Experience their outstanding signature 14th hole, requiring a dramatic 220-yard carry over "Hells Gate Gorge," which is carved from the rugged mountainside by rushing water some 200 feet below.

Utilize their 16-acre practice facility to improve your game or the art indoor performance simulator for lessons or certified club fittings.

LIV Continues to Make News

When it comes to the LIV Golf Invitational Series, Talor Gooch can't stop putting his foot in his mouth. Adam Woodard, writing for USA Today said, "After shooting a 2-under 70 in the final round of this week's event near Portland at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club, Gooch was asked if he felt the energy of the fans, who were stuck in traffic for hours trying to get to the parking lot from the highway, and the 30-year-old gave an answer that sent golf Twitter into a frenzy, ‘I haven't played a Ryder Cup or a Presidents Cup, but can't imagine there’s a whole hell of a lot of a difference,’ said Gooch. ‘This was as cool as it gets. We've been talking about it all week. The energy is different. It's awesome.’”

After the tour announced its "significant changes to the schedule last week, Gooch, who currently ranks 38th in the world and hasn't been higher than 31st, took some of the credit on Twitter.

What will he say next? Tune in later this month when LIV hosts its third event at Trump National Golf Club, Bedminster.

Golf Tip by Robert Menges

We all have different ways of doing things on the golf course, which is why one strategy might work for one person but not another.

For example, some of us will visualize the shot we want to hit in our mind, because it helps to execute the shot. For others, they have to experience the shot.

It never hurts to try something new.

You can create to help build your confidence.

After each round of golf, take 60 seconds to sit quietly and replay the three best shots of the round. Visualize them in slow motion and lock every detail into your memory. They'll come back to cheer you on in the future.

Tell someone about your best shot but never talk about the poor shots. Professionals can usually remember every shot during a tournament, but there is one shot they "just don't recall” because it's their worst shot. Let the bad shots go and never ever talk about them.

Breathe before a shot or putt, remember to breathe deeply and softly. It will relax your body and allow you to focus on the task at hand.

Make it a part of your pre-shot routine to consciously expect a great shot.
