Oso Beach Municipal Golf Course | Corpus Christi, TX

Maneuvering The Golf Ball

On dogleg holes, the proper maneuvering of the golf ball can shorten the holes' length. On approach shots, maneuvering the ball can give you better angles to approach the pin, thus increasing your percentages of success. In addition, when you get into trouble, you will have a the 'maneuver ability' and confidence to escape.

The best way to intentionally curve the ball is to set your feet, hips and shoulders along the path on which you want the ball to start out and aim the club face where you want the ball to finish, then swing normally. Keep in mind that a right to left shot flies lower and will run farther. Conversely, a left to right shot flies higher, lands softer and stops faster.

The maneuvering of the golf ball is something you should work on in every practice session. When you can maneuver the ball intentionally and control the amount of curvature you will be on your way to being in complete control of your game. You will then be a confident shot maker.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

Our series of classes will guide you through a natural progression of learning the different swings, strokes, and shots. You will start with the basics of putting, move on to chipping, and use those skills to develop your full swing. Once you have mastered your swing mechanics, our team will walk you through the process of picking which clubs are best for each shot. This of course will include the breakdown of the different irons, wedges, and woods at your disposal. Believe us, successfully hitting a tee shot long and straight takes practice, but with a well taught fundamental swing from earlier classes, you’ll be mastering that swing in no time!

JUDGEMENT FREE!

We pride ourselves on making sure that we foster a judgement-free zone during all our sessions, and we will prove that it’s never too late to learn to play golf. Once you graduate from learn to play golf, we are confident that you’ll be good enough and comfortable enough to make the golf course a place to look forward to. These classes are designed to be fun and offer a step-by-step approach to playing golf for the first time.

Book A Tee Time

The Oso Beach Golf & Country Club opened in 1939 with an 18-hole John Bredemus design along the Cayo de Oso watershed. The course opened to the public in 1946, and the Corpus Christi Golf Association promoted the facility with its "World Championship Four-Ball Match" featuring the golf dream team of Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Sam Snead, and Jimmy Demaret.

The course plays out over flat terrain, but the fairways are lined by trees and bunkers impact play throughout. Water is the main issue on the back, coming into play much more than on the front. The toughest hole is the 180-yard par 3 No. 13. Playing directly into the prevailing south wind, the tee shot over water can be intimidating.
