It’s been a couple of years that I’ve been traveling to McLemore to join up with John Hughes (Award Winning PGA Master Professional of Instruction) to perform golf media of his live coaching and instructional teachings. Recently they did a soft opening of The Keep, and it’s their newest course that is just amazing with breath-taking views and challenging holes with tee boxes that add various degrees of complexity. I’ll share more pictures of that on our Instagram page soon, but for this article, I wanted to share some unique pictures of a Bunker shot that John and Shane we’re training at The Keep.
And this last photograph is from an elevated cliff that is just behind this bunker and hole 17. One of the many impressive features of this new course is the natural landscape that becomes part of the experience. Large boulders and rocks that flank a lot of the course holes and in some are between holes. One bad stroke may send your ball to ricochet opposite to where your shot was intended.
In this shot below, you can see the explosion that happens from the sand when you correctly swing at the ball with the right amount of force to get your ball out of the bunker and positioned within a few feet of the pin.
