Bay Club Head Professional, Greg Yeomans recently shot 1 over to capture the Cape Cod Pro Am held at the Golf Club of Cape Cod in East Falmouth, MA.  Yeomans teamed up with bay Club members Ron Dias, John O’Connor and Dick Reilly finishing 13 under par to place 2nd in the Best Ball of the Foursome Net event.

The Cape Cod Chapter of the New England PGA holds a combination of Pro Am, Pro Junior and professional only tournaments from late April into early November.  This past week the Bay Club at Mattapoisett hosted a Pro – 3 Amateur with twenty-four teams competing from the South Coast area including several courses from the Cape.  Last year, Bay Club at Mattapoisett Head Professional, Greg Yeomans captured the title of 2009 Cape Cod Player of the Year.

Yeomans was recently profiled in an article in the New Bedford Standard Times talking about the Cape Cod Chapter of the New England PGA.  He is quoted as saying:

“It’s fun to be able to play in a competitive environment against some great players and bring some members along,” said the head pro at The Bay Club in Mattapoisett. “I work with a lot of our members and it gives me a measuring stick to see how I’m doing with my students. I also like to see how they respond to playing in a tournament.”

Yeoman’s foursome fared well on their home course finishing in a tie for 7^th place. Fellow Bay Club professionals, Tracy Djerf and Ryan Payne also participated with each of their teams also sharing in 7^th place.  In the individual professional competition, Yeomans finished tied for 3^rd at even par with Djerf finishing at plus one. The event was shortened to 13 holes due to lightning and darkness.  Tom Tobey from Bay Pointe earned medalist honors at 2 under par through 13 holes.

The Bay Club at Mattapoisett has opened its Winter Golf Center.  This indoor practice facility allows members to continue to improve upon their games during the off season.

Of course this facility is valuable to all Bay Club golfers, but especially fun for the techno geek hidden in most of us!  The P3Pro Swing Desktop Simulator measures swing speed, ball speed, face angle at impact, club path and angle of attack.  Now I am not quite sure what I will do with all of that information, but I can continue to work on my game in one of the three independent hitting stations which are 25 feet away from the wall, a 40 x 20 putting carpet and multiple swing training aids.  There is even a complete set up of SNAG Golf for junior use.

For those of us who just can’t get enough golf, this is a perfect playland for a cold winters day.

Head Golf Professional Greg Yeomans

Head Bay Club Golf Professional Greg Yeomans currently sits in 1st place in the year long Cape Cod PGA Wessner Player of the Year race.  He is leading the way, ahead of Rochester Golf Club’s Head Professional Rusty Gunnarson, by 23 points with only three events remaining.  Points are earned for performances in all chapter events, including Pro-Ams.  All of the major events have been completed, just a few Pro-Am events remain.  Check the website to track his performance.  We wish Greg the best of luck down the stretch.

This past July the Bay Club at Mattapoisett completed a 1 ¼ acre Short Game Practice Area.  Watching the  Booth and Faxon designed course mature over the past five years has given Head Golf Professional Greg Yeomans a strong understanding of the course’s particular challenges and it’s impact on the players games.  With this knowledge, Yeomans and a group of Bay Club members approached Faxon and Booth to create a short game practice area that addressed the Bay Club’s specific needs.  The vision became a 7000 square foot practice area with a two tiered green, three practice bunkers, 70 yards of fairway along with ample rough grasses so players can practice every conceivable shot.

“Players will lower their handicap without ever having to make another full swing on the range by only utilizing this area,” says Yeomans.  “A player can now practice a 70 yard pitch shot, a greenside bunker shot, a chip shot, a flop shot and their putting all in one session and all from a variety of locations.  It has made short game lessons much more productive, as we can truly replicate any situation a player may face on the course.”

Club member Jeannie Smith recently stated, “The new short game practice facility has made a terrific difference in my confidence as I approach the green. Within a small amount of time it allows me to practice a seemingly infinite variety of shots.  I am certain that soon the time I spend practicing at this new location will show up in my handicap!”

The new short game practice area is the latest upgrade to the Bay Club’s golf facility with its 18 hole championship course, driving range, practice putting green, and indoor practice area.
