Drew’s Tip of the Month 

Are you "Ready" or are you "Prepared"?

How many times have you rushed to get to the course, run to the first tee, and hit your opening tee shot without warming up? You feel tight.  You have trouble with the first few holes or maybe the entire front nine and your scores reflect your readiness, and subsequent mood. I would venture to say the majority of the golfers that play at The Links or anywhere else fall into that category.  They might be ready to play, but they are not prepared to play.

Today’s PGA Tour players will arrive at the course at least two hours before their scheduled tee time.  They go through their exercise program and practice their routine to put their mind and body into playing shape. They are prepared for battle. It is their business.

Taking it a step further, golfing great Walter Hagen would always start his morning slowly.  He would get out of bed slowly, eat slowly, shave slowly, get dressed slowly, and drive slowly to the golf course.  He never wanted to feel rushed.  Now, I am not advocating slow play on the golf course, but when it is your turn to tee it up, your best results will come when you are prepared both mentally and physically. Otherwise, accept what the golf course gives you and just be happywith the results. Keep Swinging.
