Golfing the Ozarks


by Sean Saunders

It is exciting times for SWS GOLF and Southwest Missouri because of www.golfingtheozarks.com. Recently, I was given the opportunity to be the Teaching Professional for Golfing the Ozarks, which is a web based business started by Kevin Grinder. The website allows golfers to become members for free and enjoy all of the local benefits from instruction, keeping stats, buying and selling clubs, and learning about all of the golf courses in the Ozarks. Most of the golf courses in the area participate and get advertising through the website. It is similar to the Golf Digest website but stays local and has more options.

I did a video shoot at Deer Lake Golf Course on short game tips that are posted on www.golfingtheozarks.com. The tips covered everything from putting technique to how to play a pitch shot where the ball is sitting down in the rough. It was a ton of fun after I got used to the camera being in front of me. In the future, we're going to go out on the course and film how to play different types of full swing shots and also cover golf course management tips. The tips and website are updated every week. There are many ideas from blogging to forums that will be happening throughout the site in the near future!

Remember to visit www.golfingtheozarks next time you're "on the move" browsing the internet and be sure to sign up to become a member. If you sign up now, you get entered in a drawing to win a free ping putter. Golf is very popular in Southwest Missouri and has some of the best golf courses in the country, so take advantage of Golfing the Ozarks.
