If you have read our first welcome post you read all about “Spanky”, the original pirate golfer and his adventures on the golf course…well now, because it’s cold and snowy out and Spanky can’t golf, he’s going to be contributing to our blog with his wit and wisdom about the game he is so passionate about! Here is his first post-

To have consistently decent golf shots, the body & mind must be in unison. Its good to say to yourself…yes, I can make this shot ! O.K. now that you’ve  been practicing and playing lets swing through the ball smoothly, and hit the ball right on the sweet spot every time !

Even if you’re not practicing and playing a lot ( every other day like I try to do) you can have a reasonably decent round by keeping “body and mind” in unison through nine or eighteen holes.

Its also  important to not get mad at yourself while golfing. That will throw your game shots off drastically!  I have two sons that are in their mid twenties and we golf a lot together. What I’ve noticed, is every time one of them or both of them ( lol ) starts getting mad, their golf game goes away. But, I’ve also noticed that when they pull themselves together mentally to match their athletic talents, all of a sudden they start hitting the ball like a pro player again.

So, in my good play book, lesson number one, is Body and Mind in Unison!  So what are you waiting for! Get out there and hit some golf balls!  From a pirate of the green,  hit a good one ! Spanky
