The Most Challenging Golf Hazard

/ The Grateful Golfer / 8 Comments

A regular reader from Florida, Kevin, sent me these two pictures. He played through this hazard a few days ago. I am not even sure how to advise him on how to play in or near this treacherous stretch of course. I guess the best thing is to just avoid it!

Thanks Kevin for the pictures. I am grateful you sent them my way.

I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!

Breaking In A New Golf Club

I am going out on a limb here by saying that many new shiny golf clubs were resting under the Christmas tree just a few short days ago. These new tools were likely bought off the rack and considered stock clubs. I know this because I have received a few of these awesome gifts over the years. And this is when my inexperience showed when it was time to give it a try.
