GOLF TIP of the WEEK
Hit some balls with your feet exaggerated and spread out. Then hit some with your heels together. Then settle in to what seems most comfortable. Too wide encourages sliding left and right.
GOLF JOKE of the WEEK
The late great Paul Harvey once said about golf:
“Golf is a game in which you yell 'fore', shoot six and write down five.”
Keep it in the Middle
