The holiday season is over and many of you have likely received a new golf club (s) as a gift. You are excited to hit the links and see what your new found treasure holds in store for your golf game. I did not receive anything this year, but in the past I was lucky enough to be blessed with new drivers, wedges and hybrids. The first thing I wanted to do was hit the course and swing away. Of course, this approach to using new equipment was folly and my experience tells me I should have hit the range first. Well, that is my advice to you today: hit the range first and see what your new clubs can do before playing the guessing game on the course.
