This may be the ”new look” … then again … maybe not …

Harding Park Golf Course is located less than one mile from the Pacific Ocean, near scenic Skyline Boulevard and the renowned San Francisco Zoo. Originally designed by Willie Watson in 1925, the majestic, tree-lined layout has played host to many prestigious golf events.
A major renovation and restoration of this historic golf course began in the spring of 2002. The 15 month long project expanded the course from 6,743 to 7,200 yards along with major upgrades to the driving range and clubhouse, bringing them up to PGA Tour standards.

“Watching the ball until it comes to rest is a great learning experience, but too few amateurs take the time to do it. Be patient”
Short chips and 4-foot putts tend to be difficult for golfers because of the perceived severity of the consequences of a miss. Golfers tell themselves, I shouldn’t miss a 4-footer; I should get my chips and pitches really close. When that doesn’t happen, they beat themselves up, adding to the struggles.
I want you to become a patient chipper. You can do this by chipping and counting.
Hit a chip shot, and as the ball travels toward its final destination, I want you to count how many seconds it takes the ball to come to rest. This will bring you to the realization that you can’t get an immediate result.
When I see people chop and stab at their chip shots, they’re trying for the immediate result — the ball close to the hole, right now.
Chip the best you can, then stand there patiently counting as the ball rolls, rolls, rolls and comes to a stop. Take that time as an opportunity to learn.
