A MESSAGE TO THE GOLFERS.......

Lee Wilson, PGA - Director of Golf - Plantation Golf Club

Getting Better…

Progress in golf comes in peaks and valleys. One day you’ll peak and shoot a “career round. The next day, or the day after, you’ll play about as dismal a round as you could ever imagine. That’s why the Scottish philosopher described it as an “umblin” game. The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat go hand in hand… and that’s what makes golf the exasperating and fascinating game that it is.

Since it seems we have more bad days, than good, it’s best to remember what I said about peaks and valleys. Just continue to work on fundamentals and your stroke-saving shots and in time, you will come gradually to recognize that your peaks are getting higher and more frequent and your valleys are beginning to fill in.

 

Do you need help?

If you play poorly one day forget it.

If you play poorly the next time out, review your fundamentals of grip, stance, aim and ball position. Most mistakes are made before the club is swung.

If you play poorly for a third time in a row, go see your professional. 

Thanks to: Harvey Penick ~ Harvey Penick’s LITTLE RED BOOK

 Just a reminder –

1. Drink plenty of liquids – water, Gatorade

2. Stay away from alcoholic beverages in the heat of the day.

3. Watch the storms – lightning is deadly – a rain check is better than taking a chance with Mother Nature.

GOLF COURSE CARE

The Plantation Residents Golf Club (PRGC) believes that all members and guests of The Plantation at Leesburg golf courses have a responsibility to maintain our golf courses in such a condition so that all golfers will enjoy them and be proud of them.

DIVOTS: Sand all divots on the fairways, tees and in the rough.

BALLMARKS: Fix all ball marks on the greens.

PINS: When removing the pin from the cup, gently lay the pin on the green. Pins that are thrown or dropped can damage the green surface.

SAND TRAPS: Rake all sand traps after using. Place the rakes in the trap.

CUPS: Never remove the ball with a putter head. Be very careful with suction cup style. 

TEES: Use Tee container Boxes for all broken and non-broken tees, Tees cause major damage to the grass mowers.

CARTS: Follow all cart signs, honor all roped off areas and when entering and exiting cart paths drive on the least worn area. Enter or exit to one side or the other before the end of the path to spread out Traffic. Drive the Fairways when Over Seeding is established, Riding in the Rough is detrimental to it at this time.

CART PATHS: Drive and park with all four wheels on the concrete. Honor CART PATH ONLY on Otter Creek holes 10 through 15.

WET SPOTS: Always drive around wet spots. Be on the lookout after rain.

CIGARETTE BUTTS: Use a Personal Ashtray instead of the golf course for your butts.

HANDICAP PRIVILEGES: Honor handicap privilege rules. Report infractions to the Pro Shop.

READY GOLF: Play ready golf. Be ready to hit when it is your turn. No Hawking Golf Balls.

CONDITIONS: Leave the golf course in better shape than you found it. Fill an extra divot, and repair an extra ball mark, report hazardous conditions to the Pro Shop.

Most of all ENJOY your golfing experience at The Plantation Residents Golf Club and Members, remember to Post all your Scores.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

The PRGC

A MESSAGE TO THE GOLFERS.......

 

HOW TO THINK ON THE LINKS…    

Lee Wilson, PGA Director of Golf/The Plantation Golf Club

Don’t hover over your ball – Its not going to hatch?

Here are some key concepts in forming a helpful mental attitude towards golf: Confidence, Concentration and Relaxation.

CONFIDENCE: The champions seem to glow with it, and it helps to make them what they are. But, it’s no less important for the amateur. While confidence may not guarantee that every shot will be your best, without question, a lack of it will undermine your best efforts. Think your best, and more often than not, you’ll end up doing it.

CONCENTRATION: One of the most fascinating aspects of the game is that from day to day, and from shot to shot it’s never the same. Changes in the weather and wind direction, not to mention, changes in your position on the course, make each shot different. To do your best, you must focus not only on the mechanics of your swing, but also take in the variables of your surroundings.

RELAXATION: By this is meant the ability to remove tension from your body and mind. As you progress in techniques of hitting a golf ball, you will learn which muscles to tense and to what degree. What you want to avoid is unnecessary tension, either physical or mental, because it will destroy your game.

So, clear your mind, relax your body, and enjoy the game .  Thanks (Golf  For Women / The Beginner’s Guide) LW
