Eatonton, GA – April 26th 2010 – Cuscowilla on Lake Oconee announces today the opening of their new Golf Training Center and Club Lounge, much to the joy of all their property owners, members and resort guests.
The 2,200 square foot building is located on the back of the driving range and hosts 6 open hitting bays for year round all weather golf practice, as well as an indoor teaching area complete with state of the art cameras and computer software programs for swing analysis and a Club Lounge with guests’ amenities and an open stone fireplace.
Cuscowilla’s CEO, Andrew Ward told us that “we are very proud of our latest addition to our golf community. We have taken all of the elements already used in our Golf Club House building and charming Golf and Lake Cottages to ensure this facility blends in with the natural surroundings of Cuscowilla. Andy Craine our in-house Landscape designer with his team have completed a great landscape installation to ensure, especially once fully established, that this building stands the test of time and looks like it has been there for many years. We are very excited to have Lynn Blake, from Lynn Blake Golf join our Teaching Center, who along with Jarrod Clark and his Assistant Pro’s now have a year round facility to share their knowledge and skills with all of our golfers to assist them in mastering their game”.
Cuscowilla’s Head Golf Professional Jarrod Clark explains, “This is an exciting time for Cuscowilla, our members, and guests. This is an amenity that I always felt we were lacking, compared to other great golf facilities around the world. Those days are over now! We now have state-of-the-art video swing analysis, and the ability to teach in adverse weather and year round.”
Along with Cuscowilla’s Head Pro, and the rest of his Golf Team, Lynn Blake will be teaching at the new learning center. Having taught more than a dozen PGA Tour players, Blake is an experienced teacher in the sport of golf and he looks forward to joining the Cuscowilla Golf Team to help Cuscowilla property owners, members and resort guests perfect the game of golf.
Lynn explained “from the beginning, we had a dream: To create a world-class teaching facility staffed by world-class instructors on a world-class golf course. I am excited, humbled and challenged by our mission and can hardly wait to welcome each of you to our new learning center and onto the cutting edge of golf instruction”. Blake went on to explain that “My system – and it is a system, not a method -- is unique because it is based on alignments, not positions. Those alignments are based on geometrical relationships and the laws of force and motion, not on ‘expert’ opinion. They are also simple and easy to see and learn. The problem with Position Golf – as opposed to Alignment Golf -- is that it is possible to execute a prescribed position perfectly, yet still miss the ball. Each of the Three Zones – body, arms and hands – have definite assignments and alignments to execute. The end result of our training is a coordinated and aligned golf stroke that the ball respects. For our students, that means improved ball striking, lower scores and more enjoyment of the game”.
A Community Club Lounge was also added to the building. It features an area for socializing, including a large stone fireplace and seating area with wooden floors. The room was designed for cigar smoking and card playing, with added ventilation, and also as a quiet room for property owners to enjoy a sports event or simply to read a favorite book. The building was designed and built by Pilot Home Builders of Lake Oconee.
Ward was also very complementary about Pilot Home Builders stating “it’s great to do projects with partners and companies you trust and respect. Doug and Michelle Tumlin along with their superb staff did an awesome job for us on our Teaching Center”.
“It was a real honor to be asked to help design and build this new addition to Cuscowilla, which is a community where Pilot Builders has built many custom homes”. stated Doug Tumlin, Partner of the local Home Builder. He went on to explain that “Our own in-house designer, Ali Crumb, worked meticulously with the Cuscowilla Management Team to bring this design together, and our construction team opened the complex on time and on budget!”.
