News from the Niners
by Beverly Browne, Publicity
The nine-hole golfers are playing the occasional game,
weather permitting. They hope it will keep them in shape
for spring when next year’s events begin. Check the Pro
Shop for available times and call your friends. The good
news is that, given frost delays, your game will not start
all that early in the morning.
Other useful tasks for the winter include going through
your golf bag. Polish your clubs and get rid of most of
the 50 balls you rescued from the weeds last year. Save
them if you want but not in the bag. This doesn’t usually
improve your score but it will be easier on your back
because the bag will be lighter. Check your equipment
for things you need and put them on your Christmas list.
The list can then be left in a place where it is sure to be
noticed by Santa Claus (a.k.a. spouse or significant other).
Next, sort through the hats and other golf gear, tossing the
ones that have seen better days. Put replacements on the
Christmas list.
Practice your putting. Set up a putting challenge in the
hallway or living room. (Your family may complain but
ignore that.) Spend an hour or so on the Golf Course
putting green. Do some chipping in the chipping area.
Practice your swing once in a while.
Put yourself on a schedule of exercise, emphasizing those
that benefit the game. Appropriate ones can be found by
reviewing that pile of golf magazines that has largely
gone unread. Or you can go on the Internet. You can find
anything there. Walk. Do yoga. Lift weights at home or
at the gym. As Gary Player said, “If there is a fountain of
youth, it has to be exercise.” By the time spring comes
you will be so fit that you will strike fear into the hearts
of other, less dedicated golfers. And, if the Christmas list
worked, you will have new togs too.
