The Cliffs at High Carolina features the first Tiger Woods course here in America. See how this golf community envelops health and wellness while still maintaining the natural beauty and preservation of the land. >> IF YOU COULD CHOOSE A PLACE TO LIVE IN A GOLF COMMUNITY, A PLACE TO BUILD YOUR DREAM HOUSE, WHAT WOULD IT BE LIKE? WOULD IT BE A PLACE WHERE YOU COULD PLAY ON A VARIETY OF GOLF COURSES, DESIGNED BY THE GAME’S VERY BEST? A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN HAVE A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND FORM YOUR FRIENDSHIPS? A PLACE WHERE WELLNESS AND HEALTHY LIVING ARE NOURISHED? IF SO, WE MAY HAVE THE PLACE FOR YOU. TODAY, I'M IN THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS AT THE CLIFFS, WHERE EIGHT LUXURY RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES SPAN NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA AND, EVEN THE GAME’S VERY BEST, TIGER WOODS, HAS DECIDED TO DESIGN HIS VERY FIRST AMERICAN COURSE, HERE. >> WE’RE IN NASHVILLE BECAUSE OF JIM. HIM HAS THIS AMAZING PIECE OF PROPERTY AND, HE HAS ALLOWED US TO COME IN AND TRY AND ENHANCE THIS WITH A GOLF COURSE. MOST OF THE GOLF COURSES THAT YOU PLAY, AROUND THE WORLD, DO UTILIZE CARTS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU NOTICE ABOUT HOW ALL THE OLDER GOLF COURSES ARE, CARTS AREN’T UTILIZED BECAUSE, THAT’S HOW THE GAME OF GOLF WAS STARTED. WE WANT TO BRING THAT BACK. BEING ABLE TO GO OUT THERE AND RAISE YOUR HEART RATE UP A LITTLE BIT BY WALKING. YOU DO BECOME MORE FIT, OVER TIME, AND I THINK THAT’S A PART OF LIFE AND THAT’S HOW YOU NEED TO LIVE LIFE. I WANT TO PROVIDE A FACILITY WHICH PEOPLE CAN ENJOY. ALSO, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I DON’T INTERRUPT AND DISTURB HOW THIS WHOLE REGION IS. THIS IS A WELLNESS AREA. THE CONSERVATION THAT JIM IS SO ADAMANT AND SO ARDENT ABOUT, THAT’S SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO ENHANCE AND MAKE SURE THAT THAT’S KEPT WELL IN TACT. >> I AM NOT A HIGH-QUALITY GOLFER BUT, I LOVE IT. I LOVE THE CAMARADERIE, I LOVE THE ABILITY TO BE OUTDOORS AND ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF THE GOLF COURSES, I LIKE THE VARIETY OF GOLF AND THE CHALLENGE OF GOLF. >> IT’S A COMBINATION OF HAVING THE ACCESS TO THE LAKE RIGHT IN YOUR BACKYARD AND, BEING ABLE TO GO TO THE GOLF COURSE, THAT AFTERNOON, AND GET IN 18 HOLES. IT SEEMED TO HAVE THE WHOLE PACKAGE, REALLY. >> ONE THING THAT STOOD OUT TO ME ABOUT THIS PLACE IS THE NATURALNESS OF THE LANDSCAPE, HOW EVERY BUILDING SEEMS TO BLEND IN. WAS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU WERE THINKING ABOUT DURING THE DEVELOPMENT? >> YOU PURCHASE A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF LAND AND WHAT HAPPENED WAS, THE FIRST THOUGHT WAS, LET’S DON’T DO ANYTHING TO DESTROY THE VALUE. SO WHAT WE TRIED TO DO WAS TO CREATE OUR AMENITIES AND OUR HOME SIZE TO WHERE IT’S ABOUT ACCESSING THE LAND, ENJOYING THE LAND. >> JIM, IT SEEMS LIKE WELLNESS IS A REALLY PREVALENT THING AT THE CLUB. WHAT, EXACTLY, DOES WELLNESS MEAN FOR YOU? >> WELLNESS, NOT ONLY FOR ME, BUT FOR ALL OF US, STARTS WITH WHAT WE WERE SAYING, HERE, THE PEACE AND TRANQUILITY OF THE MOUNTAINS AND THE LAKES. THAT FEELING OF, ALL IS WELL. THAT’S THE BEGINNING. THEN, IT BRANCHES OUT IN ALL DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. SOME OF US WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A BRISK WORKOUT, SOME, A WALK IN THE FOREST ALONG OUR TRAILS. >> I USE THE WELLNESS CENTER ON A VERY FREQUENT BASIS. I USE THE GYM OR THE WORKOUT ROOM. >> IT’S THE WHOLE CONCEPT ABOUT WELLNESS AND THE PRESERVATION WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT. >> WHAT IS THAT THE CLIFFS HAS THAT SETS IT APART FROM OTHER RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES? >> IT’S THE UNIQUE COMBINATION OF ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES. THEY ALL SUM UP TO ONE. BEING A PROPERTY OWNER AND CLUB MEMBER OF ONE, OPENS THE DOORS AND GAINS YOU ACCESS TO ALL. >> THAT’S ONE THING THAT I’VE NOTICED ABOUT THE CLIFFS. IT DOESN’T SEEM TO BE JUST ABOUT GOLF. THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO AND, ACTIVITIES THAT YOU CAN ENJOY. >> OUR GOAL HAS BEEN NOT TO BE ONE-DIMENSIONAL. FORTUNATELY, HERE WE OFFER A GREAT SETTING A BEAUTIFUL ATMOSPHERE FOR FAMILIES TO COME TOGETHER. ONE OF THE KEY COMPONENTS OF OUR COMMUNITIES IS THE GATHERING SPOTS FOR FAMILIES. >> I’VE HAD A CHANCE TO TALK TO A LOT OF MEMBERS AND, IT’S AMAZING HOW MUCH THEY JUST GUSH ABOUT THEIR OWNERSHIP EXPERIENCE. THEY REALLY CHERISH THIS PLACE. >> EACH ONE COMES FOR THEIR OWN REASON BUT, ONCE THEY’RE HERE THERE’S SOME GREAT COMMON OPPORTUNITIES WHEN THEY COME TOGETHER. THERE’S NO GREATER OPPORTUNITY THAN OUR CLIFFS RESIDENT OUTREACH PROGRAM. IT’S A CHANCE FOR OUR OWNERS TO COME TOGETHER AND DO SPECIAL THINGS IN THE COMMUNITY. >> WHAT IS THE BEST WAY FOR SOMEONE TO COME AND EXPERIENCE THE CLIFFS FOR THE FIRST TIME? >> LOOKING AT THE PICTURES ARE GREAT BUT, THERE’S NO BETTER WAY THAN EXPERIENCING IT IN PERSON. WE HAVE A GREAT DISCOVERY PROGRAM THAT WILL ALLOW SOMEONE TO COME IN FOR TWO OR THREE DAYS, SAMPLE THE COURSES IF THAT’S WHAT THEY NEED. BUT, AT THE SAME TIME, THEY GET A CHANCE TO ENJOY THE NATURAL BEAUTY AND ALL THE THINGS WE HAVE, HERE. >> IT LOOKS LIKE THE PAVILIONS IS FILLING UP FOR THE SUNSET SO WHAT DO YOU SAY, WE JOIN THEM? >> SOUNDS GREAT. >> BEHIND ME IS THE CURRENT GOLF MAGAZINE DREAM HOUSE AND, CONSIDERING IT’S LOCATION IN ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY IN AMERICA, YOU MIGHT WANT TO COME HERE ON A VISIT TO THE CLIFFS.

GOLF Magazine's Tom Stickney shows you how to fix your slice with a tip from Paul Segerlund from 1970. Make sure everything is parallel in alignment and then pre-cock your right hip backwards that allows the arms for an end to out swing path. >> OUR GOLF MAGAZINE’S BEST SLICE FIX TIP COMES FROM PAUL SEGLUND FROM 1970. WHAT PAUL WANTED YOU TO DO WAS MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING WAS PARALLEL, LIKE A TRAIN TRACK DEFINITION OF A LINEMAN. JUST LIKE WE NORMALLY DO. AND THEN, GENTLY PRECOCK THE RIGHT HIP BACKWARDS. WHAT THIS DOES IS, ALLOWS THE ARMS, HANDS AND THE CLUB TO HAVE A NATURAL PATH TO THE INSIDE. NOW, WHAT PAUL DID NOT WANT US TO DO IS PUT OURSELVES IN A CONDITION, PRECOCK THE RIGHT HIP AND THEN USE OUR ARMS TO PULL THE CLUB TO THE INSIDE. BY SITTING EVERYTHING HERE AND PRECOCKING THE RIGHT HIP BACKWARDS, YOU HAVE A SEGUE OR AN AVENUE FOR THE ARMS, HANDS AND CLUB TO MOVE TO THE INSIDE, PROMOTING AN IN-TO-OUT SWING PATH. WHAT MOST AMATEURS DO IS, THEY TEND TO LINE UP OPEN OR TO THE LEFT OF THEIR TARGET LINE. FROM THERE, THE CLUB TENDS TO CREATE AN OUT-TO-IN OR SLICE-TYPE-PRODUCING TYPE OF MOTION, WHICH ROBS OF US OF DISTANCE, POWER AND ACCURACY. SO LET’S REVIEW. WHAT WE’D LIKE TO DO, SET OUR BODY PARALLEL LEFT OF OUR TARGET. FROM THERE, WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS GENTLY PRECOCK THE RIGHT HIP BACKWARDS, ALLOWING OUR HANDS AND ARMS AND CLUB TO COME TO THE INSIDE. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, WE SHOULD COME FROM THE INSIDE TO PRODUCE A NICE LITTLE DRAW. LET’S SEE IF IT WORKS. THAT’S THE DRAW I'M LOOKING FOR.

Check out this putting tip from GOLF Magazine in 1986 with John Hall. Watch as Top 100 Teacher Tom Stickney demonstrates how to improve your putting consistency. By imagining the putter is split into 2 halves and leading every shot with the upper half, will eliminate the bounce and create smooth even putts every time. >> GOLF MAGAZINE’S BEST PUTTING TIP COMES FROM JOHN HALL IN 1986. WHAT MR. HALL WOULD LIKE US TO VISUALIZE IS THE PUTTER IS TWO HALVES. IT HAS THE UPPER HALF AND IT HAS THE LOWER HALF. WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO DO IS FEEL LIKE THE BALL IS IMPACTED BY THE UPPER HALF OF THE PUTTER, FIRST, AS OPPOSED TO THE LOWER HALF. WHAT MOST AMATEURS DO IS, THEY USE THEIR WRIST AND, WHEN YOU USE YOUR WRIST, THE BOTTOM PART OF THE PUTTER IMPACTS THE GOLF BALL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CLUB FACE LAYS BACK AND THE BALL IS LAUNCHED INTO THE AIR. IF YOU HIT THE GOLF BALL WITH THE TOP HALF OF THE PUTTER, THE PUTTER SHAFT TENDS TO LEAN FORWARD AND THE BALL TENDS TO COME OFF IN MORE A ROLLING TYPE OF FASHION. NOW, THIS IS NOT REALITY, THIS IS MORE OF A THOUGHT, AND IT IS MORE OF A FEEL. SO THE FEELING FOR YOU IS TO MAKE SURE THAT, IF THERE’S A RACE BETWEEN THE UPPER HALF AND THE LOWER HALF OF THE PUTTER, THE UPPER HALF ALWAYS WINS. ONE CAUTION. YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU TAKE THIS, LITERALLY, AND DON’T OVERCOOK IT. IF YOU LEAN THE PUTTER SHAFT TOO FORE AND YOU DRIVE THE PUTTER INTO THE GOLF BALL, YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE THE BALL START TO BOUNCE. SO ONCE AGAIN, JUST GENTLY COCK YOUR WRIST FORWARD AND LET THE UPPER HALF OF THE PUTTER LEAD THE RACE TO THE BALL. IF YOU DO SO, HOPEFULLY, WE'LL MAKE A LOT OF PUTTS. THAT’S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

Increase Power in your drive with this golf tip from GOLF Magazine's "Lighthorse" Harry Cooper in 1968. By making a level hip and shoulder turn at the top of your swing and eliminating it at the bottom you can ensure to get the most power out of your swing path. By making sure your hips bump into your forward foot and changing your center of gravity, this will cause the club to lag and create a whip-like motion. >> TODAY’S POWER TIP IN GOLF MAGAZINE COMES FROM LIGHT HORSE, HARRY COOPER, IN 1968. >> WHAT LIGHT HORSE WANTED US TO DO WAS TO MAKE A LEVEL HIP AND SHOULDER TURN IN ROUTE TO THE TOP BUT, THE MISTAKE THAT MOST AMATEURS MAKE IS, THEY MAKE THAT SAME LEVEL SHOULDER AND HIP TURN ON THE WAY DOWN. THAT PROMOTES AN OUT-TO-IN SWING PATH, THE CLUB FACE TENDS TO BACK UP AND HIGH POOF BALLS TEND TO OCCUR, WHICH MAXIMIZES A LOT OF BAD SHOTS. SO WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MAKE THAT SAME LEVEL SHOULDER AND HIP TURN TO THE TOP. FROM THERE, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR HIPS BUMP INTO RIGHT FIELD, MOVING OUR CENTER OF GRAVITY FROM OUR RIGHT HEEL INTO OUR LEFT TOE. AND, WHEN WE MAKE THIS MOTION, THE CLUB WILL LAG AND A WHIP-LIKE EFFECT WILL HAPPEN AND THE SHOULDER AND HIPS WILL TAKE OFF THROUGH IMPACT. THAT WILL GIVE YOU MAXIMUM DISTANCE. NOW, REMEMBER, LIGHT HORSE WAS TALKING ABOUT A SLIGHT BUMP. THERE’S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BUMP WHERE YOU FEEL GENTLE PRESSURE ON YOUR LEFT TOE AND A FULL-FLEDGE SLIDE WHERE YOU FEEL A BOWING OF THE LEFT KNEE AND WEIGHT GOING TO THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR LEFT FOOT. SO LET’S REVIEW. WHAT LIGHT HORSE WANTED US TO DO; SAME SHOULDER/HIP TURN TO THE TOP. FROM HERE, WE GENTLY BUMP OUR HIPS INTO RIGHT FIELD, ALLOWING THE CLUB TO DROP UNDER AND, FROM THERE YOU WILL MAXIMIZE SPEED AND POWER. IF WE DO IT CORRECTLY, IT SHOULD LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS. THAT IS J.B. HOLMES LONG, RIGHT THERE.
