The Golf Historical Society of Canada is hosting an awesome annual event. I am planning to attend at this time, but need to work out a couple challenges. If you are interested, see the flyer below.
Playing golf with hickory shafted clubs is always a great fun. I have not swung my modern clubs yet, but I hope to before heading down for this event.

Every round of golf has the potential to result in a fantastic score. Regardless of the course, every player can visualize shooting a score they can be proud of while kibitzing at the 19th hole. It is a matter of developing a strategy, focusing on each swing, reacting the results and remaining positive when the round falls off the rails.

I have decided to watch all of the videos over the next few weeks because the information offered by Jones is universal for all amateurs. After watching my first video on casting (what we call it now), Jones highlighted exactly what my challenges were over the space of my golfing career. He explains the issue and offers a solution that is simple and understandable. This is information that is useful for all golfers regardless of their abilities.
