Golf season is coming!

Here is a "healthy" way to fix a ball mark.

The ball landing on the green compacts the sod and tears it backwards. Try to undo that damage by using a tee to peck deeply enough to restore the pushed and compacted sod back into place. This will avoid additional tearing and will aerate the area that has been compacted. Six or eight rapid pecks with the tee will usually restore it well enough that you cannot see the mark when done.

It's amazing how many people that golf a lot have no clue how to do it right and lift the middle up killing all the roots. Don't get me started with driving ranges...

I play in the rough and only land on the green from 10 yards or less out. This avoids having to mess with ball marks.
 
Here is possibly a new way to look at golf, or at least scoring. This statement sound convoluted because we all know how important a good tee shot is but follow the logic and maybe it will make sense. "Every shot on a given hole is more important than the last shot" In other words the second shot is more important than the first shot, and the third shot is more important than the second shot.

Here's the logic. We've all hit a terrible drive and still finished the hole with a respectable score, so let's take an average par four for example. If your goal is to make birdie, you can hit a bad drive and still make birdie by hitting a great second shot. But, if you hit a decent drive and hit a bad second shot your chances of making birdie are reduced to near zero, and if you hit a bad third shot, birdie is gone.

It's fun to pound a great drive way out there but if you hit it in the woods, you have likely set yourself up for a bad score on that hole and possibly ruined a good score for the round.

And no, I am not just saying this because I can't hit the ball out of my shadow any more!:D
