Meet Me At Olney Golf Park in Maryland

Greetings! I will be spending my first full weekend at Olney Golf Park in Olney, Maryland this weekend. My first order of business is to assist Jim Estes with his soldier clients in the Salute Military Golf Association (SMGA). Jim created this foundation to introduce the game to military vets, including our wounded warriors. I look forward to helping Jim teach this great game to the men and women who serve our country in the greatest capacity.

After Saturday morning's work with the veterans, I will be on hand to give lessons and tips while at the same time I will be working on some videos and such for my website. If you have the opportunity, come and check out the Olney Golf Park this weekend, and be sure to say hello!

Olney Golf Park in Maryland

This week I start offering my instruction at Olney Golf Park in Olney, Maryland. This is a full scale practice facility where you can work on every part of your golf game. Today, I spent three hours in the heat and humidity working on my full swing, wedge game, pitch shots and putting. I was drenched, otherwise, I would have spent more time, as I have not had this opportunity to work on my game in years.

Olney Golf Park has a terrific driving range complete with covered and heated stalls, higher quality mats, grass tee area, target greens, and pitch shot greens. We also have a two bay indoor teaching studio where we conduct video analysis and club fitting.

The practice putting green is massive and and rolls very smooth. You can work on every short game shot imaginable, except your bunker play. However, there is a separate wedge game area where you can work on this part of your game, as well as wedge shots up to 70-75 yards.

Finally, there is a fully stocked pro shop and a terrific staff. Jim Estes is the Director of Instruction, and there are several other instructors, including myself, that can help you with your game.

Olney Golf Park is located about 10-15 minutes from Rockville, and 30 to 45 minutes from DC. Come check us out!

What's Wrong With Tiger?

I just saw that Tiger Woods shot 75 in the third round of the Bridgestone tournament, after opening rounds of 74 and 72. Tiger has won this event at this golf course seven times. That means its basically like his home course. Yet, after three rounds, he stands 11 over par.

He indicated lately that he is not practicing. I think he could still shoot 68 on this course without practicing.

I have another theory. After the PGA Championship next week, his season is done. There is no way he gets his game turned around in time to compete, let alone win, at Whistling Straits, one of the most difficult golf courses in the country.

I think Tiger does not want to play the Ryder Cup. With this performance, why would Corey Pavin want him on the team? While he will still sit pretty high up the rankings, he likely will need a top 3 finish next week to play his way onto the team. I just don't think he wants to go. We'll certainly find out next week.

Moving to Maryland

I am very pleased to announce that I will be moving my instruction business to Olney Golf Park in Olney, Maryland, which is about six miles northeast of Rockville. Olney Golf Park is a full service practice facility with an excellent driving range, very large practice green and a separate practice green for the wedge game and bunker practice. I will be making this move in mid-August.

If you are an existing student here in PA, I will continue to have some limited availability as I will continue to travel between the two locations often. PA students may schedule appointments by email... scottcolegolf@aol.com

I wish you all tremendous success in pursuit of a better golf game!
