Rice Lake Golf

Spring has sprung - the azaleas are in bloom - It’s time to get some practice in. Now you can buy the same golf driving range mats that the best clubs are using. New Country Club Elite Golf Mats are made with a dense thick fiber that acts like the real thing. You can hit down on the ball and feel like you took a real divot.

 It’s great to have the best golf mat available - in my back yard, I can squeeze a little practice in when ever I get a chance.

Just knowing the Masters is starting this week has me all jazzed up about improving my golf game this year.  I was reading Golf Digest while I was on the elliptical today and I read an article about how Sam Snead looked at his game and decided he was taking to many chances - specifically on par 5’s.  He stopped going for greens in 2 if they were heavily guarded with trees, bunkers, OB, etc.

He dramatically improved and won the Varden.

Not being a very good golfer to this point - I have always had the mentality that you don’t ever remember that time you laid-up.  But I also know that my score hasn’t really improved much over the years.

So this year I’m really going to focus on getting better and practicing more.

I have a great golf mat set-up in my backyard. I’ve been using the Tallboy golf mat with my Birdieballs in the backyard trying to focus on swing plane and squaring the club at impact.  And I’m jonesing to get out on the course.

I’ll keep you posted on my progress.
