Golf Tip of the Week: Applegate River Golf Club
Something to do.
Newswatch 12s cameron derby shows us a nice par-4 that is nice and easy for the family.
"well here we are at applegate river golf club standing on a beautiful hole-3, very driveable par 4.
You are looking out at the wilderness of southern oregon.
It is really beautiful.
A lot of new families coming in since the covid-19 pandemic started.
Here is your chance to get out here and see what the hype is."
"ever since the outbreak with people with a lack of other things to do with outdoor activities, our local golf courses have taken on a lot of new golfers which is fantastic.
It has been a few years since we have had this much increase in golf."
Chuck is shooting first, and like a pro, he sends this thing flying right over the hole, and onto the green.
He already has a nice look at that red flag.
It is my turn, and i get it up in the air, but a bit more right that i was hoping for.
Bad thing given this is a dog leg left.
"cameron missed his drive to the right a little bit.
It is not too bad.
He has it about 120 yards in.
He has one tree which really should not be a problem.
Sitting right between him and the pin.
But i think he has a pretty good open shot.
He should be able to make this green in two."
"it went that way.
It went that way!
Yep.
It went right.
But now we got a wedge in your hand though."
Chuck is being a showoff and putting for eagle.
He is a little short though, and he is going to tap in for birdie.
After two wedge shots and putt, i am in for bogie.
The important thing, you and i are both getting better this week.
