SBR golf pros, Mike Jahaske and Ken Steinke, joined the Ranchette Putters for an in-depth session of learning how to ‘read the green’.

While rotating around the putting area, Mike and Ken gave pointers to each team. Our pros described how they would line up a shot, look for breaks on the ground, judge the distance to the cup and check out the pitch around the hole. Each pro then took the first shot.

Putting after Mike or Ken proved to be very beneficial. Their tips enabled many ladies to sink the ball with one shot. In fact, every member of one team scored a hole in one after watching our pro.

Ranchette Putters thank Mike and Ken for their time, their advice and socializing with us after the event.
