New Golfers Need Tips

From the Masters in Augusta we can all learn a lesson from Tiger Woods. On the first three days he had less than 29 putts per round. On the final day he had 33 putts. Otherwise he would have been in contention.

From Phil Michelson we learned that when you are good - "You are Good!" A broadcaster said correctly, "We may be seeing the beginning of another Arnold Palmer- Jack Nicklaus era."  I hope so. I remember a few years ago thinking, "No golfer can even come close to Tiger Woods ability. He might just win them all!" I am beginning to think the same about Phil Michelson. In reality, as in years past, it is very difficult to stay on top week after week. But, we are definitely in for some very good golf during the remainder of the season.

One point I wish to make about these 50 Lessons. They are time tested and as I play my practice rounds, they continually hold true. Therefore, I suggest you take the time to print each lesson out for yourself or your students or your children. They are free and reliable. The print outs takes a while and could be easily done over a period of time.

As for me, when I finish working in my garden, now having twenty two very attractive Rose bushes, also Hibiscus and numerous other plants, including bulbs coming up, I will return to the golf course and probably add to the Lessons. My vacation from serious golfing endeavors has been welcomed. Time off is necessary and advisable. Building a garden(s) is extremely rewarding. As they say, "You should take time to smell the roses." Surprisingly it takes a long time for the bulbs to grow. But they do come up! A new garden has pleasant surprises nearly every day!

Below I have shown my Photo Journal web site and I have also included several attractive photos for your enjoyment. Take a welcomed break and see the flowers. They are beautiful.

  Richard, thank you so much for the lessons. I enjoyed them all and learn a lot that improved my game. Never golfed until I was 67 years of age. Previous to that I was a back yard gardener. Moved onto a golf course and now I must golf since the grounds and plants and plantings are all taken care of by our association.
  Got back from The Masters yesterday. We spent Sunday on the 16 th hole, par three, and saw only 7 birdies, 24 pars, 12 bogeys and 4 others in the final round. The green looked impossible to read and if the first putt did not go in the ball ran 6 to 12 feet passed the hole. No one left a putt short but no one could stop close to the hole. This was the hole that Tiger had the great chip shot on last year. This year he went bogey and bird in the last two rounds.
  Congratulations on the garden it looks great. Bulbs are fun. I always love to see the tulips and daffodils come up in the spring.
  Keep up the great work.
