Spring has sprung at Forsgate

Spring has sprung at Forsgate!


How many of you put your clubs away for the winter? How many of you rushed out the other day to play when it was in the 70’s? I bet a lot of you! Did any of you feel sore or tight the next day?  Here is a quick tip to get you ready for this season and shake off the winter.


It may seem silly and unimportant but you have to warm up your body before you go out on to the course. It may not always be possible but you have to give yourself at least 15-20 minutes to loosen up that body. Touch your toes, take practice swings. Begin your warm up by hitting half shots with your wedge. Then work yourself up to your driver.  When I see someone grab the driver for the first swing….  I think to myself, OUCH! (unless you are a  9 year old).
If you go straight to the first tee and begin playing, it may take you two or three holes to warm up. Don’t make the mistake of starting your round with an 8, and blaming it on “warming up.”


So get the season and your golf game off to a positive start.  Get on the range to warm up before you play! Good luck and let me know how it goes!!
