To begin this episode of CNTV News, Brad and Quin visit WinStar Golf Club & Academy in Thackerville, OK. While the courses are closed for renovations, the academy remains open for youth summer camps, clinics for tribal elders and private lessons for anyone looking to improve their game.

Next in the episode, Brad and Quin meet golf instructor Tim Kunkle and learn how to boost their swings. "I think of the golf swing as like our fingerprint: no two are alike and that's really like golf swings," says Tim. Tim's teaching style is hands-on and effective. Using high-tech tracking and radar equipment, Tim homes in on the details of each swing and suggests improvements tailored to the individual student. "It's club fitting, it's instruction, it's making the game more fun. That's what I get to go do every day and I'm blessed and I love it," says Tim. Schedule your own customized lessons at WinStar Golf Academy by calling (580) 276-4229.
