The Pros' Corner
Our chapter has been lucky over the past several years with the Pros that have become our teachers and our friends. Many of our seasoned members know Bill Plotkin. Bill has been conducting clinics for our chapter, contributing to our newsletter and being there for us to ask questions.
Barry Goldstein, one of the Pros at Inverrary is quickly becoming one of our go-to-Pros for clinics and a friend of our chapter. You may recognize him when you see him because he's been on the Golf Channel and writes articles for various golf magazines. He has also contributed to our newsletter.
Both Pros bring an array of experiences that are unlike any others and both Pros are highly regarded in the golf community and with our chapter. Since both Pros are part of our EWGA family, both will contribute to our newsletter. They will alternate their columns so that we can benefit from their experiences and knowledge.

Tips from Bill Plotkin
Sink more putts with a killer crossover
Ladies, if you're struggling with consistency and accuracy on the greens, you should consider a cross-handed grip, which will help keep the club on line and promote a more level sweeping motion through impact.
How to grip the putter
Hold your putter with your right hand so that the end of the grip is just above your heel pad and your right thumb points straight down the handle. When you square the face to your line, add your left hand, hooking your pinkie finger over the forefinger of your right hand. (This is a "left-hand-overlap grip.") Your left thumb should extend straight down the handle. This keeps your hands close together and working in tandem.
Level your shoulders
The cross-handed grip not only takes your hands out of the stroke, it also levels your shoulders at address. You'd think setting your left hand below your right would tilt your shoulders toward the target, just as the traditional grip tilts them away. But here's the trick--play the ball slightly more forward in your stance and your shoulders will remain relatively level. From there, you can make a pure pendulum motion back and through, which leads to more consistent contact.
Keep the face square and on target
The direction your putts take is dictated by your clubhead's path and angle at impact. The cross-handed grip can improve your stroke in both areas. By keeping your right hand stiff, you put your shoulders in control of the motion and that's the most reliable way to keep the clubface square and moving down the line. It's a much straighter, simpler stroke.
Keep your whole game simpler by contacting me, Bill Plotkin, PGA Professional Golf Instructor, 954-675-2015. Together we can analyze and correct those parts of your game that are giving you fits. Two convenient teaching locations: Woodmont Country Club, Tamarac, FL or Conte's Palm-Aire Golf Academy, Pompano Beach, FL. Feel free to call anytime for a 1 on 1 assessment.

What do I do If...
In a bunker, my ball is in old footprints, buried lie, interference from the edge of the bunker, etc...
If your ball is in a bad position, which is not explicitly dealt with by the rules, then there is nothing you can do about it. You have to play the ball as it lies unless you declare it unplayable with 1 penalty stroke.
