March Landscape MaintenanceNow is a good time to divide clump-forming Agave Aloe and Candelilla in the landscape or in containers

Many deciduous trees will start to produce new leaves as the weather becomes warmer including Mesquites and Desert-willow

Stem and flower buds are forming on many cacti at this time Look for these buds on Prickly-pears Chollas and Hedgehogs

Plant your Ocotillo from March through May as these are the ideal months to achieve greater transplanting success

If rainfall was plentiful during the previous fall-winter months look for colorful wildflower displays in the desert

Caretaker Landscape amp Tree Management Gives Back to the Vistancia Community

WateringAs temperatures rise during the month of March turn on your irrigation timer Test the timer to see if it is working properly and replace back-up batteries if necessary Check for leaks and clogged emitters and flush out the poly lines

How much to water depends on many factors including soil type weather rainfall microclimates cultural practices plant size and species and whether the plants is newly planted or established in the landscape (two years or more) Established native or desert-adapted trees and shrubs should be watered at least once to twice monthly Water at least three feet deep for your trees and two feet deep for your shrubs

Natural rainfall may be adequate for most well-established cacti and succulents However if rainfall is insufficient water may be

During the first week of February Guillermo Medina the Field Superintendent at Vistancia was driving through the community doing his daily inspections of the

property He noticed that the Fire Stationrsquos landscape could use a little attention Guillermo stopped in and spoke with the Fire Chief and learned that due to budget cuts they no longer could afford to have a landscape provider Upon returning to the Caretaker Landscape office he spoke with Dan Trudeau Director of Horticulture at Vistanica and they decided they wanted to give back and help those who do so much for the community Within a very short amount of time Caretaker CCMC team members and

their families offered to donate a Saturday afternoon to help with the Fire Station clean up

On February 7 the Caretaker Landscape Team CCMC employees and their families worked together to give back to the community of Vistanca and did a full clean up of the community fire station

Caretaker Landscape truly believes in giving back to the community and those in need throughout the valley Our owner Matt White empowers our employees to help not only the communities that we service but also with other various charitable events and projects We are proud to service the Vistancia community thank you for partnering with us

needed at least once to twice during the month of March Water your cacti and succulents to a depth of at least 8-12 inches

Established herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines should be watered every two to three weeks and at least one foot deep

Wait a week after planting your cacti and succulents before watering to minimize the chance of rot After the initial irrigation of your succulents allow the soil to dry out and water every 10-14 days Cacti may need to be watered once more after initial watering during the month of March but allow the soil to dry out between watering

Newly planted desert-adapted trees and shrubs need to be watered more frequently until established It can take up to 3-5 years for trees and at least 1-2 years for shrubs to become established in the landscape After planting your trees and shrubs they should be watered immediately and for the next few days to keep the root ball from drying out Schedule your irrigation cycle for trees and shrubs every 7-10 days during the month of March Allow the soil to dry out between irrigations and always water deeply three feet for trees and two feet for shrubs

Newly planted desert-adapted herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines should be watered immediately and for the next few days to keep the root ball from drying out Schedule your irrigation cycle for herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines for at least once to twice weekly and to a depth of one foot Allow soil to dry out between watering

Continue to water your annual wildflowers at least every two weeks to prolong flowering

Agaves and other succulents in containers should be watered at least once to twice this month Cacti in containers should be watered at least once this month However cacti and succulents in small containers may need to be watered more often including cacti and succulent seedlings

Keep an eye on your warm-season annuals and herbaceous perennials in containers Water them at least once to twice weekly

PruningPruning should be done to maintain plant health (remove dead damaged or diseased portions cross branching etc) to highlight the ldquonaturalrdquo shape of the plant to train a young plant and to eliminate hazards Excessive or heavy pruning causes significant stress to trees and shrubs The best practices are to prune the least amount necessary and prune for legitimate reasons How much to prune depends on the size species age as well as your intentions A few good principles to remember--a tree or shrub can recover from several small pruning wounds faster than from a single large wound and never remove more than 25 of the canopy in a year

Pruning newly planted trees and shrubs is not recommended and in fact can be detrimental However corrective pruning off broken or torn branches andor limbs can be done at planting time Save other pruning activities for the second or third year

Care To Know ndash March is a great time to inspect your irrigation system before the heat of summer

Remember it is always best to have a plan If you have any questions please ask your Caretaker Professional

W hile attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open this year I spent some time around the

putting green observing the PGA Tour Players stroke several putts I was paying specific

attention to their head and when they would turn their head to watch the putt roll out These guys are some of the best putters in the world It is like they have some natural ability to make the ball go in the hole from anywhere You can see it in their eyes

Believe it - you can putt like a PGA Tour Player if you practice the following techniques

bull Find a comfortable posture to set up over the golf ball The most important part of the set up is to make sure that your eyes are over the golf ball To test this hold a golf ball at your eye that is (supposedly) over the golf ball and drop the ball See where the golf ball lands If it lands on the golf ball you have accomplished a successful set up If the ball falls either side of the ball on the ground than you must adjust your set up accordingly

bull Now that your eyes are directly over the golf ball and your arms are extended so they can freely swing back and through you must make sure that you can visualize your intended target line To determine your intended target line you should take into account the contour of the green the speed of the green how damp or dry the green is and is the putt up or down hill Remember that the easiest putt in golf is the straight putt Therefore once you have determined the line of the putt imagine moving the hole to the left or right of the actual hole onto the intended target line and stroke the putt like it is a straight putt You have seen the ldquoAim Pointrdquo graphic of the Golf Channel

Believe You Are the Best Putter In the World By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

bull The difference between bad putters and great putters are two major fundamentals A great putter has the ability to trust their stroke and the line once they have decided the line of the putt The second keeping their head still Both of these are difficult to accomplish individually This is even more difficult to accomplish both at the same time The trust comes from a lot of practice and repetition through many different situations on the putting green from many different distances to different amounts of break in the putt The second part keeping your head still over the putt will require a lot of practice of knowing where to focus your eyes throughout the putt Upon stroking the putt and the ball traveling toward the hole you will keep your eyes focused on the original spot where the ball lie Do not rotate your head to look at the putt until you see the ball stop moving This can be done by using your peripheral vision Amazingly enough with a little practice you will begin to make more putts than ever

Practice this technique and you will begin telling yourself that you are the best putter in the world Have fun and remember if you need help with this tip or any other feel free to email me at gregellistrilogygolfclubcom or call me for a lesson at 6233285107

March Landscape MaintenanceNow is a good time to divide clump-forming Agave Aloe and Candelilla in the landscape or in containers

Many deciduous trees will start to produce new leaves as the weather becomes warmer including Mesquites and Desert-willow

Stem and flower buds are forming on many cacti at this time Look for these buds on Prickly-pears Chollas and Hedgehogs

Plant your Ocotillo from March through May as these are the ideal months to achieve greater transplanting success

If rainfall was plentiful during the previous fall-winter months look for colorful wildflower displays in the desert

Caretaker Landscape amp Tree Management Gives Back to the Vistancia Community

WateringAs temperatures rise during the month of March turn on your irrigation timer Test the timer to see if it is working properly and replace back-up batteries if necessary Check for leaks and clogged emitters and flush out the poly lines

How much to water depends on many factors including soil type weather rainfall microclimates cultural practices plant size and species and whether the plants is newly planted or established in the landscape (two years or more) Established native or desert-adapted trees and shrubs should be watered at least once to twice monthly Water at least three feet deep for your trees and two feet deep for your shrubs

Natural rainfall may be adequate for most well-established cacti and succulents However if rainfall is insufficient water may be

During the first week of February Guillermo Medina the Field Superintendent at Vistancia was driving through the community doing his daily inspections of the

property He noticed that the Fire Stationrsquos landscape could use a little attention Guillermo stopped in and spoke with the Fire Chief and learned that due to budget cuts they no longer could afford to have a landscape provider Upon returning to the Caretaker Landscape office he spoke with Dan Trudeau Director of Horticulture at Vistanica and they decided they wanted to give back and help those who do so much for the community Within a very short amount of time Caretaker CCMC team members and

their families offered to donate a Saturday afternoon to help with the Fire Station clean up

On February 7 the Caretaker Landscape Team CCMC employees and their families worked together to give back to the community of Vistanca and did a full clean up of the community fire station

Caretaker Landscape truly believes in giving back to the community and those in need throughout the valley Our owner Matt White empowers our employees to help not only the communities that we service but also with other various charitable events and projects We are proud to service the Vistancia community thank you for partnering with us

needed at least once to twice during the month of March Water your cacti and succulents to a depth of at least 8-12 inches

Established herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines should be watered every two to three weeks and at least one foot deep

Wait a week after planting your cacti and succulents before watering to minimize the chance of rot After the initial irrigation of your succulents allow the soil to dry out and water every 10-14 days Cacti may need to be watered once more after initial watering during the month of March but allow the soil to dry out between watering

Newly planted desert-adapted trees and shrubs need to be watered more frequently until established It can take up to 3-5 years for trees and at least 1-2 years for shrubs to become established in the landscape After planting your trees and shrubs they should be watered immediately and for the next few days to keep the root ball from drying out Schedule your irrigation cycle for trees and shrubs every 7-10 days during the month of March Allow the soil to dry out between irrigations and always water deeply three feet for trees and two feet for shrubs

Newly planted desert-adapted herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines should be watered immediately and for the next few days to keep the root ball from drying out Schedule your irrigation cycle for herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines for at least once to twice weekly and to a depth of one foot Allow soil to dry out between watering

Continue to water your annual wildflowers at least every two weeks to prolong flowering

Agaves and other succulents in containers should be watered at least once to twice this month Cacti in containers should be watered at least once this month However cacti and succulents in small containers may need to be watered more often including cacti and succulent seedlings

Keep an eye on your warm-season annuals and herbaceous perennials in containers Water them at least once to twice weekly

PruningPruning should be done to maintain plant health (remove dead damaged or diseased portions cross branching etc) to highlight the ldquonaturalrdquo shape of the plant to train a young plant and to eliminate hazards Excessive or heavy pruning causes significant stress to trees and shrubs The best practices are to prune the least amount necessary and prune for legitimate reasons How much to prune depends on the size species age as well as your intentions A few good principles to remember--a tree or shrub can recover from several small pruning wounds faster than from a single large wound and never remove more than 25 of the canopy in a year

Pruning newly planted trees and shrubs is not recommended and in fact can be detrimental However corrective pruning off broken or torn branches andor limbs can be done at planting time Save other pruning activities for the second or third year

Care To Know ndash March is a great time to inspect your irrigation system before the heat of summer

Remember it is always best to have a plan If you have any questions please ask your Caretaker Professional

W hile attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open this year I spent some time around the

putting green observing the PGA Tour Players stroke several putts I was paying specific

attention to their head and when they would turn their head to watch the putt roll out These guys are some of the best putters in the world It is like they have some natural ability to make the ball go in the hole from anywhere You can see it in their eyes

Believe it - you can putt like a PGA Tour Player if you practice the following techniques

bull Find a comfortable posture to set up over the golf ball The most important part of the set up is to make sure that your eyes are over the golf ball To test this hold a golf ball at your eye that is (supposedly) over the golf ball and drop the ball See where the golf ball lands If it lands on the golf ball you have accomplished a successful set up If the ball falls either side of the ball on the ground than you must adjust your set up accordingly

bull Now that your eyes are directly over the golf ball and your arms are extended so they can freely swing back and through you must make sure that you can visualize your intended target line To determine your intended target line you should take into account the contour of the green the speed of the green how damp or dry the green is and is the putt up or down hill Remember that the easiest putt in golf is the straight putt Therefore once you have determined the line of the putt imagine moving the hole to the left or right of the actual hole onto the intended target line and stroke the putt like it is a straight putt You have seen the ldquoAim Pointrdquo graphic of the Golf Channel

Believe You Are the Best Putter In the World By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

bull The difference between bad putters and great putters are two major fundamentals A great putter has the ability to trust their stroke and the line once they have decided the line of the putt The second keeping their head still Both of these are difficult to accomplish individually This is even more difficult to accomplish both at the same time The trust comes from a lot of practice and repetition through many different situations on the putting green from many different distances to different amounts of break in the putt The second part keeping your head still over the putt will require a lot of practice of knowing where to focus your eyes throughout the putt Upon stroking the putt and the ball traveling toward the hole you will keep your eyes focused on the original spot where the ball lie Do not rotate your head to look at the putt until you see the ball stop moving This can be done by using your peripheral vision Amazingly enough with a little practice you will begin to make more putts than ever

Practice this technique and you will begin telling yourself that you are the best putter in the world Have fun and remember if you need help with this tip or any other feel free to email me at gregellistrilogygolfclubcom or call me for a lesson at 6233285107

March Landscape MaintenanceNow is a good time to divide clump-forming Agave Aloe and Candelilla in the landscape or in containers

Many deciduous trees will start to produce new leaves as the weather becomes warmer including Mesquites and Desert-willow

Stem and flower buds are forming on many cacti at this time Look for these buds on Prickly-pears Chollas and Hedgehogs

Plant your Ocotillo from March through May as these are the ideal months to achieve greater transplanting success

If rainfall was plentiful during the previous fall-winter months look for colorful wildflower displays in the desert

Caretaker Landscape amp Tree Management Gives Back to the Vistancia Community

WateringAs temperatures rise during the month of March turn on your irrigation timer Test the timer to see if it is working properly and replace back-up batteries if necessary Check for leaks and clogged emitters and flush out the poly lines

How much to water depends on many factors including soil type weather rainfall microclimates cultural practices plant size and species and whether the plants is newly planted or established in the landscape (two years or more) Established native or desert-adapted trees and shrubs should be watered at least once to twice monthly Water at least three feet deep for your trees and two feet deep for your shrubs

Natural rainfall may be adequate for most well-established cacti and succulents However if rainfall is insufficient water may be

During the first week of February Guillermo Medina the Field Superintendent at Vistancia was driving through the community doing his daily inspections of the

property He noticed that the Fire Stationrsquos landscape could use a little attention Guillermo stopped in and spoke with the Fire Chief and learned that due to budget cuts they no longer could afford to have a landscape provider Upon returning to the Caretaker Landscape office he spoke with Dan Trudeau Director of Horticulture at Vistanica and they decided they wanted to give back and help those who do so much for the community Within a very short amount of time Caretaker CCMC team members and

their families offered to donate a Saturday afternoon to help with the Fire Station clean up

On February 7 the Caretaker Landscape Team CCMC employees and their families worked together to give back to the community of Vistanca and did a full clean up of the community fire station

Caretaker Landscape truly believes in giving back to the community and those in need throughout the valley Our owner Matt White empowers our employees to help not only the communities that we service but also with other various charitable events and projects We are proud to service the Vistancia community thank you for partnering with us

MYVISTANCIACOM | MARCH 2015 | 11

needed at least once to twice during the month of March Water your cacti and succulents to a depth of at least 8-12 inches

Established herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines should be watered every two to three weeks and at least one foot deep

Wait a week after planting your cacti and succulents before watering to minimize the chance of rot After the initial irrigation of your succulents allow the soil to dry out and water every 10-14 days Cacti may need to be watered once more after initial watering during the month of March but allow the soil to dry out between watering

Newly planted desert-adapted trees and shrubs need to be watered more frequently until established It can take up to 3-5 years for trees and at least 1-2 years for shrubs to become established in the landscape After planting your trees and shrubs they should be watered immediately and for the next few days to keep the root ball from drying out Schedule your irrigation cycle for trees and shrubs every 7-10 days during the month of March Allow the soil to dry out between irrigations and always water deeply three feet for trees and two feet for shrubs

Newly planted desert-adapted herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines should be watered immediately and for the next few days to keep the root ball from drying out Schedule your irrigation cycle for herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines for at least once to twice weekly and to a depth of one foot Allow soil to dry out between watering

Continue to water your annual wildflowers at least every two weeks to prolong flowering

Agaves and other succulents in containers should be watered at least once to twice this month Cacti in containers should be watered at least once this month However cacti and succulents in small containers may need to be watered more often including cacti and succulent seedlings

Keep an eye on your warm-season annuals and herbaceous perennials in containers Water them at least once to twice weekly

PruningPruning should be done to maintain plant health (remove dead damaged or diseased portions cross branching etc) to highlight the ldquonaturalrdquo shape of the plant to train a young plant and to eliminate hazards Excessive or heavy pruning causes significant stress to trees and shrubs The best practices are to prune the least amount necessary and prune for legitimate reasons How much to prune depends on the size species age as well as your intentions A few good principles to remember--a tree or shrub can recover from several small pruning wounds faster than from a single large wound and never remove more than 25 of the canopy in a year

Pruning newly planted trees and shrubs is not recommended and in fact can be detrimental However corrective pruning off broken or torn branches andor limbs can be done at planting time Save other pruning activities for the second or third year

Care To Know ndash March is a great time to inspect your irrigation system before the heat of summer

Remember it is always best to have a plan If you have any questions please ask your Caretaker Professional

W hile attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open this year I spent some time around the

putting green observing the PGA Tour Players stroke several putts I was paying specific

attention to their head and when they would turn their head to watch the putt roll out These guys are some of the best putters in the world It is like they have some natural ability to make the ball go in the hole from anywhere You can see it in their eyes

Believe it - you can putt like a PGA Tour Player if you practice the following techniques

bull Find a comfortable posture to set up over the golf ball The most important part of the set up is to make sure that your eyes are over the golf ball To test this hold a golf ball at your eye that is (supposedly) over the golf ball and drop the ball See where the golf ball lands If it lands on the golf ball you have accomplished a successful set up If the ball falls either side of the ball on the ground than you must adjust your set up accordingly

bull Now that your eyes are directly over the golf ball and your arms are extended so they can freely swing back and through you must make sure that you can visualize your intended target line To determine your intended target line you should take into account the contour of the green the speed of the green how damp or dry the green is and is the putt up or down hill Remember that the easiest putt in golf is the straight putt Therefore once you have determined the line of the putt imagine moving the hole to the left or right of the actual hole onto the intended target line and stroke the putt like it is a straight putt You have seen the ldquoAim Pointrdquo graphic of the Golf Channel

Believe You Are the Best Putter In the World By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

bull The difference between bad putters and great putters are two major fundamentals A great putter has the ability to trust their stroke and the line once they have decided the line of the putt The second keeping their head still Both of these are difficult to accomplish individually This is even more difficult to accomplish both at the same time The trust comes from a lot of practice and repetition through many different situations on the putting green from many different distances to different amounts of break in the putt The second part keeping your head still over the putt will require a lot of practice of knowing where to focus your eyes throughout the putt Upon stroking the putt and the ball traveling toward the hole you will keep your eyes focused on the original spot where the ball lie Do not rotate your head to look at the putt until you see the ball stop moving This can be done by using your peripheral vision Amazingly enough with a little practice you will begin to make more putts than ever

Practice this technique and you will begin telling yourself that you are the best putter in the world Have fun and remember if you need help with this tip or any other feel free to email me at gregellistrilogygolfclubcom or call me for a lesson at 6233285107

March Landscape MaintenanceNow is a good time to divide clump-forming Agave Aloe and Candelilla in the landscape or in containers

Many deciduous trees will start to produce new leaves as the weather becomes warmer including Mesquites and Desert-willow

Stem and flower buds are forming on many cacti at this time Look for these buds on Prickly-pears Chollas and Hedgehogs

Plant your Ocotillo from March through May as these are the ideal months to achieve greater transplanting success

If rainfall was plentiful during the previous fall-winter months look for colorful wildflower displays in the desert

Caretaker Landscape amp Tree Management Gives Back to the Vistancia Community

WateringAs temperatures rise during the month of March turn on your irrigation timer Test the timer to see if it is working properly and replace back-up batteries if necessary Check for leaks and clogged emitters and flush out the poly lines

How much to water depends on many factors including soil type weather rainfall microclimates cultural practices plant size and species and whether the plants is newly planted or established in the landscape (two years or more) Established native or desert-adapted trees and shrubs should be watered at least once to twice monthly Water at least three feet deep for your trees and two feet deep for your shrubs

Natural rainfall may be adequate for most well-established cacti and succulents However if rainfall is insufficient water may be

During the first week of February Guillermo Medina the Field Superintendent at Vistancia was driving through the community doing his daily inspections of the

property He noticed that the Fire Stationrsquos landscape could use a little attention Guillermo stopped in and spoke with the Fire Chief and learned that due to budget cuts they no longer could afford to have a landscape provider Upon returning to the Caretaker Landscape office he spoke with Dan Trudeau Director of Horticulture at Vistanica and they decided they wanted to give back and help those who do so much for the community Within a very short amount of time Caretaker CCMC team members and

their families offered to donate a Saturday afternoon to help with the Fire Station clean up

On February 7 the Caretaker Landscape Team CCMC employees and their families worked together to give back to the community of Vistanca and did a full clean up of the community fire station

Caretaker Landscape truly believes in giving back to the community and those in need throughout the valley Our owner Matt White empowers our employees to help not only the communities that we service but also with other various charitable events and projects We are proud to service the Vistancia community thank you for partnering with us

MYVISTANCIACOM | MARCH 2015 | 11

needed at least once to twice during the month of March Water your cacti and succulents to a depth of at least 8-12 inches

Established herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines should be watered every two to three weeks and at least one foot deep

Wait a week after planting your cacti and succulents before watering to minimize the chance of rot After the initial irrigation of your succulents allow the soil to dry out and water every 10-14 days Cacti may need to be watered once more after initial watering during the month of March but allow the soil to dry out between watering

Newly planted desert-adapted trees and shrubs need to be watered more frequently until established It can take up to 3-5 years for trees and at least 1-2 years for shrubs to become established in the landscape After planting your trees and shrubs they should be watered immediately and for the next few days to keep the root ball from drying out Schedule your irrigation cycle for trees and shrubs every 7-10 days during the month of March Allow the soil to dry out between irrigations and always water deeply three feet for trees and two feet for shrubs

Newly planted desert-adapted herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines should be watered immediately and for the next few days to keep the root ball from drying out Schedule your irrigation cycle for herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines for at least once to twice weekly and to a depth of one foot Allow soil to dry out between watering

Continue to water your annual wildflowers at least every two weeks to prolong flowering

Agaves and other succulents in containers should be watered at least once to twice this month Cacti in containers should be watered at least once this month However cacti and succulents in small containers may need to be watered more often including cacti and succulent seedlings

Keep an eye on your warm-season annuals and herbaceous perennials in containers Water them at least once to twice weekly

PruningPruning should be done to maintain plant health (remove dead damaged or diseased portions cross branching etc) to highlight the ldquonaturalrdquo shape of the plant to train a young plant and to eliminate hazards Excessive or heavy pruning causes significant stress to trees and shrubs The best practices are to prune the least amount necessary and prune for legitimate reasons How much to prune depends on the size species age as well as your intentions A few good principles to remember--a tree or shrub can recover from several small pruning wounds faster than from a single large wound and never remove more than 25 of the canopy in a year

Pruning newly planted trees and shrubs is not recommended and in fact can be detrimental However corrective pruning off broken or torn branches andor limbs can be done at planting time Save other pruning activities for the second or third year

Care To Know ndash March is a great time to inspect your irrigation system before the heat of summer

Remember it is always best to have a plan If you have any questions please ask your Caretaker Professional

W hile attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open this year I spent some time around the

putting green observing the PGA Tour Players stroke several putts I was paying specific

attention to their head and when they would turn their head to watch the putt roll out These guys are some of the best putters in the world It is like they have some natural ability to make the ball go in the hole from anywhere You can see it in their eyes

Believe it - you can putt like a PGA Tour Player if you practice the following techniques

bull Find a comfortable posture to set up over the golf ball The most important part of the set up is to make sure that your eyes are over the golf ball To test this hold a golf ball at your eye that is (supposedly) over the golf ball and drop the ball See where the golf ball lands If it lands on the golf ball you have accomplished a successful set up If the ball falls either side of the ball on the ground than you must adjust your set up accordingly

bull Now that your eyes are directly over the golf ball and your arms are extended so they can freely swing back and through you must make sure that you can visualize your intended target line To determine your intended target line you should take into account the contour of the green the speed of the green how damp or dry the green is and is the putt up or down hill Remember that the easiest putt in golf is the straight putt Therefore once you have determined the line of the putt imagine moving the hole to the left or right of the actual hole onto the intended target line and stroke the putt like it is a straight putt You have seen the ldquoAim Pointrdquo graphic of the Golf Channel

Believe You Are the Best Putter In the World By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

bull The difference between bad putters and great putters are two major fundamentals A great putter has the ability to trust their stroke and the line once they have decided the line of the putt The second keeping their head still Both of these are difficult to accomplish individually This is even more difficult to accomplish both at the same time The trust comes from a lot of practice and repetition through many different situations on the putting green from many different distances to different amounts of break in the putt The second part keeping your head still over the putt will require a lot of practice of knowing where to focus your eyes throughout the putt Upon stroking the putt and the ball traveling toward the hole you will keep your eyes focused on the original spot where the ball lie Do not rotate your head to look at the putt until you see the ball stop moving This can be done by using your peripheral vision Amazingly enough with a little practice you will begin to make more putts than ever

Practice this technique and you will begin telling yourself that you are the best putter in the world Have fun and remember if you need help with this tip or any other feel free to email me at gregellistrilogygolfclubcom or call me for a lesson at 6233285107

March Landscape MaintenanceNow is a good time to divide clump-forming Agave Aloe and Candelilla in the landscape or in containers

Many deciduous trees will start to produce new leaves as the weather becomes warmer including Mesquites and Desert-willow

Stem and flower buds are forming on many cacti at this time Look for these buds on Prickly-pears Chollas and Hedgehogs

Plant your Ocotillo from March through May as these are the ideal months to achieve greater transplanting success

If rainfall was plentiful during the previous fall-winter months look for colorful wildflower displays in the desert

Caretaker Landscape amp Tree Management Gives Back to the Vistancia Community

WateringAs temperatures rise during the month of March turn on your irrigation timer Test the timer to see if it is working properly and replace back-up batteries if necessary Check for leaks and clogged emitters and flush out the poly lines

How much to water depends on many factors including soil type weather rainfall microclimates cultural practices plant size and species and whether the plants is newly planted or established in the landscape (two years or more) Established native or desert-adapted trees and shrubs should be watered at least once to twice monthly Water at least three feet deep for your trees and two feet deep for your shrubs

Natural rainfall may be adequate for most well-established cacti and succulents However if rainfall is insufficient water may be

During the first week of February Guillermo Medina the Field Superintendent at Vistancia was driving through the community doing his daily inspections of the

property He noticed that the Fire Stationrsquos landscape could use a little attention Guillermo stopped in and spoke with the Fire Chief and learned that due to budget cuts they no longer could afford to have a landscape provider Upon returning to the Caretaker Landscape office he spoke with Dan Trudeau Director of Horticulture at Vistanica and they decided they wanted to give back and help those who do so much for the community Within a very short amount of time Caretaker CCMC team members and

their families offered to donate a Saturday afternoon to help with the Fire Station clean up

On February 7 the Caretaker Landscape Team CCMC employees and their families worked together to give back to the community of Vistanca and did a full clean up of the community fire station

Caretaker Landscape truly believes in giving back to the community and those in need throughout the valley Our owner Matt White empowers our employees to help not only the communities that we service but also with other various charitable events and projects We are proud to service the Vistancia community thank you for partnering with us

needed at least once to twice during the month of March Water your cacti and succulents to a depth of at least 8-12 inches

Established herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines should be watered every two to three weeks and at least one foot deep

Wait a week after planting your cacti and succulents before watering to minimize the chance of rot After the initial irrigation of your succulents allow the soil to dry out and water every 10-14 days Cacti may need to be watered once more after initial watering during the month of March but allow the soil to dry out between watering

Newly planted desert-adapted trees and shrubs need to be watered more frequently until established It can take up to 3-5 years for trees and at least 1-2 years for shrubs to become established in the landscape After planting your trees and shrubs they should be watered immediately and for the next few days to keep the root ball from drying out Schedule your irrigation cycle for trees and shrubs every 7-10 days during the month of March Allow the soil to dry out between irrigations and always water deeply three feet for trees and two feet for shrubs

Newly planted desert-adapted herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines should be watered immediately and for the next few days to keep the root ball from drying out Schedule your irrigation cycle for herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines for at least once to twice weekly and to a depth of one foot Allow soil to dry out between watering

Continue to water your annual wildflowers at least every two weeks to prolong flowering

Agaves and other succulents in containers should be watered at least once to twice this month Cacti in containers should be watered at least once this month However cacti and succulents in small containers may need to be watered more often including cacti and succulent seedlings

Keep an eye on your warm-season annuals and herbaceous perennials in containers Water them at least once to twice weekly

PruningPruning should be done to maintain plant health (remove dead damaged or diseased portions cross branching etc) to highlight the ldquonaturalrdquo shape of the plant to train a young plant and to eliminate hazards Excessive or heavy pruning causes significant stress to trees and shrubs The best practices are to prune the least amount necessary and prune for legitimate reasons How much to prune depends on the size species age as well as your intentions A few good principles to remember--a tree or shrub can recover from several small pruning wounds faster than from a single large wound and never remove more than 25 of the canopy in a year

Pruning newly planted trees and shrubs is not recommended and in fact can be detrimental However corrective pruning off broken or torn branches andor limbs can be done at planting time Save other pruning activities for the second or third year

Care To Know ndash March is a great time to inspect your irrigation system before the heat of summer

Remember it is always best to have a plan If you have any questions please ask your Caretaker Professional

W hile attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open this year I spent some time around the

putting green observing the PGA Tour Players stroke several putts I was paying specific

attention to their head and when they would turn their head to watch the putt roll out These guys are some of the best putters in the world It is like they have some natural ability to make the ball go in the hole from anywhere You can see it in their eyes

Believe it - you can putt like a PGA Tour Player if you practice the following techniques

bull Find a comfortable posture to set up over the golf ball The most important part of the set up is to make sure that your eyes are over the golf ball To test this hold a golf ball at your eye that is (supposedly) over the golf ball and drop the ball See where the golf ball lands If it lands on the golf ball you have accomplished a successful set up If the ball falls either side of the ball on the ground than you must adjust your set up accordingly

bull Now that your eyes are directly over the golf ball and your arms are extended so they can freely swing back and through you must make sure that you can visualize your intended target line To determine your intended target line you should take into account the contour of the green the speed of the green how damp or dry the green is and is the putt up or down hill Remember that the easiest putt in golf is the straight putt Therefore once you have determined the line of the putt imagine moving the hole to the left or right of the actual hole onto the intended target line and stroke the putt like it is a straight putt You have seen the ldquoAim Pointrdquo graphic of the Golf Channel

Believe You Are the Best Putter In the World By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

bull The difference between bad putters and great putters are two major fundamentals A great putter has the ability to trust their stroke and the line once they have decided the line of the putt The second keeping their head still Both of these are difficult to accomplish individually This is even more difficult to accomplish both at the same time The trust comes from a lot of practice and repetition through many different situations on the putting green from many different distances to different amounts of break in the putt The second part keeping your head still over the putt will require a lot of practice of knowing where to focus your eyes throughout the putt Upon stroking the putt and the ball traveling toward the hole you will keep your eyes focused on the original spot where the ball lie Do not rotate your head to look at the putt until you see the ball stop moving This can be done by using your peripheral vision Amazingly enough with a little practice you will begin to make more putts than ever

Practice this technique and you will begin telling yourself that you are the best putter in the world Have fun and remember if you need help with this tip or any other feel free to email me at gregellistrilogygolfclubcom or call me for a lesson at 6233285107

March Landscape MaintenanceNow is a good time to divide clump-forming Agave Aloe and Candelilla in the landscape or in containers

Many deciduous trees will start to produce new leaves as the weather becomes warmer including Mesquites and Desert-willow

Stem and flower buds are forming on many cacti at this time Look for these buds on Prickly-pears Chollas and Hedgehogs

Plant your Ocotillo from March through May as these are the ideal months to achieve greater transplanting success

If rainfall was plentiful during the previous fall-winter months look for colorful wildflower displays in the desert

Caretaker Landscape amp Tree Management Gives Back to the Vistancia Community

WateringAs temperatures rise during the month of March turn on your irrigation timer Test the timer to see if it is working properly and replace back-up batteries if necessary Check for leaks and clogged emitters and flush out the poly lines

How much to water depends on many factors including soil type weather rainfall microclimates cultural practices plant size and species and whether the plants is newly planted or established in the landscape (two years or more) Established native or desert-adapted trees and shrubs should be watered at least once to twice monthly Water at least three feet deep for your trees and two feet deep for your shrubs

Natural rainfall may be adequate for most well-established cacti and succulents However if rainfall is insufficient water may be

During the first week of February Guillermo Medina the Field Superintendent at Vistancia was driving through the community doing his daily inspections of the

property He noticed that the Fire Stationrsquos landscape could use a little attention Guillermo stopped in and spoke with the Fire Chief and learned that due to budget cuts they no longer could afford to have a landscape provider Upon returning to the Caretaker Landscape office he spoke with Dan Trudeau Director of Horticulture at Vistanica and they decided they wanted to give back and help those who do so much for the community Within a very short amount of time Caretaker CCMC team members and

their families offered to donate a Saturday afternoon to help with the Fire Station clean up

On February 7 the Caretaker Landscape Team CCMC employees and their families worked together to give back to the community of Vistanca and did a full clean up of the community fire station

Caretaker Landscape truly believes in giving back to the community and those in need throughout the valley Our owner Matt White empowers our employees to help not only the communities that we service but also with other various charitable events and projects We are proud to service the Vistancia community thank you for partnering with us

needed at least once to twice during the month of March Water your cacti and succulents to a depth of at least 8-12 inches

Established herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines should be watered every two to three weeks and at least one foot deep

Wait a week after planting your cacti and succulents before watering to minimize the chance of rot After the initial irrigation of your succulents allow the soil to dry out and water every 10-14 days Cacti may need to be watered once more after initial watering during the month of March but allow the soil to dry out between watering

Newly planted desert-adapted trees and shrubs need to be watered more frequently until established It can take up to 3-5 years for trees and at least 1-2 years for shrubs to become established in the landscape After planting your trees and shrubs they should be watered immediately and for the next few days to keep the root ball from drying out Schedule your irrigation cycle for trees and shrubs every 7-10 days during the month of March Allow the soil to dry out between irrigations and always water deeply three feet for trees and two feet for shrubs

Newly planted desert-adapted herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines should be watered immediately and for the next few days to keep the root ball from drying out Schedule your irrigation cycle for herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines for at least once to twice weekly and to a depth of one foot Allow soil to dry out between watering

Continue to water your annual wildflowers at least every two weeks to prolong flowering

Agaves and other succulents in containers should be watered at least once to twice this month Cacti in containers should be watered at least once this month However cacti and succulents in small containers may need to be watered more often including cacti and succulent seedlings

Keep an eye on your warm-season annuals and herbaceous perennials in containers Water them at least once to twice weekly

PruningPruning should be done to maintain plant health (remove dead damaged or diseased portions cross branching etc) to highlight the ldquonaturalrdquo shape of the plant to train a young plant and to eliminate hazards Excessive or heavy pruning causes significant stress to trees and shrubs The best practices are to prune the least amount necessary and prune for legitimate reasons How much to prune depends on the size species age as well as your intentions A few good principles to remember--a tree or shrub can recover from several small pruning wounds faster than from a single large wound and never remove more than 25 of the canopy in a year

Pruning newly planted trees and shrubs is not recommended and in fact can be detrimental However corrective pruning off broken or torn branches andor limbs can be done at planting time Save other pruning activities for the second or third year

Care To Know ndash March is a great time to inspect your irrigation system before the heat of summer

Remember it is always best to have a plan If you have any questions please ask your Caretaker Professional

24 | MARCH 2015 | VISTANCIA LIVING

W hile attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open this year I spent some time around the

putting green observing the PGA Tour Players stroke several putts I was paying specific

attention to their head and when they would turn their head to watch the putt roll out These guys are some of the best putters in the world It is like they have some natural ability to make the ball go in the hole from anywhere You can see it in their eyes

Believe it - you can putt like a PGA Tour Player if you practice the following techniques

bull Find a comfortable posture to set up over the golf ball The most important part of the set up is to make sure that your eyes are over the golf ball To test this hold a golf ball at your eye that is (supposedly) over the golf ball and drop the ball See where the golf ball lands If it lands on the golf ball you have accomplished a successful set up If the ball falls either side of the ball on the ground than you must adjust your set up accordingly

bull Now that your eyes are directly over the golf ball and your arms are extended so they can freely swing back and through you must make sure that you can visualize your intended target line To determine your intended target line you should take into account the contour of the green the speed of the green how damp or dry the green is and is the putt up or down hill Remember that the easiest putt in golf is the straight putt Therefore once you have determined the line of the putt imagine moving the hole to the left or right of the actual hole onto the intended target line and stroke the putt like it is a straight putt You have seen the ldquoAim Pointrdquo graphic of the Golf Channel

Believe You Are the Best Putter In the World By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

bull The difference between bad putters and great putters are two major fundamentals A great putter has the ability to trust their stroke and the line once they have decided the line of the putt The second keeping their head still Both of these are difficult to accomplish individually This is even more difficult to accomplish both at the same time The trust comes from a lot of practice and repetition through many different situations on the putting green from many different distances to different amounts of break in the putt The second part keeping your head still over the putt will require a lot of practice of knowing where to focus your eyes throughout the putt Upon stroking the putt and the ball traveling toward the hole you will keep your eyes focused on the original spot where the ball lie Do not rotate your head to look at the putt until you see the ball stop moving This can be done by using your peripheral vision Amazingly enough with a little practice you will begin to make more putts than ever

Practice this technique and you will begin telling yourself that you are the best putter in the world Have fun and remember if you need help with this tip or any other feel free to email me at gregellistrilogygolfclubcom or call me for a lesson at 6233285107

March Landscape MaintenanceNow is a good time to divide clump-forming Agave Aloe and Candelilla in the landscape or in containers

Many deciduous trees will start to produce new leaves as the weather becomes warmer including Mesquites and Desert-willow

Stem and flower buds are forming on many cacti at this time Look for these buds on Prickly-pears Chollas and Hedgehogs

Plant your Ocotillo from March through May as these are the ideal months to achieve greater transplanting success

If rainfall was plentiful during the previous fall-winter months look for colorful wildflower displays in the desert

Caretaker Landscape amp Tree Management Gives Back to the Vistancia Community

WateringAs temperatures rise during the month of March turn on your irrigation timer Test the timer to see if it is working properly and replace back-up batteries if necessary Check for leaks and clogged emitters and flush out the poly lines

How much to water depends on many factors including soil type weather rainfall microclimates cultural practices plant size and species and whether the plants is newly planted or established in the landscape (two years or more) Established native or desert-adapted trees and shrubs should be watered at least once to twice monthly Water at least three feet deep for your trees and two feet deep for your shrubs

Natural rainfall may be adequate for most well-established cacti and succulents However if rainfall is insufficient water may be

During the first week of February Guillermo Medina the Field Superintendent at Vistancia was driving through the community doing his daily inspections of the

property He noticed that the Fire Stationrsquos landscape could use a little attention Guillermo stopped in and spoke with the Fire Chief and learned that due to budget cuts they no longer could afford to have a landscape provider Upon returning to the Caretaker Landscape office he spoke with Dan Trudeau Director of Horticulture at Vistanica and they decided they wanted to give back and help those who do so much for the community Within a very short amount of time Caretaker CCMC team members and

their families offered to donate a Saturday afternoon to help with the Fire Station clean up

On February 7 the Caretaker Landscape Team CCMC employees and their families worked together to give back to the community of Vistanca and did a full clean up of the community fire station

Caretaker Landscape truly believes in giving back to the community and those in need throughout the valley Our owner Matt White empowers our employees to help not only the communities that we service but also with other various charitable events and projects We are proud to service the Vistancia community thank you for partnering with us

MYVISTANCIACOM | MARCH 2015 | 11

needed at least once to twice during the month of March Water your cacti and succulents to a depth of at least 8-12 inches

Established herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines should be watered every two to three weeks and at least one foot deep

Wait a week after planting your cacti and succulents before watering to minimize the chance of rot After the initial irrigation of your succulents allow the soil to dry out and water every 10-14 days Cacti may need to be watered once more after initial watering during the month of March but allow the soil to dry out between watering

Newly planted desert-adapted trees and shrubs need to be watered more frequently until established It can take up to 3-5 years for trees and at least 1-2 years for shrubs to become established in the landscape After planting your trees and shrubs they should be watered immediately and for the next few days to keep the root ball from drying out Schedule your irrigation cycle for trees and shrubs every 7-10 days during the month of March Allow the soil to dry out between irrigations and always water deeply three feet for trees and two feet for shrubs

Newly planted desert-adapted herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines should be watered immediately and for the next few days to keep the root ball from drying out Schedule your irrigation cycle for herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines for at least once to twice weekly and to a depth of one foot Allow soil to dry out between watering

Continue to water your annual wildflowers at least every two weeks to prolong flowering

Agaves and other succulents in containers should be watered at least once to twice this month Cacti in containers should be watered at least once this month However cacti and succulents in small containers may need to be watered more often including cacti and succulent seedlings

Keep an eye on your warm-season annuals and herbaceous perennials in containers Water them at least once to twice weekly

PruningPruning should be done to maintain plant health (remove dead damaged or diseased portions cross branching etc) to highlight the ldquonaturalrdquo shape of the plant to train a young plant and to eliminate hazards Excessive or heavy pruning causes significant stress to trees and shrubs The best practices are to prune the least amount necessary and prune for legitimate reasons How much to prune depends on the size species age as well as your intentions A few good principles to remember--a tree or shrub can recover from several small pruning wounds faster than from a single large wound and never remove more than 25 of the canopy in a year

Pruning newly planted trees and shrubs is not recommended and in fact can be detrimental However corrective pruning off broken or torn branches andor limbs can be done at planting time Save other pruning activities for the second or third year

Care To Know ndash March is a great time to inspect your irrigation system before the heat of summer

Remember it is always best to have a plan If you have any questions please ask your Caretaker Professional

W hile attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open this year I spent some time around the

putting green observing the PGA Tour Players stroke several putts I was paying specific

attention to their head and when they would turn their head to watch the putt roll out These guys are some of the best putters in the world It is like they have some natural ability to make the ball go in the hole from anywhere You can see it in their eyes

Believe it - you can putt like a PGA Tour Player if you practice the following techniques

bull Find a comfortable posture to set up over the golf ball The most important part of the set up is to make sure that your eyes are over the golf ball To test this hold a golf ball at your eye that is (supposedly) over the golf ball and drop the ball See where the golf ball lands If it lands on the golf ball you have accomplished a successful set up If the ball falls either side of the ball on the ground than you must adjust your set up accordingly

bull Now that your eyes are directly over the golf ball and your arms are extended so they can freely swing back and through you must make sure that you can visualize your intended target line To determine your intended target line you should take into account the contour of the green the speed of the green how damp or dry the green is and is the putt up or down hill Remember that the easiest putt in golf is the straight putt Therefore once you have determined the line of the putt imagine moving the hole to the left or right of the actual hole onto the intended target line and stroke the putt like it is a straight putt You have seen the ldquoAim Pointrdquo graphic of the Golf Channel

Believe You Are the Best Putter In the World By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

bull The difference between bad putters and great putters are two major fundamentals A great putter has the ability to trust their stroke and the line once they have decided the line of the putt The second keeping their head still Both of these are difficult to accomplish individually This is even more difficult to accomplish both at the same time The trust comes from a lot of practice and repetition through many different situations on the putting green from many different distances to different amounts of break in the putt The second part keeping your head still over the putt will require a lot of practice of knowing where to focus your eyes throughout the putt Upon stroking the putt and the ball traveling toward the hole you will keep your eyes focused on the original spot where the ball lie Do not rotate your head to look at the putt until you see the ball stop moving This can be done by using your peripheral vision Amazingly enough with a little practice you will begin to make more putts than ever

Practice this technique and you will begin telling yourself that you are the best putter in the world Have fun and remember if you need help with this tip or any other feel free to email me at gregellistrilogygolfclubcom or call me for a lesson at 6233285107

needed at least once to twice during the month of March Water your cacti and succulents to a depth of at least 8-12 inches

Established herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines should be watered every two to three weeks and at least one foot deep

Wait a week after planting your cacti and succulents before watering to minimize the chance of rot After the initial irrigation of your succulents allow the soil to dry out and water every 10-14 days Cacti may need to be watered once more after initial watering during the month of March but allow the soil to dry out between watering

Newly planted desert-adapted trees and shrubs need to be watered more frequently until established It can take up to 3-5 years for trees and at least 1-2 years for shrubs to become established in the landscape After planting your trees and shrubs they should be watered immediately and for the next few days to keep the root ball from drying out Schedule your irrigation cycle for trees and shrubs every 7-10 days during the month of March Allow the soil to dry out between irrigations and always water deeply three feet for trees and two feet for shrubs

Newly planted desert-adapted herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines should be watered immediately and for the next few days to keep the root ball from drying out Schedule your irrigation cycle for herbaceous perennials groundcovers and vines for at least once to twice weekly and to a depth of one foot Allow soil to dry out between watering

Continue to water your annual wildflowers at least every two weeks to prolong flowering

Agaves and other succulents in containers should be watered at least once to twice this month Cacti in containers should be watered at least once this month However cacti and succulents in small containers may need to be watered more often including cacti and succulent seedlings

Keep an eye on your warm-season annuals and herbaceous perennials in containers Water them at least once to twice weekly

PruningPruning should be done to maintain plant health (remove dead damaged or diseased portions cross branching etc) to highlight the ldquonaturalrdquo shape of the plant to train a young plant and to eliminate hazards Excessive or heavy pruning causes significant stress to trees and shrubs The best practices are to prune the least amount necessary and prune for legitimate reasons How much to prune depends on the size species age as well as your intentions A few good principles to remember--a tree or shrub can recover from several small pruning wounds faster than from a single large wound and never remove more than 25 of the canopy in a year

Pruning newly planted trees and shrubs is not recommended and in fact can be detrimental However corrective pruning off broken or torn branches andor limbs can be done at planting time Save other pruning activities for the second or third year

Care To Know ndash March is a great time to inspect your irrigation system before the heat of summer

Remember it is always best to have a plan If you have any questions please ask your Caretaker Professional

W hile attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open this year I spent some time around the

putting green observing the PGA Tour Players stroke several putts I was paying specific

attention to their head and when they would turn their head to watch the putt roll out These guys are some of the best putters in the world It is like they have some natural ability to make the ball go in the hole from anywhere You can see it in their eyes

Believe it - you can putt like a PGA Tour Player if you practice the following techniques

bull Find a comfortable posture to set up over the golf ball The most important part of the set up is to make sure that your eyes are over the golf ball To test this hold a golf ball at your eye that is (supposedly) over the golf ball and drop the ball See where the golf ball lands If it lands on the golf ball you have accomplished a successful set up If the ball falls either side of the ball on the ground than you must adjust your set up accordingly

bull Now that your eyes are directly over the golf ball and your arms are extended so they can freely swing back and through you must make sure that you can visualize your intended target line To determine your intended target line you should take into account the contour of the green the speed of the green how damp or dry the green is and is the putt up or down hill Remember that the easiest putt in golf is the straight putt Therefore once you have determined the line of the putt imagine moving the hole to the left or right of the actual hole onto the intended target line and stroke the putt like it is a straight putt You have seen the ldquoAim Pointrdquo graphic of the Golf Channel

Believe You Are the Best Putter In the World By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

bull The difference between bad putters and great putters are two major fundamentals A great putter has the ability to trust their stroke and the line once they have decided the line of the putt The second keeping their head still Both of these are difficult to accomplish individually This is even more difficult to accomplish both at the same time The trust comes from a lot of practice and repetition through many different situations on the putting green from many different distances to different amounts of break in the putt The second part keeping your head still over the putt will require a lot of practice of knowing where to focus your eyes throughout the putt Upon stroking the putt and the ball traveling toward the hole you will keep your eyes focused on the original spot where the ball lie Do not rotate your head to look at the putt until you see the ball stop moving This can be done by using your peripheral vision Amazingly enough with a little practice you will begin to make more putts than ever

Practice this technique and you will begin telling yourself that you are the best putter in the world Have fun and remember if you need help with this tip or any other feel free to email me at gregellistrilogygolfclubcom or call me for a lesson at 6233285107

24 | MARCH 2015 | VISTANCIA LIVING

W hile attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open this year I spent some time around the

putting green observing the PGA Tour Players stroke several putts I was paying specific

attention to their head and when they would turn their head to watch the putt roll out These guys are some of the best putters in the world It is like they have some natural ability to make the ball go in the hole from anywhere You can see it in their eyes

Believe it - you can putt like a PGA Tour Player if you practice the following techniques

bull Find a comfortable posture to set up over the golf ball The most important part of the set up is to make sure that your eyes are over the golf ball To test this hold a golf ball at your eye that is (supposedly) over the golf ball and drop the ball See where the golf ball lands If it lands on the golf ball you have accomplished a successful set up If the ball falls either side of the ball on the ground than you must adjust your set up accordingly

bull Now that your eyes are directly over the golf ball and your arms are extended so they can freely swing back and through you must make sure that you can visualize your intended target line To determine your intended target line you should take into account the contour of the green the speed of the green how damp or dry the green is and is the putt up or down hill Remember that the easiest putt in golf is the straight putt Therefore once you have determined the line of the putt imagine moving the hole to the left or right of the actual hole onto the intended target line and stroke the putt like it is a straight putt You have seen the ldquoAim Pointrdquo graphic of the Golf Channel

Believe You Are the Best Putter In the World By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

bull The difference between bad putters and great putters are two major fundamentals A great putter has the ability to trust their stroke and the line once they have decided the line of the putt The second keeping their head still Both of these are difficult to accomplish individually This is even more difficult to accomplish both at the same time The trust comes from a lot of practice and repetition through many different situations on the putting green from many different distances to different amounts of break in the putt The second part keeping your head still over the putt will require a lot of practice of knowing where to focus your eyes throughout the putt Upon stroking the putt and the ball traveling toward the hole you will keep your eyes focused on the original spot where the ball lie Do not rotate your head to look at the putt until you see the ball stop moving This can be done by using your peripheral vision Amazingly enough with a little practice you will begin to make more putts than ever

Practice this technique and you will begin telling yourself that you are the best putter in the world Have fun and remember if you need help with this tip or any other feel free to email me at gregellistrilogygolfclubcom or call me for a lesson at 6233285107

W hile attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open this year I spent some time around the

putting green observing the PGA Tour Players stroke several putts I was paying specific

attention to their head and when they would turn their head to watch the putt roll out These guys are some of the best putters in the world It is like they have some natural ability to make the ball go in the hole from anywhere You can see it in their eyes

Believe it - you can putt like a PGA Tour Player if you practice the following techniques

bull Find a comfortable posture to set up over the golf ball The most important part of the set up is to make sure that your eyes are over the golf ball To test this hold a golf ball at your eye that is (supposedly) over the golf ball and drop the ball See where the golf ball lands If it lands on the golf ball you have accomplished a successful set up If the ball falls either side of the ball on the ground than you must adjust your set up accordingly

bull Now that your eyes are directly over the golf ball and your arms are extended so they can freely swing back and through you must make sure that you can visualize your intended target line To determine your intended target line you should take into account the contour of the green the speed of the green how damp or dry the green is and is the putt up or down hill Remember that the easiest putt in golf is the straight putt Therefore once you have determined the line of the putt imagine moving the hole to the left or right of the actual hole onto the intended target line and stroke the putt like it is a straight putt You have seen the ldquoAim Pointrdquo graphic of the Golf Channel

Believe You Are the Best Putter In the World By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

bull The difference between bad putters and great putters are two major fundamentals A great putter has the ability to trust their stroke and the line once they have decided the line of the putt The second keeping their head still Both of these are difficult to accomplish individually This is even more difficult to accomplish both at the same time The trust comes from a lot of practice and repetition through many different situations on the putting green from many different distances to different amounts of break in the putt The second part keeping your head still over the putt will require a lot of practice of knowing where to focus your eyes throughout the putt Upon stroking the putt and the ball traveling toward the hole you will keep your eyes focused on the original spot where the ball lie Do not rotate your head to look at the putt until you see the ball stop moving This can be done by using your peripheral vision Amazingly enough with a little practice you will begin to make more putts than ever

Practice this technique and you will begin telling yourself that you are the best putter in the world Have fun and remember if you need help with this tip or any other feel free to email me at gregellistrilogygolfclubcom or call me for a lesson at 6233285107

24 | MARCH 2015 | VISTANCIA LIVING

W hile attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open this year I spent some time around the

putting green observing the PGA Tour Players stroke several putts I was paying specific

attention to their head and when they would turn their head to watch the putt roll out These guys are some of the best putters in the world It is like they have some natural ability to make the ball go in the hole from anywhere You can see it in their eyes

Believe it - you can putt like a PGA Tour Player if you practice the following techniques

bull Find a comfortable posture to set up over the golf ball The most important part of the set up is to make sure that your eyes are over the golf ball To test this hold a golf ball at your eye that is (supposedly) over the golf ball and drop the ball See where the golf ball lands If it lands on the golf ball you have accomplished a successful set up If the ball falls either side of the ball on the ground than you must adjust your set up accordingly

bull Now that your eyes are directly over the golf ball and your arms are extended so they can freely swing back and through you must make sure that you can visualize your intended target line To determine your intended target line you should take into account the contour of the green the speed of the green how damp or dry the green is and is the putt up or down hill Remember that the easiest putt in golf is the straight putt Therefore once you have determined the line of the putt imagine moving the hole to the left or right of the actual hole onto the intended target line and stroke the putt like it is a straight putt You have seen the ldquoAim Pointrdquo graphic of the Golf Channel

Believe You Are the Best Putter In the World By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

bull The difference between bad putters and great putters are two major fundamentals A great putter has the ability to trust their stroke and the line once they have decided the line of the putt The second keeping their head still Both of these are difficult to accomplish individually This is even more difficult to accomplish both at the same time The trust comes from a lot of practice and repetition through many different situations on the putting green from many different distances to different amounts of break in the putt The second part keeping your head still over the putt will require a lot of practice of knowing where to focus your eyes throughout the putt Upon stroking the putt and the ball traveling toward the hole you will keep your eyes focused on the original spot where the ball lie Do not rotate your head to look at the putt until you see the ball stop moving This can be done by using your peripheral vision Amazingly enough with a little practice you will begin to make more putts than ever

Practice this technique and you will begin telling yourself that you are the best putter in the world Have fun and remember if you need help with this tip or any other feel free to email me at gregellistrilogygolfclubcom or call me for a lesson at 6233285107

W hile attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open this year I spent some time around the

putting green observing the PGA Tour Players stroke several putts I was paying specific

attention to their head and when they would turn their head to watch the putt roll out These guys are some of the best putters in the world It is like they have some natural ability to make the ball go in the hole from anywhere You can see it in their eyes

Believe it - you can putt like a PGA Tour Player if you practice the following techniques

bull Find a comfortable posture to set up over the golf ball The most important part of the set up is to make sure that your eyes are over the golf ball To test this hold a golf ball at your eye that is (supposedly) over the golf ball and drop the ball See where the golf ball lands If it lands on the golf ball you have accomplished a successful set up If the ball falls either side of the ball on the ground than you must adjust your set up accordingly

bull Now that your eyes are directly over the golf ball and your arms are extended so they can freely swing back and through you must make sure that you can visualize your intended target line To determine your intended target line you should take into account the contour of the green the speed of the green how damp or dry the green is and is the putt up or down hill Remember that the easiest putt in golf is the straight putt Therefore once you have determined the line of the putt imagine moving the hole to the left or right of the actual hole onto the intended target line and stroke the putt like it is a straight putt You have seen the ldquoAim Pointrdquo graphic of the Golf Channel

Believe You Are the Best Putter In the World By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

bull The difference between bad putters and great putters are two major fundamentals A great putter has the ability to trust their stroke and the line once they have decided the line of the putt The second keeping their head still Both of these are difficult to accomplish individually This is even more difficult to accomplish both at the same time The trust comes from a lot of practice and repetition through many different situations on the putting green from many different distances to different amounts of break in the putt The second part keeping your head still over the putt will require a lot of practice of knowing where to focus your eyes throughout the putt Upon stroking the putt and the ball traveling toward the hole you will keep your eyes focused on the original spot where the ball lie Do not rotate your head to look at the putt until you see the ball stop moving This can be done by using your peripheral vision Amazingly enough with a little practice you will begin to make more putts than ever

Practice this technique and you will begin telling yourself that you are the best putter in the world Have fun and remember if you need help with this tip or any other feel free to email me at gregellistrilogygolfclubcom or call me for a lesson at 6233285107

24 | MARCH 2015 | VISTANCIA LIVING

W hile attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open this year I spent some time around the

putting green observing the PGA Tour Players stroke several putts I was paying specific

attention to their head and when they would turn their head to watch the putt roll out These guys are some of the best putters in the world It is like they have some natural ability to make the ball go in the hole from anywhere You can see it in their eyes

Believe it - you can putt like a PGA Tour Player if you practice the following techniques

bull Find a comfortable posture to set up over the golf ball The most important part of the set up is to make sure that your eyes are over the golf ball To test this hold a golf ball at your eye that is (supposedly) over the golf ball and drop the ball See where the golf ball lands If it lands on the golf ball you have accomplished a successful set up If the ball falls either side of the ball on the ground than you must adjust your set up accordingly

bull Now that your eyes are directly over the golf ball and your arms are extended so they can freely swing back and through you must make sure that you can visualize your intended target line To determine your intended target line you should take into account the contour of the green the speed of the green how damp or dry the green is and is the putt up or down hill Remember that the easiest putt in golf is the straight putt Therefore once you have determined the line of the putt imagine moving the hole to the left or right of the actual hole onto the intended target line and stroke the putt like it is a straight putt You have seen the ldquoAim Pointrdquo graphic of the Golf Channel

Believe You Are the Best Putter In the World By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

bull The difference between bad putters and great putters are two major fundamentals A great putter has the ability to trust their stroke and the line once they have decided the line of the putt The second keeping their head still Both of these are difficult to accomplish individually This is even more difficult to accomplish both at the same time The trust comes from a lot of practice and repetition through many different situations on the putting green from many different distances to different amounts of break in the putt The second part keeping your head still over the putt will require a lot of practice of knowing where to focus your eyes throughout the putt Upon stroking the putt and the ball traveling toward the hole you will keep your eyes focused on the original spot where the ball lie Do not rotate your head to look at the putt until you see the ball stop moving This can be done by using your peripheral vision Amazingly enough with a little practice you will begin to make more putts than ever

Practice this technique and you will begin telling yourself that you are the best putter in the world Have fun and remember if you need help with this tip or any other feel free to email me at gregellistrilogygolfclubcom or call me for a lesson at 6233285107

24 | MARCH 2015 | VISTANCIA LIVING

W hile attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open this year I spent some time around the

putting green observing the PGA Tour Players stroke several putts I was paying specific

attention to their head and when they would turn their head to watch the putt roll out These guys are some of the best putters in the world It is like they have some natural ability to make the ball go in the hole from anywhere You can see it in their eyes

Believe it - you can putt like a PGA Tour Player if you practice the following techniques

bull Find a comfortable posture to set up over the golf ball The most important part of the set up is to make sure that your eyes are over the golf ball To test this hold a golf ball at your eye that is (supposedly) over the golf ball and drop the ball See where the golf ball lands If it lands on the golf ball you have accomplished a successful set up If the ball falls either side of the ball on the ground than you must adjust your set up accordingly

bull Now that your eyes are directly over the golf ball and your arms are extended so they can freely swing back and through you must make sure that you can visualize your intended target line To determine your intended target line you should take into account the contour of the green the speed of the green how damp or dry the green is and is the putt up or down hill Remember that the easiest putt in golf is the straight putt Therefore once you have determined the line of the putt imagine moving the hole to the left or right of the actual hole onto the intended target line and stroke the putt like it is a straight putt You have seen the ldquoAim Pointrdquo graphic of the Golf Channel

Believe You Are the Best Putter In the World By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

bull The difference between bad putters and great putters are two major fundamentals A great putter has the ability to trust their stroke and the line once they have decided the line of the putt The second keeping their head still Both of these are difficult to accomplish individually This is even more difficult to accomplish both at the same time The trust comes from a lot of practice and repetition through many different situations on the putting green from many different distances to different amounts of break in the putt The second part keeping your head still over the putt will require a lot of practice of knowing where to focus your eyes throughout the putt Upon stroking the putt and the ball traveling toward the hole you will keep your eyes focused on the original spot where the ball lie Do not rotate your head to look at the putt until you see the ball stop moving This can be done by using your peripheral vision Amazingly enough with a little practice you will begin to make more putts than ever

Practice this technique and you will begin telling yourself that you are the best putter in the world Have fun and remember if you need help with this tip or any other feel free to email me at gregellistrilogygolfclubcom or call me for a lesson at 6233285107

W hile attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open this year I spent some time around the

putting green observing the PGA Tour Players stroke several putts I was paying specific

attention to their head and when they would turn their head to watch the putt roll out These guys are some of the best putters in the world It is like they have some natural ability to make the ball go in the hole from anywhere You can see it in their eyes

Believe it - you can putt like a PGA Tour Player if you practice the following techniques

bull Find a comfortable posture to set up over the golf ball The most important part of the set up is to make sure that your eyes are over the golf ball To test this hold a golf ball at your eye that is (supposedly) over the golf ball and drop the ball See where the golf ball lands If it lands on the golf ball you have accomplished a successful set up If the ball falls either side of the ball on the ground than you must adjust your set up accordingly

bull Now that your eyes are directly over the golf ball and your arms are extended so they can freely swing back and through you must make sure that you can visualize your intended target line To determine your intended target line you should take into account the contour of the green the speed of the green how damp or dry the green is and is the putt up or down hill Remember that the easiest putt in golf is the straight putt Therefore once you have determined the line of the putt imagine moving the hole to the left or right of the actual hole onto the intended target line and stroke the putt like it is a straight putt You have seen the ldquoAim Pointrdquo graphic of the Golf Channel

Believe You Are the Best Putter In the World By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

bull The difference between bad putters and great putters are two major fundamentals A great putter has the ability to trust their stroke and the line once they have decided the line of the putt The second keeping their head still Both of these are difficult to accomplish individually This is even more difficult to accomplish both at the same time The trust comes from a lot of practice and repetition through many different situations on the putting green from many different distances to different amounts of break in the putt The second part keeping your head still over the putt will require a lot of practice of knowing where to focus your eyes throughout the putt Upon stroking the putt and the ball traveling toward the hole you will keep your eyes focused on the original spot where the ball lie Do not rotate your head to look at the putt until you see the ball stop moving This can be done by using your peripheral vision Amazingly enough with a little practice you will begin to make more putts than ever

Practice this technique and you will begin telling yourself that you are the best putter in the world Have fun and remember if you need help with this tip or any other feel free to email me at gregellistrilogygolfclubcom or call me for a lesson at 6233285107

W hile attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open this year I spent some time around the

putting green observing the PGA Tour Players stroke several putts I was paying specific

attention to their head and when they would turn their head to watch the putt roll out These guys are some of the best putters in the world It is like they have some natural ability to make the ball go in the hole from anywhere You can see it in their eyes

Believe it - you can putt like a PGA Tour Player if you practice the following techniques

bull Find a comfortable posture to set up over the golf ball The most important part of the set up is to make sure that your eyes are over the golf ball To test this hold a golf ball at your eye that is (supposedly) over the golf ball and drop the ball See where the golf ball lands If it lands on the golf ball you have accomplished a successful set up If the ball falls either side of the ball on the ground than you must adjust your set up accordingly

bull Now that your eyes are directly over the golf ball and your arms are extended so they can freely swing back and through you must make sure that you can visualize your intended target line To determine your intended target line you should take into account the contour of the green the speed of the green how damp or dry the green is and is the putt up or down hill Remember that the easiest putt in golf is the straight putt Therefore once you have determined the line of the putt imagine moving the hole to the left or right of the actual hole onto the intended target line and stroke the putt like it is a straight putt You have seen the ldquoAim Pointrdquo graphic of the Golf Channel

Believe You Are the Best Putter In the World By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

bull The difference between bad putters and great putters are two major fundamentals A great putter has the ability to trust their stroke and the line once they have decided the line of the putt The second keeping their head still Both of these are difficult to accomplish individually This is even more difficult to accomplish both at the same time The trust comes from a lot of practice and repetition through many different situations on the putting green from many different distances to different amounts of break in the putt The second part keeping your head still over the putt will require a lot of practice of knowing where to focus your eyes throughout the putt Upon stroking the putt and the ball traveling toward the hole you will keep your eyes focused on the original spot where the ball lie Do not rotate your head to look at the putt until you see the ball stop moving This can be done by using your peripheral vision Amazingly enough with a little practice you will begin to make more putts than ever

Practice this technique and you will begin telling yourself that you are the best putter in the world Have fun and remember if you need help with this tip or any other feel free to email me at gregellistrilogygolfclubcom or call me for a lesson at 6233285107

24 | MARCH 2015 | VISTANCIA LIVING

W hile attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open this year I spent some time around the

putting green observing the PGA Tour Players stroke several putts I was paying specific

attention to their head and when they would turn their head to watch the putt roll out These guys are some of the best putters in the world It is like they have some natural ability to make the ball go in the hole from anywhere You can see it in their eyes

Believe it - you can putt like a PGA Tour Player if you practice the following techniques

bull Find a comfortable posture to set up over the golf ball The most important part of the set up is to make sure that your eyes are over the golf ball To test this hold a golf ball at your eye that is (supposedly) over the golf ball and drop the ball See where the golf ball lands If it lands on the golf ball you have accomplished a successful set up If the ball falls either side of the ball on the ground than you must adjust your set up accordingly

bull Now that your eyes are directly over the golf ball and your arms are extended so they can freely swing back and through you must make sure that you can visualize your intended target line To determine your intended target line you should take into account the contour of the green the speed of the green how damp or dry the green is and is the putt up or down hill Remember that the easiest putt in golf is the straight putt Therefore once you have determined the line of the putt imagine moving the hole to the left or right of the actual hole onto the intended target line and stroke the putt like it is a straight putt You have seen the ldquoAim Pointrdquo graphic of the Golf Channel

Believe You Are the Best Putter In the World By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

bull The difference between bad putters and great putters are two major fundamentals A great putter has the ability to trust their stroke and the line once they have decided the line of the putt The second keeping their head still Both of these are difficult to accomplish individually This is even more difficult to accomplish both at the same time The trust comes from a lot of practice and repetition through many different situations on the putting green from many different distances to different amounts of break in the putt The second part keeping your head still over the putt will require a lot of practice of knowing where to focus your eyes throughout the putt Upon stroking the putt and the ball traveling toward the hole you will keep your eyes focused on the original spot where the ball lie Do not rotate your head to look at the putt until you see the ball stop moving This can be done by using your peripheral vision Amazingly enough with a little practice you will begin to make more putts than ever

Practice this technique and you will begin telling yourself that you are the best putter in the world Have fun and remember if you need help with this tip or any other feel free to email me at gregellistrilogygolfclubcom or call me for a lesson at 6233285107

bull The difference between bad putters and great putters are two major fundamentals A great putter has the ability to trust their stroke and the line once they have decided the line of the putt The second keeping their head still Both of these are difficult to accomplish individually This is even more difficult to accomplish both at the same time The trust comes from a lot of practice and repetition through many different situations on the putting green from many different distances to different amounts of break in the putt The second part keeping your head still over the putt will require a lot of practice of knowing where to focus your eyes throughout the putt Upon stroking the putt and the ball traveling toward the hole you will keep your eyes focused on the original spot where the ball lie Do not rotate your head to look at the putt until you see the ball stop moving This can be done by using your peripheral vision Amazingly enough with a little practice you will begin to make more putts than ever

Practice this technique and you will begin telling yourself that you are the best putter in the world Have fun and remember if you need help with this tip or any other feel free to email me at gregellistrilogygolfclubcom or call me for a lesson at 6233285107

W hile attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open this year I spent some time around the

putting green observing the PGA Tour Players stroke several putts I was paying specific

attention to their head and when they would turn their head to watch the putt roll out These guys are some of the best putters in the world It is like they have some natural ability to make the ball go in the hole from anywhere You can see it in their eyes

Believe it - you can putt like a PGA Tour Player if you practice the following techniques

bull Find a comfortable posture to set up over the golf ball The most important part of the set up is to make sure that your eyes are over the golf ball To test this hold a golf ball at your eye that is (supposedly) over the golf ball and drop the ball See where the golf ball lands If it lands on the golf ball you have accomplished a successful set up If the ball falls either side of the ball on the ground than you must adjust your set up accordingly

bull Now that your eyes are directly over the golf ball and your arms are extended so they can freely swing back and through you must make sure that you can visualize your intended target line To determine your intended target line you should take into account the contour of the green the speed of the green how damp or dry the green is and is the putt up or down hill Remember that the easiest putt in golf is the straight putt Therefore once you have determined the line of the putt imagine moving the hole to the left or right of the actual hole onto the intended target line and stroke the putt like it is a straight putt You have seen the ldquoAim Pointrdquo graphic of the Golf Channel

Believe You Are the Best Putter In the World By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

bull The difference between bad putters and great putters are two major fundamentals A great putter has the ability to trust their stroke and the line once they have decided the line of the putt The second keeping their head still Both of these are difficult to accomplish individually This is even more difficult to accomplish both at the same time The trust comes from a lot of practice and repetition through many different situations on the putting green from many different distances to different amounts of break in the putt The second part keeping your head still over the putt will require a lot of practice of knowing where to focus your eyes throughout the putt Upon stroking the putt and the ball traveling toward the hole you will keep your eyes focused on the original spot where the ball lie Do not rotate your head to look at the putt until you see the ball stop moving This can be done by using your peripheral vision Amazingly enough with a little practice you will begin to make more putts than ever

Practice this technique and you will begin telling yourself that you are the best putter in the world Have fun and remember if you need help with this tip or any other feel free to email me at gregellistrilogygolfclubcom or call me for a lesson at 6233285107

24 | MARCH 2015 | VISTANCIA LIVING

W hile attending the Waste Management Phoenix Open this year I spent some time around the

putting green observing the PGA Tour Players stroke several putts I was paying specific

attention to their head and when they would turn their head to watch the putt roll out These guys are some of the best putters in the world It is like they have some natural ability to make the ball go in the hole from anywhere You can see it in their eyes

Believe it - you can putt like a PGA Tour Player if you practice the following techniques

bull Find a comfortable posture to set up over the golf ball The most important part of the set up is to make sure that your eyes are over the golf ball To test this hold a golf ball at your eye that is (supposedly) over the golf ball and drop the ball See where the golf ball lands If it lands on the golf ball you have accomplished a successful set up If the ball falls either side of the ball on the ground than you must adjust your set up accordingly

bull Now that your eyes are directly over the golf ball and your arms are extended so they can freely swing back and through you must make sure that you can visualize your intended target line To determine your intended target line you should take into account the contour of the green the speed of the green how damp or dry the green is and is the putt up or down hill Remember that the easiest putt in golf is the straight putt Therefore once you have determined the line of the putt imagine moving the hole to the left or right of the actual hole onto the intended target line and stroke the putt like it is a straight putt You have seen the ldquoAim Pointrdquo graphic of the Golf Channel

Believe You Are the Best Putter In the World By Greg Ellis General Manager Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia

bull The difference between bad putters and great putters are two major fundamentals A great putter has the ability to trust their stroke and the line once they have decided the line of the putt The second keeping their head still Both of these are difficult to accomplish individually This is even more difficult to accomplish both at the same time The trust comes from a lot of practice and repetition through many different situations on the putting green from many different distances to different amounts of break in the putt The second part keeping your head still over the putt will require a lot of practice of knowing where to focus your eyes throughout the putt Upon stroking the putt and the ball traveling toward the hole you will keep your eyes focused on the original spot where the ball lie Do not rotate your head to look at the putt until you see the ball stop moving This can be done by using your peripheral vision Amazingly enough with a little practice you will begin to make more putts than ever

Practice this technique and you will begin telling yourself that you are the best putter in the world Have fun and remember if you need help with this tip or any other feel free to email me at gregellistrilogygolfclubcom or call me for a lesson at 6233285107

Make sure to tune in to the Bunker to Bunker Golf Show every Saturday morning from 7 -9AM on Arizona Sport 987 or on the internet at arizonasportscom for more tips and updates on all of the weekrsquos golfing news in the Valley and around the world Join me Jim Hill and Marty Monaghan for a comprehensive look at the golf world for the week
