GOLF TIP OF THE WEEK –Short Game, Short Game, Short Game!
With over 60% of your strokes coming from inside of 100 yards, it is essential that you spend a proportionate amount of time on your short game as you practice. You should devote most of your short game practice to putting and chipping. These two shots make up the majority of your short game strokes.

GOLF JOKE OF THE WEEK
During my physical, my doctor asked me about my daily activity level, and so I described a typical day this way:
"Well, yesterday afternoon, I waded along the edge of a lake, drank eight beers, escaped from wild dogs in the heavy brush, marched up and down several rocky hills, stood in a patch of poison ivy and jumped away from an aggressive rattlesnake. Inspired by the story, the doctor said, "You must be one great outdoorsman!"
"No," I replied, "I'm just a lousy golfer."
