As a special event for our members, we are bringing Todd Sones, one of America’s 50 Greatest Teachers as recognized by Golf Digest, to host a Scoring Zone Short Game School on Thursday, April 26th at the Haggin Oaks Golf Complex. Call 916-808-2531 to register. If you are planning to attend the Haggin Oaks Golf Expo, consider coming to the golf course a day early to take part in this tremendous learning opportunity.
Approximately 42% of your score is on the green.
Another 25% is from the edge of the green to 30 yards out. Studies show that the average golfer loses 6-8 shots per round in those areas. Todd will be working with our staff to help students improve their score by targeting “The Scoring Zone”.
