Student of the Month

This is such a tough question to answer, but here is a good guideline. As we all know, the short game is most important area of any players game. I think 50% of all practice hours need to be spent from 60 yards and in, including putting. This time is best spent working on the drills I have (or other Academy Coaches) given to my student to work on. Too many times players walk up to a putting green and throw down three balls and just start putting. That drives me crazy...h

Despite a windy day at Hilaman Golf Course, Bryce Johnson won the Tallahassee City Championship with 1-under par 71. Bryce became only the second person to win both the Big Bend Championship and Tallahassee City Championship in the same year. His outstanding play helped his school, Chiles, to be the city champion for the sixth straight year after beating Maclay by eight strokes. The secret to his success? His short game. Way to represent, Bryce! #HilamanGolfCourse #1stPla
