GOLF ACADEMY
LAS SENDAS JUNIOR GOLFER TELLS HER GOLF JOURNEY
We would like to share the following story, written by Nicole Ewing, a junior golfer at Las Sendas.
My dad bought me my first set of clubs six years ago. He said he wanted me to go out and play with him. At first I was frustrated because I could not hit the ball very far, but I slowly progressed. When I started the Las Sendas Junior Golf Program, I was improving faster than ever. Not only was I improving my swing, putting and chipping, but I also was having fun. I enjoyed spending time with my friends and the incredible coaches. I received quality instruction from the instructors, and I got to practice my skills on the course. I love to play golf with my friends and family. The more I play, the more I want to improve. I want to play on the golf team at my high school. So, I will need to continue practicing. I will continue playing at Las Sendas for the summer, and I can’t wait for the lessons to start in the fall.
Nicole drives her ball an average of 220 yards. Her short game keeps developing, and it is exciting to see her scores improve. She truly is dedicated to the game, and spends her spare time practicing her golf skills and partaking in karate lessons. Nicole has one more year to reach her goal to play high school golf. She is a genuine team player, and always encourages juniors in our golf programs.
Our junior programs are growing at Las Sendas. Below is a summary of the programs offered. These programs are designed for juniors ages 5 through 17 of all skill levels:
- Junior Golf Sticks Program (ages 5 through 15)—beginner/less experienced—November through April.
- Junior Golf Big Sticks Program (ages 12 through 15)—more advanced—November through April.
- Junior League (ages 12 through 17) gain experience in competitive golf (new this year).
- Junior/Parent Tournament—Our third annual tournament will be held in May.
- Junior Golf Summer Sticks Program (ages 5 through 15)—June and July.
Our junior programs include learning processes and opportunities to get out and play golf, sportsmanship, playing strategies, etiquette and various golf learning stations. It is so rewarding to see our juniors develop their golf skills and have so much fun.
Additional information and registration forms will be available early this fall in the Las Sendas Golf Shop, and on our website at www.lassendas.com. For additional information, email Tracy Berman at tberman@lassendas.com.

GOLF SHOP
CRUSH IT!
Just like Bubba, you too can hit the golf ball longer and straighter overnight, without even practicing or taking a golf lesson. How? You can do so with the latest and greatest technology from PING—Turbulator Technology and Straight Flight Technology. Turbulators are a series of ridges on the crown of the driver and fairway woods. The improved aerodynamics from the turbulators have proven to assist the average golfer with an increased club head speed of up to one mile per hour by reducing drag. This increase could result in three to five extra yards of distance. In addition, with the weight adjustments in the G30 SFT, you can’t help but hit the ball straighter. It’s just that simple. These are hot off the press.
With the Aug. 1 release of the new G30 series, you can find immediate added length in your irons and more consistency around the greens. Attack the pin. Come on out to the Golf Shop at Las Sendas, and try for yourself. We have three right-hand demo drivers available, with three different shafts, a 3-wood, a 5-wood and two hybrids. They are adjustable, and the shafts are interchangeable. If you bought the 10-degree, and find you start hitting the ball too high, you can simply change the loft down to a 9-degree. If you do not like the shaft, there is no need to get a whole new driver. Just get a new shaft with a flex better suited to you.
Out with the old…
