Little Gifts for Big Love This Valentine's Day

Your Valentine's gift doesn't have to be expensive, it just has to be romantic and thoughtful. Here are some suggestions for little gifts you can get at CGC that will make your Valentine very happy this Saturday.

Feel free to steal the sentiments below when writing in your Valentine's card:

Flower headcovers - because your love will last longer than "regular" flowers
Gloves - for when you can't be there holding their hand
Pink Tees by Zero Friction - because your valentine props you up and makes you feel like you're floating on air (and who wants "friction" in their love life?)
Red push cart or a red or pink carry golf bag - because you want to take long walks for hours with your valentine
Pink spikes for her golf shoes - to show her that you'll never "slip" and don't want her to either
Red golf-brand caps for him - because guys like hats and won't give up their worn out one unless they're forced to wear a new one because it's a gift from you
Pink golf balls or shoes for her - cute and useful, can't go wrong
Special Occasion golf balls - fun designs or special messages, especially for anyone with initials "SD" or "SF" because we have
Apparel in red or pink - so they can think of you when wearing it. Plus, it's on sale 20-75% off this week! Selections for both men and women and we always provide a free gift box if requested.
Share a bucket of range balls - it's not quite two straws sharing a milkshake, but a lovely date night activity nonetheless

FEBRUARY RANGE CARD HAPPY HOURS

Stretch your golf practice dollars by using a range card instead of purchasing individual buckets. You get "extra value" every time you re-charge your card and you can save time by going straight to the ball machines.

Plus, save an additional 30% on every bucket when you use your range card during happy hours! There's nothing to remember, the machines just debit less money off your card for each bucket during happy hour. And, there's no limit to the number of buckets you can get during a happy hours session.

Don't have your card yet? It's easy to get one in the pro shop - from only $20! More info about range card rates and savings

DROP-IN CLASSES & TOPICS

Don't Be a
Downswing "Jerk"
A Quick Tip from Instructor Chuck Anderson

One essential element of the golf stroke, regardless of what path it may take, is a smooth, even acceleration from the top of the swing to, and through, the ball.

Anything which disturbs this smoothness and introduces a "jerk" into the swing is bound to upset the timing and destroy the accuracy of the blow.

All too often, it is this picture of gradual acceleration which eludes the average player.

Once reaching the top of the back swing, the average player can see only one thing that needs to be done: to hit as hard and as quickly as he can. He does not always realize that the appearance of ease in a great swing is simply the result of leisurely and well-timed hitting.

Rhythm and Timing are the two things which we all must have to play golf at the highest level of excellence.
