Golf is Fantastic For Your Mental and Physical Well Being

As I start 2018, I am reminded of why golf is an important aspect of my life. The thought of hitting the course (in 4 months) makes me smile and opens up my mind to the possibilities of great things.

Now that you have a dozen or two new spheres of joy, the real question is: do you need to carry all of them during every round? Continue reading
