October 29 Grand Lake Golf Report
FALL Golf
The following are some Fall golf tips that you might want to consider as you brush up on your golf game during the colder weather.
LAYER CLOTHING
The Fall brings a variety of weather conditions that can change unexpectedly. The best solution for this time of year is to layer your clothing. We still see plenty of warm afternoons, so shorts and t-shirts might be a great option, but bring a light-weight jacket and some long pants, just in case.
PLAY SHORTER GAMES MORE OFTEN
With the daylight hours decreasing, it limits the hours you can play. Perhaps playing 9 holes a couple of days a week makes more sense and you’ll still get the practice time.
TRY SHOTS YOU NORMALLY DON’T TAKE
Try those shots you’ve dreamed of taking, practice with new clubs and try new brands of balls. This is a perfect time to experiment with new gear, new techniques and pick up skills you’ve been afraid to try.
DON’T FORGET TO WARM-UP AND STRETCH
The beginner
A retiree was given a set of golf clubs by his co-workers. Thinking he'd try the game, he asked the local pro for lessons, explaining that he knew nothing whatever of the game.
The pro showed him the stance and swing, and then said, "Just hit the ball toward the flag on the first green."
The novice teed up and smacked the ball straight down the fairway and onto the green, where it stopped inches from the hole.
Now what?" the fellow asked the speechless pro.
Uh... you're supposed to hit the ball into the cup. the pro finally said, after he was able to speak again.
NOW you tell me." said the beginner in a disgusted tone.

Golf Quote
“If you worry about making bogeys, it makes the game that much more difficult. You put more pressure on yourself without even noticing it. It makes a difference to take it easy when things aren’t going right.” -Sergio Garcia
