Back-to-back.

For the second consecutive year, an ELV8 Golf member has captured the Member/Member Championship at Lake Forest Country Club. This year, congratulations go to Mark Howard and his partner Jerry Harris on bringing home the title.

What makes this win impressive isn't just the result—it's how it happened.

Entering the final match, Mark and Jerry held only a one-point lead and momentum was beginning to shift. With everything on the line, Mark relied on the same preparation and process he trains every week.

The result?

✅ First 7 greens in regulation
✅ 1-under par through 8 holes
✅ Clinched the match and secured a spot in the playoff
✅ Finished with a 36 despite the match already being decided

Golf has a way of humbling everyone. Mark even noted that during the shootout he hit eight quality shots, yet luck still played a role—as it often does in this game.

But luck doesn't explain putting yourself in position year after year.

When pressure increases, preparation gets exposed. The ability to execute under stress is built long before tournament day through consistent training, physical preparation, and a commitment to improvement.

Congratulations to Mark Howard and Jerry Harris on an outstanding championship performance.

At ELV8 Golf, we're proud to help golfers build the physical foundation that allows their skill to show up when it matters most.

Most golfers obsess over reading the line…
But speed control is what equally determines whether putts drop. ⛳️

A perfect read with bad speed still misses.
A slightly misread putt with the right pace still has a chance.

If you want to lower scores FAST, improve your distance control.

One of the best drills for developing touch on the greens👇

The Reverse Speed Ladder Drill:

📍Set markers at:
3 ft
6 ft
9 ft
12 ft

Then putt in reverse order:
12 ➡️ 9 ➡️ 6 ➡️ 3

This forces golfers to constantly adjust feel, stroke length, and energy output while improving:

✅ Speed control
✅ Lag putting
✅ Touch & feel
✅ 3-putt avoidance
✅ Confidence under pressure

As you improve, move the markers farther away to increase difficulty and sharpen your distance awareness even more.

Want real improvement?
Hit 50 putts a day with intentional focus on pace control and watch your putting transform.

The best putters in the world don’t just start the ball on line…
They control SPEED better than everyone else.

When it’s breezy swing easy 💡

Wind exposes everything in golf. Tempo. Ball position. Club selection. Decision making.

A few keys to playing better when the conditions get tough:

• Swing smoother, not harder
Trying to overpower the wind usually creates more spin and less control.

• Club up and flight it down
Take more club, shorten the finish, and focus on solid contact.

• Play the ball slightly back in your stance
Helps keep trajectory lower and reduces excessive spin.

• Focus on balance and tempo
Wind punishes players who lose posture or rush transition.

• Accept the conditions
The players who manage frustration usually score the best when the weather turns.

Great golf in the wind isn’t about hitting miracle shots. It’s about controlling what you can and staying disciplined shot after shot. ⛳️💨
