Be your own Golf Coach
1.Pay attention to your body: Go easy
- Focus on balance and stop if things start to hurt. You are just waking up your golf muscles
2. Pay attention to patterns:
- Is the ball flying left or right all the time?
- Use a rangefinder or estimate how far balls are flying
This info will help you prepare for your next session.
Enjoy your time outside!
