Mission Trails Golf Course-Where Nature Makes Its Home

Golf is one of those challenging sports that seems easy from the side lines. Spectators often underestimate the skill involved. What can be so hard about getting that little white ball into a hole? Happy Gilmore (Andy Sandler) says it best, “Why can’t you go into your home?” The primary problem in golf is not the ball but the player. Without the right swing that ball is going to go anywhere but back to its “home”.

 

Mission Trails golf course is 18 holes on the base of Cowles Mountain. The first nine holes wind around Lake Murray while the last 9 holes have some wilderness challenges. They also maintain a lighted driving range, refreshments, banquet facilities and pro shop. The golf course was once played by Tiger Woods.

 

Golf is a continuous learning process. According to Golf Smith try and maintain your V while swinging the club (1). The V is the result of a proper swing that ensures that your shoulders move first and your arms stay extended longer. The V will help your ball go further, create a natural swing and avoid slicing.

Regardless of whether or not your ball goes straight or to someone else’s home you won’t suffer from enjoying the nice San Diego weather, the outdoor scenery, or the company. You can set up a tee time or a class from their website.

Getting Your Golf Swing Just Right at the Stadium Golf Center

If you are in the Mission Valley area and looking for a place to practice your golf swing before you embarrass yourself you may want to visit the Stadium Golf Center and Batting Cages. Two levels of driving ranges, an opportunity to try out clubs and purchase your golfing gear at their store provides a gloving enthusiast everything they need. For $9.50 you can grab your medium bucket of balls and make your way to the practice mats or real grass. 

They have an award winning golf fitting service that helps to ensure you have the right clubs for you. According to Golf Digest many golfers swing improperly because they have off-the-rack clubs that don’t fit well with their body or mechanics (1). By using modern equipment they will ensure that spin rate, ball speed, face angle, and club path are calculated to build you the right clubs. 

Of course if you need golfing lessons you may make your way into the center and ask about their classes and private lessons. They provide a variety of instructors to ensure that you find the right person for you. They will help you improve your swing and take strokes off your game. Nothing wrong with asking for a little help when you need it.
