For years I read about making my divot after the ball when hitting my irons. The bottom end of my stroke should descend about an inch into the ground in order to create the proper angle of attack with the clubhead. Unfortunately, this swing movement hinges on several factors that are important and will help you develop solid ball contact when using an iron. There is one factor often overlooked that all amateurs and some professionals neglect to talk about. Well, today I am here to rip off the band-aid to let the golfing world know that there is one topic that needs to be revealed.

Yesterday, I paid for my membership at the Mattawa Golf and Ski Resort. I have been a member of this course for a few years and I am still loving to play this nine hole track. It offers some challenges, chances to shoot low, but most of all the people are fun to play a round with regardless of the time. The weather is starting to chance and we are looking at some high teens this week. That will remove most of the snow and dry out the playing area. After talking to Mike, GM at the course, he is remise to forecast when the course will be open and I respect him not blinking first. Regardless, we are so close to playing golf in my area.

After watching the exciting action at the Masters, my desire for my local course to open has grown exponentially. I think we still have a couple of weeks, but the warm weather definitely stokes my competitive juices. While I wait, I will have to dig out my clubs from storage, give them a good cleaning and restock the supplies in my bag. It really is a matter of hurry up and wait!

Congratulations to Rory McIlroy for winning his first green jacket. Rory showed the resilience and mental strength needed to win at Augusta National and to complete his career grand slam. He made several poor (surprisingly poor) shots only to respond with amazing shots to gain back the momentum. I was amazed at some of the other scores and how many of those on the leaderboard made late surges to finish within the top 10 positions. After the dust settles, will say that the fans were the big winners as the 2025 Masters was the most exciting Major I watched in many years!

Moving day at the 2025 Masters was by far the most fun to watch in years. Saturday is traditionally the time when players make their move to position themselves for the final push on Sunday. Two players stood out and a couple moved up the leaderboard. With only 18 holes to go, I predict that if a player is not with five strokes, the chances of winning the green jacket are virtually non-existent. Although it is possible, it is unlikely that Patrick Reed or Ludvig Åberg will shoot well enough and Rory McIlroy, Corry Conners or Bryson DeChambeau will all play poorly enough to open the door for a run from down the field. So, with this in mind, what can expect in the final round of the 2025 Masters.
