This week, Golfweek’s fitness guru and long driver Averee Dovsek and Kent St. Charles from Lab 18 demonstrate how creating lag does not come from throwing the club over the top, but the angle of the club shaft and lead arm can create it.

Mayakoba’s El Camaleon will host LIV Golf in 2024 with these changes to the clubhouse and course

The course is famous for its picturesque setting along the Riviera Maya.

El Camaleon was the home to the first PGA Tour event in Latin America, and in 2024, LIV Golf will host its event at the Greg Norman-designed course for a second time.

The course is undergoing a renovation in preparation for the February 2024 event. The clubhouse, restaurants and a few of the holes have seen some major changes. El Camaleon opened in 2006, and these renovations are the first of its kind to improve the overall experience for the spectators, players and guests of the Mayakoba resort.

The clubhouse renovated the entry, locker rooms, pro shop and gathering place. The Koba Club House restaurant has taken on a brand new menu to accompany the new design.

The course, famous for its picturesque setting along the Riviera Maya, enlisted architects to make strategic changes to many of the holes. Some have enlarged tee boxes and there is changed elevation to fairways, greens and bunkers. The fourth hole, in particular, is getting a new island green, and No. 8 is getting new changes to the size and slope of its green.

These improvements come while maintaining the unique charm of El Camaleon. The redesign aims to strike a balance between preserving the course’s natural beauty and introducing new elements to push professional competition and amateurs in 2024.

Golfweek’s Averee Dovsek stopped by and took a closer look at the renovations.

There are four resorts that make up Mayakoba: Andaz, Banyan Tree, Fairmont and Rosewood. Upon arrival, guests are greeted with traditional juices, small gifts and accompanied by an inviting staff. The check-in experience is peaceful and no detail gets left behind.

Between beautifully designed villas and the ambiance of each resort, the 595-acre property is a dream. The transportation system makes it convenient to get to the beaches, rivers, restaurants, shops, cooking classes, golf course, kayaking adventures and more. You can travel around the resort by bike, boats or golf carts.

Each restaurant at the property has a unique concept and taste, serving fresh seafood to Thai food with a tasteful design. The dining experience can accommodate dietary restrictions and flavor preferences.

Mayakoba is immersed in the Mayan ecosystem, surrounded by the river, trees, birds and even spider monkeys, which will gladly greet you at the sight of an apple at your doorstep.

Golf instruction: Don’t let ‘turn from the top’ kill your swing

These are words that professionals have been saying for years, but to the amateur golfer it creates an improper move where the golfer is inclined to come across the ball at impact.

This week, Golfweek’s fitness guru and long driver Averee Dovsek and Kent St. Charles from Lab 18 demonstrate how to properly initiate the downswing without turning from the top, but instead using a subtle weight shift.
