Making Golf Fun for Kids</h2>
<br />
Hi this Kris Moe, I'm the director of Fun and Player Development at Chuck Corica Golf Complex in Alameda, I've just returned from a US Kids certification program in Los Angeles and I'm fired up to share the fun new<br />

ways us pros will be teaching kids 13 and younger.<br />
<br />
I wish I would had this system available for my own two boys, they are now high schoolers, because I think they would have been more interested in golf.<br />
<br />
In a nutshell they have made golf learning more engaging for kids. There is more learning from games and intuitive ways to understand fairly complex concepts like the grip (hot dog in a bun) how to chip (eg swing the letter "Y"). Here's a video of how we teach some of the fundamentals, <a href="https://vimeo.com/36619747">https://vimeo.com/36619747</a><br />
<br />
They also have badges for each accomplishment that is pinned to their cool US kids golf hat.<br />
<br />
I still have a few spots available for the under 13 class beginning this Saturday from 2:00-3:00 PM (mostly 8 and 9 year olds are signed up). <a href="https://campscui.active.com/orgs/ChuckCoricaGolfComplex" target="_blank">You can register here.</a><br />

Here's more information on the program which I believe your kids will really have fun doing.<br />

The U.S. Kids Golf Learning Program is a proven method to introduce golf to young players. The program becomes more difficult as players advance through each of the three levels, and the Level 1, 2 and 3 booklets provide the framework for both coaches and parents.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.2em; margin-top: 0.6em; padding: 0px;">
The booklets provide instruction and examples of forms and skills, and each level has checkpoints in five core areas: <strong>Putting, Around the Green, Full Swing, Knowledge and Scoring</strong>. As an incentive to advance through all the levels, players earn an <a href="https://www.uskidsgolf.com/sites/uskidsgolf.com/files/PTpins_0.jpg" style="color: #027ac6; text-decoration: none;">achievement pin</a> each time they complete one of the checkpoints. In order to pass each level, players must play nine holes from at least 1,500 yards (the distance of Level 1 Tees on a <a href="http://www.uskidsgolf.com/play-and-learn/family-courses/" style="color: #027ac6; text-decoration: none;">Family Course</a>) and meet the scoring requirement.</div>

Three Ways to Make Golf Practice More Doable</h2>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you really want to reach your goals you'll have to practice. There are no little pills that I know of that will help you get around this reality in anything you want to improve at.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">It's easy for practice at golf may take a back seat to studies, work, family or what-have-you. Here's a few ways that I hope will make it easier to get out and practice at golf: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>Come up with something measurable</u></b> like how many four foot putts can you make in a row and practice until you can do it.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">In <a href="http://www.alamedagolf.com/kris-moe" target="_blank">Alameda</a> we use the Flightscope and I would have you ten balls with say your pitching wedge and we would get an average of your distance and your average distance from a target we picked. ideally we would do the combine for all of your clubs and that would take about an hour and a half (130 balls).</span></div>

plan to get better is a good golf coach. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I just attended a Golf Coaching seminar recently for our PGA section. A Mr. Henry Brunton was one of the presenters and he blew us away with some great information from his experiences and anecdotes. For instance the next Olympics in Brazil will include golf and how this is bringing more international attention to the sport and with it better training, science and coaching for athletes in golf.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mr. Brunton is thought leader in the golf coaching space and has shared his vast coaching experience and details it in this book, High Performance Golf which I highly recommend for anyone with a serious passion to improve.</div>
<br />
Mr. Brunton is a Top 100 PGA golf coach and has worked with most of top talent from Canada for the last ten years including Mike Weir, former Masters Champion.<br />
<br />
His presentation was essentially bringing all the best practices from other sports into golf and I'm thrilled to share some of these with you.<br />
<br />
Here's some important aspects to what a good coach will bring you:<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; text-indent: -0.25in;">Help you identify your goals</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; text-indent: -0.25in;">Give you a comprehensive physical screen</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; text-indent: -0.25in;">Teach strategy and tactics course and game management skills</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px; text-indent: -0.25in;">Work with you to monitor, measure and reset goals as necessary</span></li>

</ul>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Alameda's Chuck Corica Golf Course's got one of the best short game practice greens ever and now we're giving you the opportunity to check up on your skill level in our Short game Challenge!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">From 10 am to Noon this Saturday, December 6th anyone can come out and play the ten hole course we set up. And the best part is that we have a handout with all the averages of the various skill levels from top PGA Tour player to a 36 handicap. Depending on your score you'll see if you have work to do or if you should be working on other aspects of your game like driving.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Kris Moe our Player Development guru will be out there offering free short game tips to help you improve your score.</span><br />

treasure of a golf experience and it will challenge you at whatever ability level you're playing at.<br />
<br />
Each week we've started a program for golfers to set the course record for their age group and gender. So for a week if you shoot the "low score" we'll take your picture, get your name and post that along with your score and date for others in your age category to beat.<br />
<br />
Then each week we'll start all over again, giving everyone a change to get up on our "wall of fame".<br />

Pitch and putt may be over simplifying what this golf course offers. The holes aren't 30 or 40 yards they actually range from 85-155 yards and the greens are shaped so there are no flat spots for better drainage. Marc Logan the golf course's designer, who I call the "grass whisperer", since he is truely one of the world's leading experts in growing any grass but especially <i>bent grass</i>. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I may lose a few of you out there that aren't geeks about putting green surfaces, but I am, because any experienced golfer knows that bent grass greens are second to none for putting surfaces. Mr. Logan is going against conventional wisdom that he can grow and then <i>maintain</i> bent grass in Northern California. Alameda's golf courses are going to prove to everyone that he can with his systems.</div>

This will give us a direction and distance profile (notice the oval in the image below, this golfer's pattern is biased to the right of the target line).</span><br /><br /></div>

<strong>Step 2:</strong> At first most of these numbers won't mean much to you. I'll coach you decipher them so you can make the appropriate adjustments to create your desired ball flight because there is a formula for any ball flight you wish. Let's say for instance that you want a high draw with your driver, no problem, I'd have you swing 8 degrees right with your club path and have your club face four degrees left of that path. And for the desired heighth you'd hit it on the upswing two degrees.</div>
<br />
<div>
Funny part is, I don't care how you do your formula and nor does the radar system. Of course if you are stuck that's where I can nudge you in the right direction :)</div>

I'm fascinated to see how as a coach I can make this work with my students.<br />

Anyone is welcome to join me for a round this Thursday at Stevinson Ranch to test it out. I'm teeing off at noon and all you have to pay is the $50 green fee and that will include range balls. Just call or text to grab a spot or two.<br />
<br />
I'm planning on making trips down to Stevinson through the year. It is 90 miles from Alameda so it's a drive but it's truly a great golf course and has one of the top practice facilities in California! I plan having a few golf schools there through the year and they have lodging there if you want to make it an over-nighter.<br />

New radar technology is disrupting golf</h2>
With the constant advancement of technology in golf it's never been a better time to be a golfer. Improving your ball striking and optimizing your equipment has never been easier (yes easier).<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmAqTG7YI_Z5vw34y3LNYNPkKb8bO755ZCAauM7jF86GkUGyimlAHoeYL4wPzc5FuioUjrW2N3gVoPmv8SJwu0vw5xtw0Ft3kLQwrWaJC2ckKlds7uXrVhgyPp2smnAjTFDDJdzECnxeHC/s1600/club+fitting+cartoon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmAqTG7YI_Z5vw34y3LNYNPkKb8bO755ZCAauM7jF86GkUGyimlAHoeYL4wPzc5FuioUjrW2N3gVoPmv8SJwu0vw5xtw0Ft3kLQwrWaJC2ckKlds7uXrVhgyPp2smnAjTFDDJdzECnxeHC/s1600/club+fitting+cartoon.jpg" /></a>Why you may ask? You can thank the military for this since this new technology was originally designed by the military to track bullets and missiles and those systems have finally made it to golfers tracking their golf ball's flight and the specifics of the impact collision.<br />
<br />
As a golf pro, long time golf teacher and golfer myself I'm really excited to share these advancements with you to improve your game and equipment. In my own teaching I've de-prioritized the swing style of a golfer to focus on the impact numbers the radar gives us. And it's not just me, friends and colleagues, who were the "early adopters" and investors in the technology tell me the same thing, they teach less about swing style now and more about the bottom line, what's happening at impact. Nor more guessing and straight to the fix!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4IKPtFzRFKQWzbtjk30kYdJFTf0olvzmWUoZ5JDG_MeUWsDutiT7zcrONa4ON13Hfsnq-ATnLSMy0Gqn6YhsgGwFv4HVlSNIqRdXEiJH0aWbf5oq0Z9kU5Vx_E9WKyPx0EP48Zbn1OtGH/s1600/sketch+of+club+dynamics.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4IKPtFzRFKQWzbtjk30kYdJFTf0olvzmWUoZ5JDG_MeUWsDutiT7zcrONa4ON13Hfsnq-ATnLSMy0Gqn6YhsgGwFv4HVlSNIqRdXEiJH0aWbf5oq0Z9kU5Vx_E9WKyPx0EP48Zbn1OtGH/s1600/sketch+of+club+dynamics.jpg" /></a>The <a href="http://www.alamedagolf.com/" target="_blank">Alameda Golf Complex</a> is on the verge getting this technology delivered so you'll be able to see your measurements like launch angle, face direction and club path (over 20 data points). Even more you can cross that information with your actual ball flight onto our range rather than see it go into a net four yards in front of you. This is huge as any advanced player will tell you. Numbers can lie and don't necessarily create the perfect match for you since there so many other variables to consider for you to love your equipment (sound, flight, feel and trust).<br />
<br />
We'll be fitting and teaching with the <a href="http://www.foresightsports.com/" target="_blank">Foresight system</a> so you too can get optimized like a tour player and get the most out of your game and your equipment.<br />
<br />
Some fitting facts that directly benefit you that we in the industry didn't even know or had to guess at until the last year or two is the massive affect of missing the sweet spot by as little as 1/2 inch can cost you 7 yards in distance. And here's a few more fun facts about the <a href="http://www.golfwrx.com/107406/understanding-the-new-ball-flight-laws/" target="_blank">new ball flight laws</a>:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigeBkSAkhFxIyK1K8VtjKbitoXBcgYHcNJATeVtBg8yTPVIeHwAMZoy70BdrqC5IUh_ZJmZ56efYFbcymdz9Aa-siqCqUnVkjpxWLBN_lumqtof4zHuCROITHf57kmwMpsJNnbQdeCSpWl/s1600/foresight.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigeBkSAkhFxIyK1K8VtjKbitoXBcgYHcNJATeVtBg8yTPVIeHwAMZoy70BdrqC5IUh_ZJmZ56efYFbcymdz9Aa-siqCqUnVkjpxWLBN_lumqtof4zHuCROITHf57kmwMpsJNnbQdeCSpWl/s1600/foresight.jpg" height="112" width="320" /></a>
<li>If you strike down too steeply on your irons you actually lose energy with contact on the ball</li>
<li>By simply moving more weight toward the inside of the club (the heel) you will hit more draws or hooks and visa-versa. You'll see this adjustment now on the new Callaway driver for instance</li>
<li>There is a ideal match of launch angle and ball spin that is different for each golfer and can make immediate distance gains of 15 yards plus</li>
</ul>
<div>
This week we're just getting in all the new equipment for fitting and demos. We'll be carrying all the top brands in drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, irons and wedges. And we hope to have it all available by mid-March.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So plan a visit soon to our <a href="http://www.alamedagolf.com/" target="_blank">Chuck Corica Golf Complex</a> driving range to see the radar technology. It will blow your mind and get you excited for playing more golf this year.<br />

<br />
Inspiration is always a good thing. Recently I spent a few hours with an old friend from Alameda High School (1979, go Hornets), Kirk Kono and his father Gordie Kono. Time with them inspired me and I hope will you too.<br />
<br />
Quick background, Gordie is a very good golfer and even at 80 can shoot in the 70's. Kirk is a chip-off-the-old-block and even with a 12 hour work day with a big company in Los Angeles can roll out of bed and hit a three iron onto a green from 190 yards. I usually visit with the Kono family during the Christmas holiday. Last year during our visit, Gordie had told me he had to stop playing golf because of a pain complication in his neck and doctors couldn't give him a clear answer at the time if he could play pain free again. If you can picture a sad dog, that was him. Everything about him sort of drooped with sadness not really knowing if he could ever play again. Fast forwarding a year,he had a successful surgery, no pain and he's hitting balls again.<br />
<br />
So here we are on the range and I get to see him hitting the ball again. He was hitting nice little draws with his driver and I'm pumping him with compliments. But he didn't look really pleased. "Gordie, what's up, you didn't like that one? What's wrong with that?" I said. "They're only going 180 if I could only get another ten yards...". And that is what I'm going to share with you, who doesn't want ten more yards?<br />
<br />
First off that's the funny thing about golfers, even if he was hitting it 300 yards he probably would have said gosh if only could get another ten years. Really more importantly, and big picture of this article, he's back doing what he loves and wants to get better and now he's asking me as a coach, what I can do to get better? And that's the beauty of passion but it also ties in with readers who are looking for a better golf game for 2014!<br />
<br />
Now let's start with the time of year, it's winter and unless you live in Hawaii or Florida you're probably not thinking a lot about golf right now (unless you've been out of the game a year like Gordie). Most of us are in a hibernated golf state and that's fine this time of year. Still you don't want to completely regress and have to rebuild from the ground up in May. This will be about doing exercises in three phases so you ready to play well whenever you ready to get back at it.<br />
<br />
Word of caution, whether you're coming back from a long lay off or an injury take it slow coming back. Going full speed at drivers is explosive and getting to 100% is a process, so be patient. Case in point, when Tiger was rehabbing back from his surgically repaired knee he hit balls at 20 to 30% speed for months (that's great for timing practice by-the-way).<br />
<br />
Now to hit it further there is a formula for maxing out your distance and it is a combination of these factors:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Physics of Ball Flight</b>- Are you compressing the ball in the middle of the face with optimum club delivery into golf ball (approach angle and path)?. Analysed by ball flight and launch monitor this would also help determine if you have the right driver.</li>
<li><b>Kinetic Sequence</b>- Are you maxing out your kinetic sequence (timing of power transfer from hips to<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSnnV3uGJMzU0br383sAgfMoO-00S6l3QdfRRL9jLteFBjmye_xUg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSnnV3uGJMzU0br383sAgfMoO-00S6l3QdfRRL9jLteFBjmye_xUg" /></a></div>
shoulders to arms to club)? A $5 app called <a href="http://www.zerolinegolf.com/" target="_blank">Golf Mtrx</a> will let you know. The "step drill" shown in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftvRQ34Po7I" target="_blank">this drill</a> by Sean Foley is a great way to dial in the timing of your power sequence.</li>
<li><b>Fitness Level</b>- What's your horsepower? Can it be improved?</li>
</ol>
<br />
One of the great golf resources is the <a href="http://www.mytpi.com/exercises" target="_blank">Titleist Performance Institute's</a> library of videos and articles on fitness and bio-mechanics. It really has everything you need to know for golf fitness and bio-mechanics whether you are tour player or annual hacker. I'm a certified trainer for TPI and I'm still a huge fan of what is available (and it's FREE).<br />
<br />
TPI is overwhelming at first but hang in there and think you'll find it worth the time. The button "Advanced Filter/Search" will get you to where you want to be (eg <a href="http://www.mytpi.com/exercises#filter?area=fitness&page=1&category=strength&body=core" target="_blank">this search</a> was for core exercises). BTW- If you're a member of gym already and invest in a trainer. Aside from him prescribing a personalized regiment for you he will motivate you to stay on your program and help you manage the ramping up progression.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Phase 1- Off-season and assuming you are like most golfers, you are not playing much. This phase is about light work outs to keep up a modest base or foundation so moving to phase 2 isn't such a shock to your system. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Phase 2- Tampering into on-season. Increase work- out effort and hitting more balls.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Phase 3- In-season work outs and a full schedule of golf and golf events.</li>
</ul>
So where ever you I will give you a general strategy on to move forward. Let's start with Phase 1.<br />
<br />
I'm in this phase right now. I have played a couple times in the last two months and have been going to the gym maybe two days a week for 30 minute light workouts. My keys to maintain fitness this time of year is light cardio such as walking briskly or the like on a trend mill, trail or on a bike. Hey if you can do more, great but just getting your heartbeat up for some time is good. <br />
<br />
During the walk I'll usually doing some push-ups or <a href="http://www.mytpi.com/exercises#power_snatch_with_dumbbells" target="_blank">push-up planks</a> (for core), stretches and squats (for glutes). The trail that I hike is uphill so I get a cardio workout too.<br />
<br />
In phase 2 I'm simply building up frequency of work outs while also hitting range balls more often. In this phase you should you have good basic strength and flexibility and you could be doing more explosion drills like <a href="http://www.mytpi.com/exercises#box_jumps_-_90_degrees" target="_blank">box jumps</a> or jumping jacks.<br />
<br />
In this phase I may cross train by tossing footballs, a Frisbee and playing tennis. These sports will force me to start doing more explosive type actions to hit or throw the object.<br />
<br />
These days the new rage from top trainers is having their golfers walk a tightrope to develop strength and balance (try that).<br />
<br />
Phase 3 just continues the progression. You are able to do your workouts at a high level without being sore for a week after. I feel comfortable now swinging <i>all-out</i> at a driver and I feel energized walking and playing 18 holes.<br />
<br />
So back to Gordie, my advice for him to get ten more yards is to find a few exercises through the TPI site that address more power. In this link I created a search for "power" and for the the "core" part of the body, here was the result which has some helpful exercises, <a href="http://www.mytpi.com/exercises#filter?area=fitness&page=1&category=power&body=core">http://www.mytpi.com/exercises#filter?area=fitness&page=1&category=power&body=core</a><br />
<br />
So for some of you this may be too much work, no worries, just go out and play :)Kris Moehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07795152755589925165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8762933369627527395.post-80278204928334745472013-12-11T16:31:00.002-08:002013-12-11T16:31:40.532-08:00Gifts Ideas for Golfers at Chuck Corica Golf CourseJust an idea for the Holiday Season, how about a better golf game for someone you love or work with?<br />

<div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Growing golf has been a mission for Norma Arnerich of Alameda, California. I haven't had the pleasure to meet Norma Arnerich, yet, but I'm a big fan of what she has done to recruit, encourage and support young people into the sport of golf.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTXyH7J8eb5E4_EzyVf52PoyZe_2DOw10y6n2aXnBveKQCjs44L" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTXyH7J8eb5E4_EzyVf52PoyZe_2DOw10y6n2aXnBveKQCjs44L" width="176" /></a>Over the years she has tirelessly reached out to the community through being a baseball games, football games and what-have-you to let parents and kids know about the programs available at Chuck Corica Golf Complex. This last year she was awarded an <a href="http://www.contracostatimes.com/ci_23157838/alameda-norma-arnerich-honored-lifelong-support-alameda-golf">honorary membership</a> by the <a href="http://www.alamedacommuters.org/info.htm" target="_blank">Alameda Commuters Golf Committee</a><br />
<br />
How has she done? Well thousands of kids have been introduced to golf through her efforts. Another indicator has been the number of kids that have not only learned to play but who've also gone on to play high school level golf. Even more impressive the number of juniors who went a step further to the college and pro ranks like James Haan.<br />
<br />
Along with Norma there is another force with a mission to grow the game of golf and that is the PGA of America with their PGA Sport Academy. As a golf pro who didn't succeed in lighting the fire in his own two boys hearts for the game I am thrilled to share this new model of learning golf for youngsters because it is active, fun and excellent training to become a golfer or better at any sport.<br />
<br />
Here's some videos showing some of the games and skill challenges will include in our coaching to keep the kids engaged and building the skills to play good golf, <a href="http://www.pgamediacenter.com/videos/pga_sports_academy_videos.cfm?mod=1">http://www.pgamediacenter.com/videos/pga_sports_academy_videos.cfm?mod=1</a><br />

<div>
What's so special about a little par three course? Have a look a this short video:</div>

I have the great pleasure to invent fun ways to use the par three and it will be fun since all levels will enjoy it even though the holes distances range from 70-155 yards. Marc Logan who is the grass expert in the group, holding Masters degrees in both Botany and Agronomy. Just about as impressive is where he got his early experience and that would be at the famed <a href="http://www.golfdesigner.com/#/alister-mackenzie/4550577083">Alister MacKenzie</a> golf course in Australia Royal Melbourne.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
FYI- I believe Australia has the best greens in the world and they are bent grass greens. Marc and Greenway Golf have numerous golf courses now that are bent and remained bent for ten years with a proven model and they are on a crusade to bring others on board but strangely enough this hasn't happened. So they continue on their merry way consulting more enlightened courses on how to construct and maintain bent grass greens.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Good news for Alameda folks is that bent greens will soon be what they putt on and I have a feeling many more courses will get in line. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So beginning in April 2014 golfers will have a chance to play the new par 3, hit balls on the new grass tee on the back of the range and practice their chipping and sand shots in the new short game area. Whew, can't wait!</div>

Kris Moe back in Alameda</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
I'm Kris Moe and I'm thrilled to be moving back to Alameda to help Greenway Golf turn Chuck Corica into a top notch golf facility.<br />
<br />
Last year George Kelley (the founder and one of the three partners of Greenway) asked me to help him find a director of instruction for Chuck Corica. Since I lived in Santa Rosa (85 miles away) it didn't occur to me at the time to throw my hat in the ring for the position. One of my close friends thought it might be a great opportunity since Greenway Golf was committed to turning Alameda into their flagship location for the whole country to marvel at.<br />
<br />
When I learned that they are bringing in famed architect Rees Jones to redo the "South" (aka Jack Clark) course along with a redo of the par three course and building a new short game practice area I was convinced I wanted to be part of this development. <a href="http://www.alamedagolf.com/upcoming-course-renovations/">Click here to see the improvements.</a><br />

I attended Alameda High School through 1979. We always had a great high school team and the legacy continues with the continued support of juniors in the area. This includes free golf lessons for kids on Saturday mornings and many of these kids move onto more intensive instruction with <a href="http://www.alamedagolf.com/improve-your-game/">Erik Stone and Woody Winslow</a> (including current tour player James Hahn and female great Grace Na).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'll be offering golf lessons in Alameda but I'll also be very involved in growing the business of selling golf clubs, repairing golf clubs and making the facility a fun place to be, hence my title- <b>director of fun and golfer development!</b></div>

Until I get my name on Alameda's website feel free to contact my cell phone at 707-529-6458 or my email, kris.moe@sbcglobal.net Call to book a lesson or if you have any ideas on how to make Chuck Corica a better place to enjoy golf.</div>
