As 2018 comes to a close, here is one more Sunday Morning Short Game to close out the year.

First on the tee from the Mistwood Golf Dome in Bolingbrook, was the great live segment done on ABC 7 yesterday morning with Director of Golf Andy Mickelson. If you missed it, it can be seen on line or through Channel 7’s website.

It was amazing how on a cold morning with some slick roads that created a bunch of cars in the ditches, how many people were at the Mistwood Golf Dome at 9:20 in the morning. By 10:30 the place was packed and all the hitting bays were full of golfers. Hopefully a few of them got lessons or ordered new clubs. Both are a great idea this time of year.
