Golf Tips from a Pro: Get a lesson

Now is the time to take a lesson.
Every year we start another golf season here in Big Sky, I think about setting goals to improve my game. These goals vary each year. They range from becoming a better putter, driving the ball straighter, improving my short game (chipping and pitching) or just simply recording lower scores.
Most of the time I can’t achieve these goals on my own. I employ the help of my assistant professional Tom Conway, or sometimes just the eyes of someone I am playing with to tell me if what I feel is actually what I am doing. Pros need pros too, and so do you. Bottom line, if you are excited about another summer of golf and want to get better you should take a lesson or lessons now so you have some direction going forward. That is where we come in.
We have two teaching professionals here at Big Sky Golf Course: Mark Wehrman, PGA Head Professional, and Tom Conway, Assistant Professional. Tom and I offer private lessons, group clinics, multi-day junior camps, junior golf instruction for Camp Big Sky and on-course playing lessons. Private lessons can last anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour.
On Tuesdays, we offer ladies clinics at 10:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. There is no advanced sign-up necessary. Just show up and check in at the pro shop. We also offer a clinic on Saturday that is open to all—men, women and juniors. Both of the clinics feature a game improvement schedule with skill-building exercises in areas like basic setup fundamentals, full swing, putting, chipping, pitching, bunker play and trouble shots. We also offer a series of three or six private lessons where we will build a practice/training schedule for you that will encompass all areas of the golf game.
Golf should be fun and from my personal experience, the better I play the more fun I have. I’m not saying that golf isn’t fun if you are not a good player because no one should keep score if they don’t want to. But if you do enjoy golf and want to improve, taking a lesson from a PGA Professional is the fastest way to reach your goals!
Mark Wehrman is the Head Golf Professional at the Big Sky Resort Golf Course and has been awarded the PGA Horton Smith Award recognizing PGA Professionals who are model educators of PGA Golf Professionals.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
