Each day , they arrive with a great attitude and an eagerness to share their knowledge on the course , equipment , and approaches to the game . But how much do we really know ? I

What instructions do you find yourself repeating the most during lessons ?

A : I find that most golfers have a tendency to flip their hands at impact . Most players will have the majority of their weight on their rear foot at impact and try to help the golf ball into the air . This is not only a mistake on the full swing , but especially on shorter shots . A : Do not get above the hole on our greens . If you have a downhill putt in the summer time , good luck stopping the ball ! Horseshoe Bend CC has its own unique set of play challenges . What is your best tip for playing HBCC ' s course ?

specific questions and find out a little more ( and grab some tips for you too !).

A : I was very fortunate to be introduced to golf at a very young age . My father gave me my first club when I was two years old , and I never stopped ! Everyone has an origin story . How did you get started with golf ? A : I would have to say a 230 yard shot over water is the most difficult shot to handle . Golf is definitely a game of skill ! What do you consider to be the most difficult shot to hit ?

Favorite Golf Course : Favorite Hole at HBCC :

Athens Country Club , Athens GA Hole # 11

KP : I started to play with my dad when I was two or three and never stopped playing .

KP : Long bunker shots are the hardest for me .

KP : Most common mistakes I see are usually at address , but the most common swing flaw is allowing the club head to get too far to the inside on the takeaway . This sets the path to the inside which will result in an over the top move to compensate for the early mistake .

KP : My tip for playing HBCC - Hit it in the fairway !

Name : Title :

Kyle Rice Second Assistant Golf Professional

Favorite Golf Course : Favorite Hole at HBCC :

Peachtree Golf Club ; Atlanta , GA Hole # 9 ( best view )

KR : I started playing golf when I was 20 . I was recovering from a broken leg and was looking to do something less physically demanding . I had an old set of clubs in the garage , and the rest is history !

KR : My most difficult shots are 15 - 25 yard bunker shots .

N O M A D I C However , you can also get into quite a bit of trouble around the greens , and especially in the rough . | KR : Don ’ t bite off more than you can chew . HBCC can be a very straight forward course , if you let it . 2 4 KR : I would say the most common flaw golfers have trouble with is alignment . A golfer can think they are aiming at one spot , but would actually be aiming at a completely different area . It is hard to work on a golf swing when you don ’ t have a good understanding of where you are aiming . Once you have a good understanding of alignment , it can make life a lot easier .
