Owner John Bauer has been coaching golf for 18 years. In that time, he has helped thousands of golfers play their best. John’s dream has always been to have his own practice facility – a place where all golfers can work on all aspects of their games. The Practice Station will offer a traditional driving range, but it will be so much more. It will be a facility that provides practice in real life situations, which will build confidence that will carry over to the course. The old “holes” will be divided into “stations”. These stations will be set up to simulate any situation that will be encountered during a round of golf. Better practice will result in better play!

In the beginning, family and friends that purchased the salsa, brought the first year totals to 1,000+ jars and it pushed their family to consider this as something that could be bigger than just a hobby.
