No male golfer has ever finished under par during a USGA championship at Salem Country Club. Bruce Fleisher, the 2001 Senior Open champion, shot a 2-under 68 in the final round to finish at even par. Dale Morey, who captured the 1977 Senior Men’s Amateur at the Donald Ross-designed gem 4 and 3 over Lewis Oehmig, was medalist at 143, 3-over par.
Bob Green, Head Pro., Tedesco CCMost of the poor mechanics I see during the swing are caused by problems that exist before the club begins to move.
Poor fundamentals in the address position make it very difficult to attain fundamentally sound positions throughout the swing, resulting in poor shots.
Golf is a game of skill and experience. The more we play and practice, the better we become. This is especially true around the green. Having the correct approach when you find your ball on the fringe or in the greenside rough is critical to success.
