Youth Excellence in Sports Athlete of the Year: David Oraee :: 01/24/2010 No matter what happens from here on out in the life of David Oraee, he'll always have the summer of 2009. And he'll probably always have a special place in his heart for Aspen. It was then and there that the Greeley West High School student etched his name in the American Junior Golf Association record book, accomplishing something that notable AJGA alumni Jim Furyk, Stewart Cink, Phil Mickelson, Davis Love III and a certain Tiger never could. ...read more Wiebe in PGA Tour Event :: 12/05/2009 CJGA Alumni and Aurora resident Gunner Wiebe made a 7-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole at Torrey Pines South on Saturday to beat his college coach in a playoff and earn a spot in next month’s San Diego PGA Tour stop. ...read more CGA/CWGA Celebrate Unique Year :: 11/12/2009 This year turned out to be a perfect storm of sorts in Colorado’s amateur golf ranks.

A great way to learn to shoot better scores is to play a game I learned as a kid called Hoot-N-Scoot. Take one ball, one wedge and a putter and find a short game area that is not crowded (most of them aren’t crowded because everyone else is on the range beating balls!). Toss the ball to a spot off the green and use your wedge to hit your shot towards the hole. Take your putter and putt the ball out. Go through your routine for each shot and see how many times you can get up and down in two. Try a different shot from a different location each time. Be creative…throw your ball behind a tree or into a buried lie in a bunker, or play it from deep grass, a bare lie or a severe side slope. Keep score and play with a friend. It’s a great way to have fun while you learn how to score! |
