Irish Waters Junior Summer League/Summer Skills Classes

Steve and I are excited for the summer and the possibilities it holds! We start out the summer with a week of skills classes. They are a fun and inexpensive way to get instruction, meet people and begin your golf journey for the summer. If you ever shoot in the 50's (or higher), the skills classes will help. As we develop golfers, we have found that most younger players need more course time - and some guidance along the way. We have had the honor of working with some of the finest young people in the Fox Valley through our Swing Solutions programming.

Week 3 2010 Winter Program

We filmed putting strokes this week, worked on Heartmath, and started breaking the swing down into smaller movements. Heartmath is a biofeedback program that teaches the player how to combat competitive anxiety and replace nerves with a calm sense of confidence. The fundamentals of power are very different than the fundamentals of shot making, which are totally different than those of the putting stroke. The players are learning that they have to master more than one set of fundamentals if they would like to score.

Week 1 2010 Winter Program

Lots of stuff happening this week! New grips for swinging and putting. The introduction of the Orange Whip for mastery of tempo and body motion. We dogged them on their posture (athletic, not slouchy, please). Each player was given something unique to their swing, a movement that we want to conquer during the 8 weeks we are working together. Some of the classes were introduced to "heartmath" and others were introduced to the "over the wall game." An advanced group of Derek Fiestadt, Willie Wittman, Tyler Prickette and Matt Winter played with their eyes closed - and they played very well. Note to newbies: don't just skip classes if you have a conflict. I can fill your spot with another child and find a make-up time for you. Skipping leaves a spot unused and you less educated!

Winter Program Confirmation

Starting January 31 we will begin our 9th Winter Program at Swing Solutions. This is a program about learning, self-discipline, goal setting and focus. We recognize that no two students will have the same skill set and the same goals; while some may be remarkably similar, each journey is unique. Over the years, we are proud to say that 15 of the 18 spots for Player of the Year (the boys have swept all 9) have come from the program. Each year, thirty spots are open for all-conference selection: better than 75 percent of those chosen have participated in the Winter Program as well. But perhaps most impressive statistic, has been the number of players who have grown to embrace and love golf as their sport of choice - those numbers are in the high 500's!
