2014, Wow! Very hard to believe that we are about to start the 2014 golf

season. It seems like only yesterday the world was anxiously awaiting the

Y 2 K computer disaster which was supposed to accompany the turn of the

century. Somehow we survived this non event and time marched on. In a few

days/weeks we will begin another great year of golf at Ballston Spa Country

Club.

As I write this article, the course is still covered in ice and snow, despite the

IDFW�WKDW�LW�LV�WKH�ÀUVW�GD\�RI�VSULQJ��:H�DOO�KRSH�WKDW�0RWKHU�1DWXUH�KDV�EHHQ�kind to the greens and fairways, after a most miserable winter. I have been

warming up my slice and three putts in Florida so I can begin the new season

right where I ended it in 2013.

Once we open, you will see a number of improvements since last

you played the course. All of which I believe will add to your enjoyment in

playing. All the Board members have been working very hard in their area of

UHVSRQVLELOLW\�LQ�WKLV�JROÀQJ�RII�VHDVRQ���&KDQJHV�KDYH�EHHQ�PDGH�WR�WKH�JROI�course itself, the restaurant will be under new management, all to create the

PRVW�RI�SHRSOHV�JDPHV���2QH�TXLFN�QRWH�WR�VWDUW�RXW�WKH�VHDVRQ�WKH�FRUUHFW�ZD\�would be to “practice with a purpose”. I see many players practice on the range

trying to have the white round ball go as straight and as far as they possibly

can hit it. One thing I would recommend players try is to hit each practice

shot with a purpose which means to line up the shot, check your posture,

EDODQFH��JULS��DQG�EDOO�SRVLWLRQ�EHIRUH�WKH�VZLQJ�LV�DFWXDOO\�VWDUWHG���7KLV�LV�D�very important aspect to the game as now players will be practicing the same

happens to come about so it allows the player to hit the shot with success. If

the same routine is repeated time and time again, then it begins to become a

habit. If the shot doesn’t happen, then that is when it is time to see me. Your
