Golf Tips

  • BY BILL CONNELLY, MANAGER OF GOLF OPERATIONS

Learning to play the game of golf can be quite intimidating. As a beginner there are many things that you must learn. On top of learning how to make a swing, you must learn about golf equipment, the golf course, and all of the rules that this wonderful game has.

You want to try and make learning the game as much fun as possible. Set goals for yourself, like not hitting in the sand, or trying to reduce the number of balls that you lose. The main goal is to relax and enjoy this great game.

As golfing great Arnold Palmer once said, “golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated. It satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time, rewarding and maddening, and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented.”

Be sure to sign up for the Masters Pic-a-Pro Golf Tournament on April 12, at 9 a.m. and the Superintendents Revenge Scramble on April 26, at 9 a.m. Also, remember the weekly 9-hole scramble every Tuesday at 3 p.m.
