Quick Tip for Golf Players

Trevor Alexander


Early spring in the northeast can bring a plethora of weather. Temperatures still drop and the wind will gust making the already challenging game of golf even more difficult. My advice is to attempt to simplify what we are trying to accomplish. Below are a couple points that will hopefully help during these spring months.





  • Get to the course 15 minutes earlier than normal; warming up is key when temperatures are low. Hitting a few balls before jumping on the tee will also help prevent injuries. 
  • Use an extra club; this will allow you to swing a little easier and also the lower loft will keep the ball down out of the spring winds.
  • When putting use less break and hit putts with slightly more pace. Greens in the spring can be inconsistent due to the weather, be more aggressive on bumpy greens.
  • Try not to think that it is July already; it is not 90 degrees and sunny, plus we have not had a chance to home in our games yet. Keep realistic expectations such as aiming for the middle of fairways and greens and not at small targets.
