Golf Tip for the Month…

“Taking care of the course during the winter months”

How can you help keep the golf course playable during the winter months? Keeping carts on the paths within 50 yards of

the green or using green post as your guide. Filling in divots with sand and fixing ball marks. Avoid driving golf carts in wet and shady

areas (ex. Left of #3 green)

One of the major rea-sons for the grass to lay flat during the cooler months is due to cart tires rolling the blades of grass. This type of motion flattens the grass which makes the short game shots more difficult.

Patrick Richardson, PGA Head Golf Professional

Tis the season to be jolly…..and gain weight, too! Don’t let this happen to you… Start the holiday feasting by watching those portion sizes

and get moving! At least 20 minutes everyday and maybe the first thing on your New

Year’s Resolution List this year won’t be to lose those extra pounds!

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah and New Year!
