Sacrifice vs commitment
Spend as much time preparing to sacrifice the old as you are committing to learning the new and you will find success comes much quicker than you ever thought possible.

A different perspective
In the never-ending pursuit of great golf scores, players often need to change their line of thinking as much as they do their swing mechanics.
-
Swinging in the rain
Considering how the weather has panned out the past two months, odds are you will end up playing golf in the rain at some point in time this season.

Assess your clubs

Keep it fun in the sun
A golfer can spend their entire day trying to avoid hazards; however the single biggest hazard of all is one that nobody is truly able to escape from.

Reading greens

Getting on the right track
A technically sound golf swing and a solid game plan will both go to waste if your body and clubface are not aiming appropriately when you start your swing.

Beat the heat
Time and technology have changed the game and a completely new section of golf clubs have hit the market. Like it or not, they appear to be here to stay, so what exactly are they, and what do they offer you?

Setting a plan in place
Using your time wisely is not solely weather dependent. Consider using some of your down time to create a personal golf journal.
-
Pain, no gain
Golf is not what you would consider to be a high impact sport like soccer, football, hockey or lacrosse, however it does not mean injuries aren’t present. I see numerous golf injuries each year, many of which may have been prevented with proper warm-up and stretching.

Selecting your golf ball
Does playing the same golf ball as Tiger Woods mean an improved golf game? Through the power and appeal of marketing, every manufacturer today would like you to believe that if their product is good enough for the best players in the world, it surely must be good enough for you.

Swing into fall
