A New Beginning

Posted in From The Editor by on April 6th, 2011

It is April once again which traditionally marks the beginning of the golf season in New England. While the snow is gone, playing golf in cool temperatures and seasonally damp weather in spring is all about staying warm and dry while being able to have freedom of motion. Restriction of movement by what we choose to wear can make any golf swing inconsistent.  Elle Brec tackles this issue in her Golf Fashion piece this month, be sure to have a look at all the latest trends in style, function and design for the game.  It’s Masters Week in golf and there is nothing like the smell of azaleas in Augusta in spring. There is no place in the world like Augusta National as the mystique and tradition of this great tournament kicks off the season’s first major. I for one would love to see Tiger find his heart once again and win at this great venue.

There is no secret that without a clear mind it is almost impossible to reach our potential. This is also true for Tiger; he is human like us all.  Each year we all promise ourselves that we are going to work to play better and improve. We set our goals in the early season and choose a path that may include new equipment, instruction and an assortment of game improvement shortcuts,my how golfers love shortcuts. In reality there are no shortcuts to golf or weight loss either for that matter. Golfing more does not make you a better golfer and eating more will never make you a better eater. They both require discipline and work and we get out what we put in.

April once again is our “Game Improvement Issue”, we have loaded it up with some of the best equipment, advice and professional tips the best in the game has to offer. In New England we are blessed with some of the very best PGA Professionals in the world who are available at both public and private facilities throughout the region. It is a great place to start your game improvement. Remember practice does not make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect! Good luck with your season and all the best.

"A New Beginning"

Posted in From The Editor by on April 6th, 2011

Each year most feel the golf season begins in April when the weather warms and the grass begins to green up for the season. It may be true for most but the real beginning of the season for thousands of golf professional is the PGA Show in Orlando every January.  The PGA Show is an expose of technology, style, fashion and innovation that each year offers us all new ways to look, feel and play the game of golf.  It is the stage where companies facilitate change at every level from the ball you play to the driver you use and even the colors you choose to wear.  

In New England we have seen an old fashion winter drop over 60 inches of snow at our doorsteps and the cold temperatures have kept courses covered since mid-December. It is now a time for preparation and education so we can improve. Golf, just like life, requires attention to detail and time to excel and improve. There are no short cuts or quick solutions that make the journey any shorter and the task any easier. We get out what we put in and luck is only where preparation meets opportunity.  If you step on the tee for your first round of the season what you will get is what you had last season with rust on it.

Like all great journeys in life golf too requires a plan to get from one level to the next. Knowing that, it is critical to find out where we are first, so we may choose the correct path. Your local golf professional is a great place to begin; he is trained to see first where you are, then make recommendations. Let’s face it, you would never fix a gas leak in your home thinking you may blow the house up. So the same may be true with your scorecard, get the right help for the right job and play better golf this year. At $50.00 a dozen for golf balls I am pretty sure there is value here in the investment, not to mention that accidental broken shaft that just seemed to snap!

 

Play well, work hard, live strong and enjoy, All the Best!
