Golf Association of Philadelphia's Team Matches



 

by KYW's Ed Abrams

The GAP Team Matches come to a conclusion this weekend when the four finalists play off. 

Commonwealth National, Tavistock, Yardley, and Huntsville will compete for that coveted team title of the Golf Association of Philadelphia.  

The area's elite players have no doubt grooved their swing by early May. But if you're still struggling, Rock Manor's director of instruction Clark Gregory says a good key is balance. He says you can start with half-swings on the range, and then on the course...

"...holding that finish like the pros do on TV. Imagine somebody is taking your picture. After a while you'll be able to hold your finish a lot longer. And the golf ball will eventually start going straighter and farther -- what everybody wants!"

You can watch how the best in the world do that, in person, on Monday, June 2nd at the Ace Club, when KJ Choi, Aaron Baddely, and Steve Stricker join Jim Furyk at his Exelon Invitational. Three days later, the McDonald's LPGA Championship gets underway at Bulle Rock.

And don't forget to join me on TV for "Golfshots," presented by Buick, Monday nights at 7:30pm on Comcast Sportsnet.
