecards and having a drink or grabbing a biteto eat. That’s where golf course restaurantscome into play. They’re not only a great placeto dine, but often a great place to socialize.

Stone Ridge Grille at Mariana Butte GolfCourse in Loveland is one such place thatcaters to the likes of golfers, as well as thepublic.

Stone Ridge Grille opened its doors inMay 2009, and has continued in the off sea-son finding support from surroundingn e i g h b o rh o o d s .

Surrounded by the Thompson Valley andThompson River, the views offered by therestaurant are spectacular. When the weatheris warm and the patios are open, diners canchoose to sit outside with views of Thomp-son Valley on one side and the ColoradoFront Range with Longs Peak and MountMeeker taking center stage on the other. Andif they’re lucky, Pikes Peak can be seen fromthe restaurant windows on a clear day, saysco-owner Dan Timm, who owns the restau-rant with Scott Kintz.

The restaurant serves breakfast burritosduring golf season with lunch and dinneryear-round. But what makes the restaurantunique is a menu centered around ingredi-ents that can be found in Colorado – fondlyreferred to as Colorado Casual by Timm.

Unique and popular entrees served at therestaurant include the Pepper-encrusted ElkTenderloin, Bacon Wrapped Buffalo Sirloinand the Stuffed Jumbo Prawn served onFettuccini with roasted red pepper creamsauce. The buffalo burgers and Coloradosausage remain popular, as well as theRocky Mountain Oysters, which are servedas an appetizer, sandwich and entree.

Side dishes include some type of potato,and cherries find a home in dishes andd e s s e rt s .

“We had to balance what we wanted tobe,” Timm says. “It’s a place to relax, take astep down and celebrate life.”

The restaurant bar also caters to Coloradoand its well-known history of producinggreat brews. Patrons will not find justanything on draft, but only Colorado beers,says Timm. “We figured our beer culture inColorado is great. Why not accentuate it?”

The restaurant has also taken Colorado’seco-friendly mindset a step further byrecycling and composting, rather thanthrowing away leftover food.

Aside from the Colorado-focused diningand spectacular views, the staff is well-known for its laid-back, friendly attitudemaking Stone Ridge Grille a place to unwindafter a round of golf or a great place to dinewith family and friends.

Growing up in Baxter Springs, Kansas, asmall town in the southeast area of the state,Hale Irwin started learning the game on anine-hole sand green public golf course. Hisdad also enjoyed the game for recreation andgave his son coaching tips on the techniqueand etiquette of the game.

By the time he was 14 years old, Irwin hadalready broken a score of 70 on the course.But his future was changing, as the familyrelocated to Boulder. He was immediatelyushered into the sports culture in Boulder,including baseball, basketball, golf and foot-ball. In his spare time he found what is nowcalled Flatirons Golf Club, and scoured thegrounds for golf balls and other novelties.

As the quarterback of Boulder HighSchool football team, he led the team to astate title, earning him a scholarship to theUniversity of Colorado. His game of golfwasn’t far behind, with numerous statechampionships under his belt. “I liked theindividuality of the game,” Irwin says. “Yo udidn’t need other players. And there wassomething in the challenge of the game thatallowed me to overcome other challenges inlife.”

He entered the university playing twosports, an unusual and challenging task for

any young athlete. But with Irwin’s strongupbringing and the support of his family, hesucceeded. He was a four-year letterman ingolf and won the Big 8 Conference Champi-onship two years running and the 1967National Collegiate Athletic AssociationChampionship. As a football defensive back,he was a two-time All Big 8 selection. Irwinwas a three-time Academic All-Americanwho earned a spot as a member of Col-orado’s All-Century Football Team. His un-canny achievements in both sports allowedhim to be inducted in to the University ofColorado Athletic Hall of Fame in 2002.

While his football game got him into theuniversity, he knew he wasn’t going to be aprofessional. Golf on the other hand was hisdream. “I even remember writing a paper inthe eighth grade about wanting to grow upand be a professional golfer,” he says.

Following his dream, golf became hismain sport, although he admits that footballkind of helped his game since he played

individual positions that were out on theirown. “All the sports kind of meshed togetherto help my outlook on sports,” he says.

During his junior year at the university,Irwin met his wife-to-be, Sally. When hegraduated in January1968 with a degree inmarketing, he signedwith the ProfessionalGolf Association tour inApril and startedplaying in May. Sallyfinished her degree inphysical therapy, and inSeptember they weremarried.

The newlyweds set-tled in St. Louis, Mo.,where they had a daugh-ter, Becky, and a son,Steve, who followed inhis father’s footsteps inthe game of golf. Stevewas a second generationUniversity of Coloradostudent who played onthe golf team and wonnumerous champi-onships.

Irwin went on to playin a number of profes-sional tours. He won 20tournaments, includingthree US Opens. Hejoined the Championstour in 1995 andbecame the all-timeleader in wins, 45, andearnings.

Playing on manycourses throughout hiscareer, Irwin began tolook at the designs with a new light. “In thebeginning of my career I was playing allthese courses, and I was intrigued by thedesign,” he says. “I had all of these ideas formy own designs.”

In 1986, he founded Hale Irwin GolfDesigns that allowed him to design golfcourses nationwide. In the beginning, hisbrother-in-law helped in the business bymanaging some of the courses around the St.Louis area.

When Irwin and his wife moved toParadise Valley, Arizona, the business part-nership ended and Irwin continued with hisdesign work. Today, Steve, a Denver resident,is an intricate part of the business, helping to

spearhead new projects.Ir win’s ties to

Colorado continue,including being sup-portive of the CU sportsdepartment throughoutthe years. His family isanother main part of histies to the state – hisparents were Boulderresidents until theypassed away, his brotheris a Boulder residentand Steve lives inD e n v e r.

While there are manygolf courses along theFront Range that Irwinremembers fondly, threeDenver courses (CherryHills, Denver CountryClub and Columbine),as well as Flatirons GolfCourse in Boulder –where he searched forgolf balls as a child – a reones that rank high inhis memories.

Irwin continues toplay on the PGA tour,but there are somehighlights that have aspecial memory, includ-ing his first professionalwin on the tour inNovember 1971. “It wasa very special time for a

young kid starting out,” he saysThe three US Open wins were also

important to Irwin because they came inthree different eras in his career. And theopportunity to play on five Ryder Cup teamswas a great honor.

On the family side of Irwin’s life, therewas also success. “When Steve and I won thefather-son event in Florida in 2003, that wasa very special time for the both of us,” hesays.

“The best thing about golf is that you can start at any age ...Anyone can play this game at any time.”

Pete Larson, Front Range golf coach

Expert advice for beginnersBy Nathalie Winch

Whether a person is young or old, athleticor not, golf is a sport that anyone can learn.“The best thing about golf is that you canstart at any age,” says Pete Larson, a profes-sional golf instructor who coaches through-out the Front Range. “Even if you havephysical limitations, anyone can play thisgame at any time.”

But before someone jumps into the game,beginners are likely to benefit from someexpert advice. Larson’s No. 1 tip for begin-ners is to take lessons. A coach can teach abeginner the fundamentals of the long andshort game and can help with common golfetiquette.

Golfers are known to place a high premi-um on etiquette, Larson says. For example,every golfer – whether a beginner or expert –is expected to respect a particular pace of

play. Larson recommends beginners practiceon nine-hole and par-3 courses becausethese kinds of courses don’t place as muchpressure on pace of play. They are also lessexpensive.

Arrowhead Golf Club General Managerand Ladies Professional Golf AssociationPro Susie Helmerich recommends beginnerscall a golf course in advance to find out itsslowest times. “One of the worst things forbeginners is to feel intimidated or feelrushed,” she says. “The best atmosphere forbeginners is to play when the course isn’tbusy so they can take their time.”

Helmerich says beginners should not beafraid to ask questions. “For example, don’tbe afraid to ask where the driving range islocated, or how to get to the first hole,” shesays. “The staff is there to help, notintimidate.”

Beginners’ most common questions answeredArrowhead Golf Club General Manager and

Ladies Professional Golf Association Pro SusieHelmerich answers some of the most commonquestions posed by beginning golfers.How long does it take to play a round ofgolf?

One round of golf can take anywhere fromfour-and-a-half to five-and-a-half hours for 18holes. It’s typically faster to play on weekdayswhen courses are not as crowded.How much does it cost to play a round ofgolf?

It depends on the caliber of the golf course. Agame can range anywhere from $10 to $300dollars. There are even courses with green feesof $500.Which set of tees on the tee box should Iuse?

Beginners should use the forward tees, whichare typically referred to as the ladies’ tees, butare not gender specific. Forward tees make thecourse shorter and typically avoid hazards, suchas water, a rough (where the thicker grass liesaround the greens) or a ditch.How high should I tee the ball on the teeb ox ?

It depends on what club you’re using. If you’reusing a driver you want to tee it up higher thanan iron or a fairway.Where can I drive the golf cart on thecourse?

It depends on the course. Some are cart-pathonly. Some have a 90-degree rule, which meansyou can drive down the side of the course andthen drive over to the ball.

What is golf etiquette?Etiquette is the respect of certain rules and

traditions of the game. For example, how youact, dress and treat fellow golfers are allencompassed in the game’s etiquette.

Do golf courses have dress codes?Some do, some don’t. For example, some golf

courses request no denim and no cutoffT-shirts. Some require spikeless shoes. Certaincourses have a collared-shirt rule, or shortsmust be worn at a certain length. It depends onthe course.What’s the proper way to rake a sandbunker?

Enter a bunker from the low side to walk toyour ball. Then, after you hit your shot, rakeyour footprints back the way you came in.Rake the sand level, and leave no footprintbehind.

How do I fix a divot in the fairway?To fix a divot you need a proper divot-repair

tool. Stick the tool in the outside of the divotand push the divot toward the inside of thedivot. Then tap it with the bottom of a putter.How do I repair a ballmark on the green?

It depends on the type of grass, but typically,the best thing to do is fill the mark with sand.Sand usually has seed in it to help the grassgrow back.Are yardages listed to the front or centerof the greens?

Most yardages are listed to the middle of thegreen.

Tailored clubs can improve your gameBy Nathalie Winch

PGA professional golf club fitter BrianLindstrom, of Collindale Golf Academy inFort Collins, equates buying a set of clubswith choosing the right running shoe. “Yo uwant to have the right size shoe on beforeyou run a marathon, don’t you? It’s the samefor golf clubs.”

In essence, Lindstrom and most otherPGA professionals agree, golfers should haveclubs that are custom fit to their size andswing.

If golfers choose to play with clubs thatare directly off the rack, they mightcompensate their swing to the angle of theclubhead or the length of the shaft, forexample, which will cause the golfer to exertextra effort, Lindstrom says.

“My job is to take that wasted motion outand to make it more fun and allow thateffortless swing to show up,” he says.

As a professional club fitter, Lindstromspecializes in fitting golfers to the right sizeclubs. “Part of it is being able to explain thetechnology of fitting clubs, the other part isgetting golfers to experience it for them-selves,” Lindstrom says. “It’s part science,part art form.”

If golfers swing with the wrong size clubsfor a long enough time, bad habits coulddevelop, according to Lindstrom, who hasmore than 20 years of experience as a golfi n s t r u c t o r.

“Something that golf teachers understandis the relationship between the club and howit effects a golfer’s swing,” he says. “It reallytakes someone who has studied golf a greatdeal to know what’s going to help one playerand not another.”

The type of clubhead, its lie angle, thelength and flexibility of the shaft, and theclub’s grip size are all factors that Lindstrommeasures when customizing clubs.

Adjusting the different components of theclub to perfectly match a swing can ultimate-ly provide the golfer with the smoothestswing possible. “I really studied this for along time, and if you can start to see a moresimple swing with less compensation, you’re

going to see better rhythm, balance andre s u l t s , ” he says.

In order to measure what kind of clubsplayers need, Lindstrom watches clients hitballs on the practice range so he can see theball’s natural flight through the air. Hemeasures marks with tape that are placed onand below the clubhead to see where theballs are struck and where the clubhead isstriking the ground.

Meanwhile, Lindstrom uses sophisticatedtools that measure other components of theball’s flight. “We have a launch monitor thatshows us the speed of the ball, and howmuch it is spinning, so we can really tell ifthe club is producing the proper speed andlaunch angle and maximize the distance aplayer hits the ball,” he says.

Collindale Golf offers a variety of clubs forsale, all of which can be custom fit. A fittingis included in the price of the clubs. Orgolfers can have clubs fitted withoutpurchasing clubs for $50 for just drivers and$75 for a full club fitting.

Iwant to give them lots of options,” he says.“I want them to come away with, No. 1,something they like and, No. 2, somethingthat will help their golf game.”

If golfers enjoy their clubs to the utmost,and take the time to get them custom fit,their confidence should improve and theirpsyche will get an added boost.

According to Wilson Golf Sales &Marketing Territory Manager Derek Robin-son, having confidence in your clubs has anirreplaceable effect on any golfer’s game.“Golf is as much mental as it is physical,” hesays. “Your clubs should give you confidencein your ability to hit the ball.”

Ever ybody’s swing and body style isdifferent, Robinson adds. And since golfclubs are a major investment for mostgolfers, it’s important not to rush into a pur-chase. Taking the time to get fit and test outa set of clubs will allow you to swing moreefficiently, enjoy greater confidence and have

more fun while playing the game.For more about Collindale Golf Academy, visitw w w. c o l l i n d a l e g o l f a c a d e m y. c o m / .For a cyberfitting by Wilson Golf, visit www.wilson.com.
