New Groove Rule explained

Click here to read about the new "groove" rules on wedges. Don't worry, if you're not on the PGA tour you're good through 2024 with your current wedges or you can stock up on those that are currently being produced between now and the end of the year. After 2010, square grooved wedges will not be sold, but you may continue using them for 14 more years:)

Erika to Present on the Main Stage @ Dulles Golf Show Feb 6th

Good News...I was asked to come back for the 2nd year in a row to give a presentation/demonstration on the main stage of the North Coast Golf Show held at the Dulles Expo Center in Chantill VA the weekend of Feb. 5th. I will be on stage at 12:30pm-1:15pm on Saturday, February 6th. Come by for some great deals on equipment, pick up some coupons to local courses and get a free lesson from local pros including me.
Sure to be a good time! www.northcoastgolfshows.com See you there!

A New Year...a New Location! STONEWALL GOLF CLUB

Happy New Year! 2010 is going to be an exciting year. I have accepted a new contract with Stonewall Golf Club in Gainesville, VA (www.stonewallgolfclub.com) to run my golf programs there as their first ever Director Of Instruction. Please stay posted on my website for a full calendar of programs. I will be doing all of my booking online through www.smarterlessons.com, and you can also sign up for a mailing list to receive newsletters on the CONTACT page of my website. Stonewall is a very beautiful golf course and practice facility. I look forward to spending my time there and having you come visit me!

On a sad note this means that I have officially ended my time at the place I've called "home" for the last six years, International Country Club. I will also no longer be teaching at 1757 Golf Club or Virginia Oaks Golf Club.

Have a great winter and I look forward to seeing you when the snow melts!
