Golf Course 101

Thank you for returning to Golf Course 101! A new way to learn about golf and life.

I don’t know how many of you watched the Master’s yesterday but I was on the edge of my seat.  Angel Cabrera pulled it out with mental strength, determination, and a little bit of luck from the golf gods.  This is the kind of action that makes me want to get on the course as soon as possible and start swinging the club.  Many news stations were commenting on the weather at the Master’s and how it was finally a good weather day on Sunday, the final round of the tournament, and many players took advantage of that!

I hope you have been able to make it out to the course some since we last talked.  I was able to play a few times in the last two weeks and unfortunately my weather conditions were not as good as the Master’s. 

I’ve been reading up on some of my golf books that I have around the house and one caught my eye recently.  It’s called, The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Golf by Joshua Piven, David Borgenicht, and James Grace.  Have you ever heard of this series of books?  Well believe it or not, there are some good tips and tricks in this book about how to survive certain situations on the golf course.  One of my favorites is “how to survive a bird attack” and “how to get a cart out of sand trap.”  Here’s a link if you’d like to check out their site and for a few excerpts from the book:  http://www.worstcasescenarios.com/mainpage.htm   I highly recommend this book as a good gift for your favorite golfer or for yourself…you never know what you’re going to encounter on the course!

I’ve added some of my picks for good golf books here on the website.  You’ll have to check them out.  I’ll probably end up talking about all of them at some point and they would all be good to have in your collection.

Keep getting inspired by great golf!
