From the Lesson Tee
Much like New Year’s Day Resolutions, Golf goals for the upcoming
season are so often forgotten, neglected, or put aside until another day. We
would like to change this disturbing
trend, and think that we can inject your

want to be competitive, some seek
companionship, others look for exercise, while some just are seeking a

golfer must know their own needs
and desires for to get discouraged

be most disturbing.

The bottom line here is that while for
the professional who plays the game
for a living, score is everything; it is
how they are judged. However, for
the majority of the golfers, fun will
rarely be attained if score is your
main goal.

Rule of the Month
Lucky Lulu’s ball comes to a rest against a tree root. Risking an injury to her
wrist or damage to her club, she takes a stab at it anyway. It ricochets off the
root and lands 10 yards behind her. Should she have taken an unplayable??

Drop a ball within two club-lengths of the spot where the ball originally lay,
not nearer the hole. You have to accept a one –stroke penalty for each options, but you’ll improve your ball position and, more than likely , your eventual
score.
