Range Closure This Week

The driving range will be closed this Wednesday (June 13th) from 8 am until around 5 pm. The reason for the closing is our maintenance staff will be re-soding the practice facility.

Make Your Practice Count

Make Practice Count by:

Rob Myers, PGA (Director of Instruction at SilverHorn)

I'm happy to say that over the past several weeks I have seen 

a number of new faces around the golf course practicing.  

Since this is a time of year where people spend a fair amount of time practicing, that is what I'm going to discuss today.  I would like to spend a few minutes talking about how to make your practice count.

Too often I hear people on the range talk about how long they practiced for, or how many golf balls they hit in a practice session.  While both of those things are admirable, it says very little about the quality of the practice.  I'm sure everybody is familiar with the saying, "practice like you play."  There is a lot of truth to that saying, especially with golf.  One of the most important things you can do on the driving range to have more meaningful practice is to slow down.  How often do you hit 4 shots in a matter of 60 seconds on the golf course?  Hopefully never, but it happens quite a bit on the range.  Next time you are at the range try taking your time in between shots.  Whether it's getting a drink of water, taking a practice swing, taking a deep breath, or simply just walking back to your golf bag to clean your club, make sure that you are slowing down your practice and giving each shot a little more thought. 

You might find that you hit half as many balls this way, but the shots you do hit will be well thought out, quality golf shots.  Remember it's not the amount of time you practice, but rather the quality of your practice that counts.  As always, good luck!

Cart Path Only

It's everyone's least favorite phrase, "today we are cart path only". 
Do you really know the meaning behind why it is necessary sometimes for our maintenance crew to restrict the carts to the path? Check out this great article that truly explains the meaning behind cart path only...

"There are no words to express how amazing our wedding partty was at SilverHorn Golf Club, WE LOVED IT!! Jonathan is a great person, very easy to work with and he helps you as much as possible. I went and talked with so many different people in different places and nobody was nicer than Jon-NOBODY!

I have no doubt that many of my guests will call Jon to do there next event at this place. We had a great time and everyone loved it.

Honestly I will highly reccomend this place for your next big event!" -Paul & Jessica Hyde

"John and his staff provided outstanding service for our Christmas Party. The staff, decorations and food were excellent. We would definitely recommend SilverHorn to anyone wishing to host a party." -STG

"Our 45th High School Reunion was a HUGE success. We couldn't have askef for more NOR have recevied any better service/food/decorations than what was provided that night.

Jon L'Insalata was so easy to work with. He guided us in our food choices- from appetizers to main courses and everything in between! His staff was so helpful with decorating the room with tiny white lights- whatever help we needeed- they were there and did it with a smile on their faces.

Many compliments were given to us by our classmates- and we'd like to thank Jon and staff for their unselfish attitude in making our evening so wonderful.

We are seriously considering having our 50th reunion back at SilverHorn!" -Michelle Bibb

"Our company liked the event so much we are booking for next year." -Kym Livingston

"We enjoyed everything about SilverHorn Golf Club. Jon was always accomidating. He took over when the funnel cake vendor left. Jon and his staff helped the event run smoothly. I would use SilverHorn Golf Club again" - Cindy Berman

"Jon and his staff were extremely helpful pre-party, during party and post party. We acquired the location days before our event and the staff was great with the spur of the moment items and request. We really appreciate their patience and response.

Again we can not thank Jon and his staff enough for all their assistance to make our victory party great and without incident. We hope we can host future events at your location" -Ana Peters
