Golf Tip of the Week: Lake Shastina Golf Resort

Newswatch 12's cameron derby takes us to lake shastina golf resort--where you might run into some furry friends along the way.

çááápkgáááñ çáácameron lineááñ "hey there, the next golf card tour stop lands us in weed, california at lake shastina golf resort.

Now, i am standing here on hole 1's fairwar.

I am taking a look at this georgous view of mt.

Shasta.

It is really not a bad place to hit the links.

One of the unique things about this course in particular is mt.

Shasta is visible from 15 of the 18 holes.

Head pro kelly horen is standing over at hole 2.

I am going to join him so we can take a crack at the dog leg par-4."

çáákelly lineááñ "this is a great par-4.

It is a dog leg right.

It has a risk reward.

If you try to cut the corner you have just a little short wedge in.

You can lay it back, hit a lay up into the fairway and have a nine iron, or a full wedge, or an 8 iron in."

çáátopic lineááñ kelly's experience tells him that a 5-iron is going to be the best club for this one.

And he is right on the money because both of us land right down the fairway within striking distance.

çáákelly lineááñ "so we decided to take the iron shot off the tee today.

Its a little bit safer route.

So, it put us about a 140 yards out.

It gives us plenty enough to make it around the dog leg and have a nice shot to the green."

Today's tip.

Transfer your weight, unlike me, or this happens.

I still kept it straight, but didnt get near the distance i wanted.

Also keep in mind that you might run into some friends moving along this course.

So pay attention and share the course nicely.

Kelly is near the green on the third shot for a nice chip, and then he finishes off with a relaxed par.

It takes me a couple more shots,
