The Northern Hickory Golf Tour unofficially starts today. I am driving three hours to meet up with my friends for the Golf Historical Society of Canada to play a course called Couchiching  Golf  Club in Orillia, Ontario, Canada. I have never played this course and it should be great fun. There is a trick to playing a new course that applies regardless of what clubs one plays. It is something that most golfers overlook and is a game changer regarding our golf experience.
