Explore Branson Golf Destination Courses Shine in ‘Golfweek’s Best’ Annual Rankings

Five cited for excellence in Missouri including the top four, three garner ‘Top 100 Public Course’ status

Golfweek recently announced two “Golfweek’s Best” lists (“Top Courses by State” and “Top 100 Public Access Courses”) and five courses in the Explore Branson golf destination garnered best-of recognition in them.

Nationally, Ozarks National (Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw design), Buffalo Ridge (Tom Fazio and Johnny Morris), and Payne’s Valley (Tiger Woods) earned distinction in the “Top 100 Public Course” list, ranking nos. 51, 77, and 93, respectively.

For Missouri public courses, Golfweek course raters ranked Ozarks National No. 1 in the state, Buffalo Ridge No. 2, Branson Hills No. 3 (Chuck Smith/Bobby Clampett), Payne’s Valley No. 4, and LedgeStone No. 7 (Tom Clark).

The hundreds of members of Golfweek’s course-ratings panel continually evaluate courses and rate them based on 10 criteria on a points basis of 1 through 10. They also file a single, overall rating on each course. Those overall ratings are averaged to produce the final rankings.

“Golfweek bestowing this honor on us validates not only that our course is considered one of the finest, but also that the Branson golf destination is one of the best with five courses voted into the state’s top 10,” said Dan Davis, PGA, Branson Hills Golf Club, Director of Golf.

Branson’s five other courses are Top of the Rock (Jack Nicklaus), Mountain Top (Gary Player), Thousand Hills (Bob Cupp), The Pointe, and Holiday Hills. Top of the Rock and Mountain Top are award-winning par-3 courses, a welcome addition in golf trips where players tee up 18-holers in the morning, then add afternoon “short course” rounds. Thousand Hills has often earned “favorite course” status among area golfers, while The Pointe and Holiday Hills provide additional popular 18-hole playing options.

The two short courses and Ozarks National, Buffalo Ridge, and Payne’s Valley are amenities of Big Cedar Lodge.

All 10 courses in the destination are located near one another as well as hundreds of restaurants, lodging options, and after-golf attractions.

“Golfweek rating five of our 10 courses among the finest in the state and country is exciting; we hope it inspires people to visit our golf destination in the Branson Missouri Ozarks,” said Lynn Berry, Director of Communications, Explore Branson.

Branson is the No. 3 rated trending tourism destination in America according to Tripadvisor, a place where live entertainment theatres, lakes, museums, a world-famous theme park (Silver Dollar City), sports venues, outdoor adventures, and family friendly activities proliferate.

Tripadvisor, the world’s largest travel guidance platform named Branson’s Silver Dollar City the No. 1 theme park in the United States last week. Utilizing traveler reviews and ratings for experiences, tours, activities, and attractions on their site over a 12-month period (May 1, 2022 - April 30, 2023), as well as an additional editorial process, earned the theme park top status.

Mastering Golf Techniques: Secrets of Success from the Experts

Mastering Golf Techniques: Secrets of Success from the Experts

Golf, an elegant sport with centuries of tradition, requires a balance of technical skill, mental focus, and physical fitness. Becoming successful in golf is not just about hitting the ball straight; it’s about refining every aspect of your game. Here, we'll explore essential techniques and strategies that professionals rely on to excel, from grip to mental resilience.

1. Perfecting the Grip

The grip is one of the most fundamental elements in golf. It influences control, distance, and accuracy. Professional golfers often experiment with different grips to find what works best for them. The three primary grips are:

The Interlocking Grip: Used by greats like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, this grip is favored for golfers with smaller hands. The pinky finger of the right hand interlocks with the index finger of the left, providing stability.

The Overlapping Grip: Popular among players with larger hands, this grip involves overlapping the pinky finger of the right hand on top of the left hand's index and middle fingers. It encourages more wrist action, which can generate power.

The Ten-Finger Grip: Often used by beginners, the ten-finger (or baseball) grip can give maximum control for those who struggle with other grip types. Some pros occasionally use it for unique shot types. Tip: Experts recommend frequent practice to maintain consistency in your grip, as this will significantly impact your shot's accuracy.

2. Mastering the Stance and Posture

Stance and posture set the foundation for a powerful and accurate swing. Golfers adopt a stable, slightly bent stance with feet shoulder-width apart to allow smooth weight transfer.

Balanced Posture: The correct posture should feel natural and athletic. A slight bend in the knees and a forward tilt from the hips, keeping the spine straight, is crucial. This posture provides balance and enables an unimpeded swing path.

Ball Positioning: Depending on the club, the ball’s position should vary. For example, experts position the ball slightly forward for drivers to help launch it with a slight upward trajectory, while wedges may have a more centered position for precision. Tip: Maintaining a consistent setup routine ensures that stance and posture remain steady, helping golfers develop reliable habits that lead to success.

3. Swing Mechanics

A perfect swing requires impeccable timing, coordination, and rhythm. Professionals spend years fine-tuning their swing to reduce flaws and optimize efficiency.

Backswing: The backswing sets up the energy for the shot. Keeping the arms and body connected as you turn is essential to prevent erratic movements. Professionals emphasize a slow, smooth backswing, enabling better control over the club.

Downswing: Timing is everything in the downswing. Pros accelerate through the ball, initiating the swing with the lower body rather than the arms. This sequence helps achieve maximum power and a consistent strike.

Follow-Through: A balanced follow-through reflects a good swing. The club should naturally guide the body toward the target, indicating proper alignment and rhythm. Tip: Practicing the swing with a mirror or video recording helps identify areas for improvement, making it easier to adjust mechanics effectively.

4. Short Game Mastery

The short game (chipping, pitching, and putting) is where many games are won or lost. Experts place a heavy emphasis on these areas, refining their technique to save strokes around the green.

Chipping: Experts keep the ball low to minimize unpredictable bounces. The chipping stroke resembles a putting motion, using minimal wrist movement and focusing on consistent contact.

Pitching: In situations where a higher trajectory is needed, pros use an open stance and adjust the loft to control spin and distance. This allows them to land the ball softly on the green.

Putting: Putting is often the most mentally demanding part of the game. Professionals spend hours reading greens and practicing putting drills to enhance touch and consistency. Tip: Dedicated practice with wedges and putters is crucial for improving short game skills. Many pros practice exclusively with these clubs for up to 50% of their training time.

5. Course Management

Course management is a strategic approach to navigating a golf course based on one’s strengths and weaknesses.

Playing to Strengths: Top players analyze each hole and select shots based on their strengths, even if it means sacrificing distance for accuracy.

Risk Assessment: Professional golfers are cautious about risky shots. Instead of trying to reach the green in two on a long par-5, for instance, they may opt to lay up, leaving a manageable wedge distance instead of risking a bunker or water hazard. Tip: Developing a pre-round strategy that takes the course layout, wind, and hazards into account can reduce mistakes and maximize scoring opportunities.

6. Physical Fitness and Flexibility

Physical conditioning plays a significant role in modern golf. Strength training, flexibility, and endurance exercises allow golfers to maintain high levels of performance across four rounds in a tournament.

Core Strength: The core is essential for generating power in the swing. Exercises like planks, Russian twists, and medicine ball throws improve stability and enable a stronger swing.

Flexibility: Flexibility, particularly in the shoulders and hips, allows for a full range of motion in the swing. Many professionals incorporate yoga or dynamic stretching routines to maintain flexibility.

Endurance: Walking a golf course can be physically taxing, especially over multiple rounds. Cardiovascular conditioning, like running or cycling, is beneficial for maintaining energy and focus throughout the game. Tip: A golf-specific fitness routine enhances endurance and minimizes the risk of injury, helping pros stay sharp and healthy.

7. Mental Focus and Resilience

The mental side of golf is just as important as the physical. Professionals are known for their strong mental game, which allows them to handle the highs and lows of each round.

Visualization: Before each shot, golfers visualize the desired result. Imagining the ball’s trajectory and final position helps players focus and commit to the shot.

Emotional Control: Golf can be a frustrating game, but experts stay calm, especially after bad shots. They focus on the next play, avoiding negative thoughts and staying present.

Routine: Consistent pre-shot routines help players relax and mentally prepare. This routine typically involves visualizing the shot, taking a few practice swings, and ensuring alignment. Tip: Practicing meditation, breathing exercises, or mindfulness techniques can improve focus and resilience, helping players manage pressure and maintain composure.

Conclusion

Success in golf is a result of attention to technique, mental discipline, and physical preparedness. Professionals are relentless in refining every aspect of their game, from grip to fitness to emotional control. For amateur golfers, adopting even a fraction of these strategies can lead to significant improvement, moving them closer to the professional level. Whether you’re just starting or aiming for expert-level play, these techniques form the foundation of a successful golf journey.

A Look Again at 2023 in Golf: A 12 months of Drama

Golf is a sport the place sure years stand out above others, and 2023 might show to be a kind of years. It’s a heady listing. In 1860, Willie Park Sr. received the primary British Open, which was held at Prestwick Golf Membership, marking the debut of the oldest main event. In 1913, the newbie Francis Ouimet received the U.S. Open, beating the 2 greatest English golfers of the time, and popularizing the game in the US. In 1930, Bobby Jones accomplished the primary and solely Grand Slam, profitable the 4 majors of his day in a single 12 months. Babe Didrikson Zaharias grew to become the primary girl to make a reduce on the PGA Tour in 1945, competing within the Phoenix Open and Tucson Open. She went on to dominate that decade of golf. In 1950 the L.P.G.A. was fashioned. In 1968, a bunch {of professional} golfers, led by Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, broke away from the Skilled Golf Affiliation of America to create the PGA Tour. Tiger Woods accomplished the Tiger Slam — profitable all 4 males’s main championships consecutively over two seasons, from 2000-1. This 12 months may show pivotal for the boys’s and girls’s sport, with each of the highest excursions mergers. For the PGA Tour, June 6 signifies a earlier than and after in skilled golf. That morning Jay Monahan, the PGA Tour commissioner, introduced a “framework settlement” for the PGA Tour to work with LIV Golf, the Saudi-backed golf league that he had spent a lot of the earlier 12 months disparaging. “I'd ask any participant that has left or any participant that might ever think about leaving: Have you ever ever needed to apologize for being a member of the PGA Tour?” Monahan had said a year earlier. It was one in a sequence of feedback he and officers made connecting LIV, which is funded by Saudi Arabia’s Public Funding Fund (P.I.F.), with the nation’s historical past of human rights abuses. However that day in June, in an about-face, there was Monahan sitting subsequent to the fund’s governor, Yasir al-Rumayyan, calling for cooperation. “There are solely a handful of people that weren’t shocked given the previous two years,” mentioned Kevin Hopkins, vp at Excel Sports activities Administration. “Not figuring out what that is going to result in goes to be the subsequent headline.” As stunning as this announcement was for golf followers, it was additionally a shock to the PGA Tour’s membership, which was largely caught off guard. The 12 months within the girls’s sport was extra optimistic — thrilling main championships, the debut of a promising younger star, a hotly contested Solheim Cup that ended in a draw between the 2 groups — however the girls’s tour additionally has a cloud of uncertainty hanging over it. After the L.P.G.A. and its equal throughout the Atlantic, the Girls European Tour (L.E.T.), reached an settlement to merge, the L.E.T. vote to approve the merger was abruptly postponed. Right here’s a glance again at a curler coaster 12 months.

Behind the scenes

He has since resigned from the PGA Tour board. “My response was shock, as I’m certain quite a lot of the gamers have been taken again by it, by what occurred,” Woods mentioned final month at his Hero World Problem. “So shortly with none enter or any details about it, it was simply thrown on the market.” The transfer galvanized prime gamers to push for management on the tour’s board. Woods, who now sits on the board, mentioned gamers needed to make sure that, going ahead, “we weren't going to be unnoticed of the method like we have been.” For his half, Monahan has expressed remorse with how the announcement was made. “The rollout was a failure on my half,” he mentioned at The New York Instances DealBook Summit final month. “I’ve owned it, and I’ve continued to personal it.” On the opposite facet, LIV Golf was given a lift, if not a lifeline. The league had been rolled out haphazardly. Its first tournaments in 2022 had been marred by issues, corresponding to the shortage of a tv deal and workforce uniforms. The P.I.F. put a whole bunch of hundreds of thousands of {dollars} behind the brand new league, however after the preliminary wave of star defections to LIV — Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and the then-reigning British Open champion, Cameron Smith — consideration shifted to poor attendance at occasions and a scarcity of a serious media companion to broadcast the occasions. The June 6 announcement gave the fledging league relevance. “We went from being solid unfairly as outsiders in golf to our chairman sitting shoulder to shoulder with the commissioner of the PGA Tour,” mentioned Gary Davidson, LIV Golf’s interim chief working officer in 2023. “We at all times knew that LIV may coexist.” With the L.P.G.A. and L.E.T., their merger talks had been going easily. The 2 excursions have been operating in a joint venture since 2020, a interval when prize cash rose on each excursions. This 12 months the 2 boards negotiated phrases for a merger, with the L.P.G.A. successfully taking on the L.E.T. Whether or not it occurs will depend on a vote by the L.E.T. gamers. “The vote has been postponed by the L.E.T. board from its unique Nov. 21 date as extra time was wanted to guage all related info obtained,” mentioned Mollie Marcoux Samaan, the L.P.G.A. commissioner. “A brand new date for the vote has not but been set. The L.P.G.A. board stays enthusiastic concerning the alternative to deliver our two organizations collectively.”

Within the highlight

Each the ladies’s sport and males’s sport additionally offered compelling story traces on the course. The primary males’s main, the Masters Match, got here all the way down to a duel between Jon Rahm, a stalwart of the PGA Tour, and Koepka, a a number of main champion who had left for LIV. Rahm prevailed, however within the subsequent main, the PGA Championship, Koepka pulled away from the sector to win his fifth main. LIV noticed this as validation. “Competing within the Masters after which profitable the PGA Championship was large for us,” Davidson mentioned. “It proved the competitiveness of LIV, that it may put together the fellows properly for majors.”(On Thursday, LIV introduced that Rahm would join its tour subsequent 12 months.) The 5 girls’s main championships additionally offered pleasure. Lilia Vu received the primary and final of the majors, to rise to the No. 1 rating and declare the participant of the 12 months title. Céline Boutier grew to become the primary French participant to win her dwelling nation’s Amundi Evian Championship. And Allisen Corpuz, a younger American in her second 12 months on the tour, received the U.S. Girls’s Open. The L.P.G.A. additionally acquired a feel-good story with Rose Zhang, who had lengthy been the No. 1-ranked newbie girl on the planet. Zhang turned professional in June and won the first event she entered. “It’s been a whirlwind for her, however she’s completed what folks have anticipated her to do,” mentioned Hopkins, who runs Excel Sports activities Administration’s L.P.G.A. observe. “The L.P.G.A. is worked up to have her as one of many stars.” Staff competitors was intense on each the boys’s and the ladies’s sides, however in several methods: The Solheim Cup was shut and thrilling, whereas the boys’s equal, the Ryder Cup, was a rout. Staff Europe blew out the U.S. workforce, which succeeded solely in preserving its 30-year shedding streak in Europe. There's one wrinkle for future European groups, and that’s the partnership the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour have struck. The PGA Tour has successfully made DP World a feeder tour, granting membership to the highest 10 gamers on its annual Race to Dubai rankings. This successfully culls the most effective gamers in Europe. With simply weeks left within the 12 months, there’s nonetheless the opportunity of extra drama. Whereas all eyes are on whether or not the PGA Tour-LIV framework settlement will get signed by 12 months finish, questions stay whether or not the L.P.G.A. and L.E.T. merger will undergo too.
