go l f ing gr e e n

olf has always, to me, been a game that is one with nature. Sure, it may be manicured and massaged into perfection, but it is one of the few games that really gets you among the trees and out in the sun. It’s nice to see how the world changes from an early tee-time through into late afternoon. I love seeing the birds flying just below the clouds as I wait for my partners and friends to tee off. And it is the sun that could provide the biggest boon of all to private courses. As resource technology moves more and more towards the renewable, prices are falling for something we’ve all considered using to save money. Solar power. Photovoltaic cells are becoming cheaper and cheaper, allowing for golf clubs to power their carts with the sun. While start up would still be a bit on the expensive side, the reduction in power usage could, overall, decrease the cost of running the course.

Peel and stick panels are currently in the affordable realm and installation is as easy as sticking them on and plugging them in. Once that’s done, you’re off to the races. As a cart goes through a day of golf, it sits in the sun for much of it. The course itself would be providing the charge for the cart and it wouldn’t need to be pulled from main lines any longer. And let’s not forget the 30% tax credit for each unit purchased. The savings are almost instant. Golf courses would be saving green and being green at the same time. These panels range from low wattage for daily use all the way up to large 410-watt arrays for larger 8 passenger carts. The types you would see in a busy downtown area carrying tourists to and from destinations along a strip. The combination of solar power and electric golf carts is almost destined to be. It’s an absolute match made in heaven.

Golf Grip Tips To Improve Your Golf Game

t comes as no big surprise that practicing the swing of your golf club is important to your success on the fairway. But how often do you work on your grip? Probably not nearly as often as you should. And no, I don’t mean the actual rubber grip on your club. I mean how you hold your hands! Holding the club the wrong way can really cause all sorts of issues. The ball may not fly nearly as far, the club may feel awkward or even uncomfortable in your hands. I’ve even seen golf clubs go flying out of the user’s hand. All because the way they were holding the club was just entirely incorrect.

Second, keep your off-hand relaxed with the palm facing you. Lay the grip of the club across the inside of your fingers, right between the second and third knuckle. If you’ve done this correctly, the butt of the club should extend just past the third knuckle of your pinkie. The third step has you curl your middle, ring and pinkie fingers around the shaft of the club. Your thumb will also curl inward and end up resting with the meaty part of your thumb pressed onto the grip. At this point, you should be able to feel the entirety of the club’s grip with those four fingers. If you’ve got it totally correct you shouldn’t feel your thumb or forefinger touching.

If I haven’t done something in a while, I like to pretend like I’ve never done it. If I haven’t practiced my golf grip in a while, I do the exact same thing. I forget everything my mind and hands tell me to do. It’s just better to mentally start with a blank slate sometimes.

For the final step, take your dominant hand and place it comfortably on the club. Imagine a clock face. The head of the club would be pointing directly at the 12 o’clock position and your dominant thumb pointing towards the 11 o’clock position. Then simply lay it flat on the club. If it feels more natural and comfortable to you, you can also To start, place your dominant hand interlock your pinkie and forefingers. on the club right where the grip and the shaft meet. Using your Once the basic grip is mastered you dominant hand, lift the club up to can try many other types of grips, such about a 45 degree angle.

how to be comfortable & fashionable on the golf course

o one expects to go out on the golf course and be perfect every time. Perfection can never really be attained, even by the greatest players of our day. At least not in the play itself. No one really says that it’s important to be totally fashionable on the golf course. Comfort really should be first and foremost considering that we’re playing in the sun and in the heat. Despite that, you can still look good. Spending the extra money on a moisturewicking polo shirt and comfortable, light weight pants that still have some semblance of style is priceless, especially when playing at a club with a strict dress code. Comfort should still be a priority.

just as well while playing golf as they do in an air conditioned conference room. The thin, cool material absorbs and disperses sweat. When people think of moisture wicking clothing, they tend to think of the skin tight undergarments that football players wear in the locker room. Yes, the material is quite similar, but clearly not skin tight. It looks exactly like what you would buy specifically to dress business casual. Even pants have become more comfortable and made to pull away heat and moisture to keep you dry and comfortable. It’s also not uncommon to see UV protection as well as adding the convenience of tee holders. Like the moisture wicking shirts, the material tends to be light, but durable. Something that can be absolutely vital to ones comfort when playing in the hot sun.

Many major sports brands, such as Nike and Adidas, Who says looking good and make comfortable and being fashionable have to be subtle clothing that can work mutually exclusive? The Back Nine of GRAND RAPIDS ♦ advertising to move your business forward ♦ 10

Sports Psychology & Golf

ports Psychology is nothing new. Major athletes have used it for years as a way to get over the innate fears of the losses they have experienced. Being able to confront and push past ones fears is a way to perform at or near the pinnacle of your ability. When you’re feeling your best mentally, you just play better. The same applies for the game of golf. Tournament and competitive players are always under pressure to perform at their best and this pressure can really collapse when the inevitable mistake comes and bites them. Everyone has seen how pressure, both on and off the course, has affected great players. Anything from a bad night’s sleep to a breakfast that didn’t agree with you can somehow manage to increase that pressure. All it takes it one little misstep and suddenly you’re mired way back in the field and suddenly every time you swing, you think ‘if I miss this shot I’m done.’

Many players have taken to going to a sports psychologist at some point in their career and it has completely revitalized them. That pressure is no longer a curse, but just part of how the game is played. The game of golf is an inherently mental game. It’s all about focus. A sports psychologist can easily help you narrow that focus and not think about the things around you that could effect your game. Once you set foot on the course, you’re able to maintain your composure. But there’s also no real need to go see a psychology professional. There are hundreds of resources on the internet just waiting for you to access them. You can also find plenty of sports psychology books written by some of the leading professionals in the field. The greatest thing about golf is that is really is designed as a way to relax. Perhaps that is really the most important thing to remember when you’re playing for fun. On the fairway, the pressures of your day are really off and the club is your psychologist.

How To Choose Between Top Golfing Accessories

hen you are faced with may different golfing accessories, it can be easy to lose sight of your goals and simply become overwhelmed by all of the different options. If you want to spend your money well and get golf accessories that will come in handy, you should follow some guidelines that I will lay out for you here. It will help you to step back and look objectively at what your ultimate goal is. Hopefully, as a result of your careful research you will save some money and end up making the best choice when it comes to choosing the accessories that are best for you.

First you need to assess how useful the item can be. Will it actually make your game of golf more enjoyable, or is it more of a novelty that will soon wear off? If you aren’t buying an item for its utility, you will have to seriously think about why else you could want it. Are you hoping to impress your golfing buddies, or do you just feel the obsessive need to spend money on golf and its many accessories? Items like golf club bags will always be useful since they help to keep your other big investments save and organized for you. However, the same can’t be said for other golf accessories. Some are just a waste of money that reel you in because of how neat they are. One day when you go to the golf course, imagine that you have the accessory with you. Every time you would use it throughout the day, make

a mark on a piece of paper. You may be surprised to find that there are absolutely no marks at the end of the day. However, if there are a few marks and you honestly believe that you would be better off with the accessory, then you should start comparing brands and features. Price is an important factor to consider. Personally, it helps me make a choice when I can find the cheapest option for the particular accessory I’m looking at. If you think there is a way that you could get cheaper golf accessories, then you should certainly take advantage of this. You might be able to find the same exact accessory for half as much. If you have golfing buddies who tend to go through accessories at a high turnover rate, you should ask them if they have anything that they would be willing to part with for a fair price. You might luck out and get it for free. Even if you just get it for a discounted rate, it is still better than paying full price. Golf accessories can put a huge hole in your wallet if you re not careful, so it s good to take advantage of these opportunities when they arise. Instead of just going for the most expensive accessory whenever you see something that strikes your interest, you should take a more cool and calculated approach to the purchase. Do everything that I have mentioned so far in order to make sure that you really want and need the item, and then do what you can to get the best deal possible on the golf accessory. You will save plenty of money in the long run for it to be worth the effort.

Your Golf Basic Training Routine

proper training program is the most important part of your golf training routine. When training, most folks forget to work on shots close to the green. Extra hours hitting a picturesque drive can be fun, but fixing the kinks in your shots in the sub 100-yard range will cut strokes from you card faster. For a training regiment to be effective, you must keep a regular routine. Golf training time should be shared equally between driving and approaches. An hour pounding drives should at least equal an hour on the putting green. Do not neglect approach shots either, or chip shots and or shots out of the sand. A long, arrow straight drive is a thing of beauty to watch, but an accurate chip shot will save two-puts and win matches. When training, it is best to simulate real world conditions. Sure, you could rake the sand perfectly smooth for each and every practice shot and place ball gently on top, but that will never happen on the course. Toss the ball straight up in the air to simulate the dreaded fried egg flop. Set your practice shots up right against the wall of the sand

trap practice high angle outs, or the smart shot off to the side. Train at rescuing your game from the deep salad. Not making it to the driving range is not a reason to skip training. If you spent an hour at the driving range this morning, then you owe yourself an hour of short game practice. A bucket of balls is the only equipment you need to practice chipping from the unattended edges at the park. Incorporating your putter into your training routine will prove the most important thing you can do. More matches are decided on the green than any other part of the course. Practice the long shots, the short taps and even a few from the fringe while on the putting green. Do not forget that you can practice at home too. You can chip from the garden and weed at the same time! Refrain from mowing the back yard another week and practice some light chip shots. Find a neighbor and take turns hitting practice balls into each other yard to work on blind chip shots. Regular practice is the most important element in your training routine. You will be better off with an hour, three times a day than four hours on a Sunday. Most important, enjoy your time. Golf is no fun if becomes work.

sunglasses for the greens

unglasses are, for most, part of the every day. You wake up, you leave the house and on go the sunglasses. They protect our eyes and keep us from seeing spots when we get caught in the glare of a rear window. But a good pair of shades can be extremely useful when playing golf,too. Here are a few different things to consider when buying a pair of sunglasses, both for on and off the greens. Comfort Comfort is an extremely important factor. If your sunglasses slide down your nose or maybe rest awkwardly against your ears, you can find yourself distracted. Or unable to keep them on your face. When buying a good pair of sunglasses, make sure that you’ve tried them on and that they feel ‘matched’ to your facial structure. It doesn’t do to just let them sit on your face. Move your head around. Look up and down and side to side. If you feel any slippage at all, it could tell you that when you start sweating, you could find your sunglasses being more annoying that useful. Tint and Polarization For golf, you want to be able to measure distances by eye. Dark or ‘smoke’ tint on your sunglasses might not be great. A nice dark amber or brown is probably your best bet. Smoked lenses tend to wash things out a bit and can make everything look like the same color. You may find yourself lifting your glasses up to gauge distances better. A brown lens won’t wash things out nearly as much. No matter the lens color, though, getting

yourself a pair of polarized lenses is important. Polarization reduces glare and cuts the strain on your eyes if you’re looking in the direction of the sun. Weight This might be surprising for many. A pair of sunglasses is always light, right? Wrong. Some pairs have a real weight feel to them. This can cause discomfort around your ears and on the bridge of your nose, especially if there are uncomfortable nose pads on the glasses. The lighter the better. Many high end manufacturers are now producing sunglasses made of plastic that are just as tough as metal and weight half as much. UV Protection Ultra-Violet rays can really cause damage to your peepers. To avoid this find sunglasses that have a decent UV protection number on them. The more you’re outside, the higher your UV protection should be. Don’t skimp on this. UV damage accumulates over time and can cause problems down the road. If you’re playing golf often, do yourself a favor and get something with strong UV protection. Price Pricing is also something you ought to consider when making a purchase. I don’t mind spending $100.00 on a pair of sunglasses. These are things I use daily and they should be worth it. It’s just an extra benefit when I can use it on the golf course or at the driving range. Of course, spending $100.00 on a pair of shades isn’t for everyone. As long as you can find the specifications you need, price doesn’t matter, even if they’re something you find at a convenience store on the way to play.

building Confidence in Golf

olf confidence is learned in many different ways. Golf is a very visual game in more ways than many of us realize. I was reminded of this fact yesterday when I played with a lady who had left her clubs at home in her rush to get to the course. When she arrived, she borrowed a set of clubs and off we went! Later in the day, she pulled out a 5 wood and proceeded to hit one of the sweetest shots possible, landing on a perfectly flat lie (not easy on this course) leaving an exact 150 yards to the middle of the green. Very nice indeed! As the game progressed it became obvious to us all that this 5 wood was quickly becoming a real favorite. She really bonded with this club. By the time we finished the first nine she disappeared into the pro shop and had ordered a 5 wood and a 3 in this particular make. Now here is a good golfer with a nice positive attitude who knows immediately what she wants! I like her style. I was immediately reminded of the fact that an almost identical thing had happened to me a few months earlier, although sadly I did not take such immediate action. I was playing in the Carolinas and had not taken my clubs and hence borrowed a set, which I immediately bonded with; I have to say that this does not usually happen for me. Upon returning home I just could not hit my own driver and woods as sweetly as I had those other clubs.

I kept looking down at the club as it sat facing the ball and it simply didn’t look good to me; it didn’t look “right”. I knew in my head that it was in my own mind, if you see what I mean. But the fact remains that if your club does not look right to you, your golf confidence doesn’t feel right either! And any golfer knows that confidence is KING. Without confidence that ball zips off cross country as it takes on a mind of its own and visits trees, bunkers, lakes and goodness only knows what else. Those golf balls do what they are told and if you do not apply a firm and focused mind set they will undoubtedly reflect this omission. I am a self confessed golf addict as are the gals I was playing with. A great conversation ensued about the look of a club and how it affected each of us. We progressed to discussing swings and swing thoughts and swing styles. We all agreed that everyone has to find their own perfect swing. There is no perfect swing for all and everyone. Between the three of us, one has a baseball swing with a start and a finish added later, one has a “too-wide” stance and “tooflat” swing plane (me), and the other has what one would probably say is the more accepted norm. But they all work...for the person who uses them. They wouldn’t necessarily work for someone else, but that doesn’t matter; so long as your swing works for you, that’s all that is important. And your swing will work for you when you have golf confidence. In golf, confidence is KING.

are you swinging your club too hard?

he possibility of swinging excessively hard is enough to make even the best golfer stop in their tracks. Most golf enthusiastic are aware that swinging too hard is one of the 3 Golf Commandments never to break. So whenever you may hit an awful drive - the first thing out of the mouth of anyone nearby is: ‘You looked like you were trying to execute that ball!’ And your answer is no doubt: ‘Better believe it, I tried to hit that one a mile.’ Yet, have you ever thought seriously that the fear of swinging too hard could

really prompt more lost golf balls than actually doing it? What does that mean? As most golfers are so stressed over swinging excessively hard and hitting an awful golf shot - the best players on the planet are swinging near 30 mph (48 kph) faster than you. Yet, no one is letting them know that they’re swinging excessively hard - and by the looks of things - they’re hitting some really average golf shots that are interpreting into some really great scores. Would you concur? From the research that I’ve seen, the normal male is swinging his driver at 85 mph (137 kph) and the normal

The Back Nine of GRAND RAPIDS ♦ advertising to move your business forward ♦ 26

female is swinging her driver at 75 mph (121 kph). Yet, Ernie Els, who’s regularly begrudged for how smooth he can swing - swings his Driver at 118 mph (190 kph). While Tiger swings his driver upwards of 125 mph (201 kph). Yet, the apprehension of you swinging excessively hard, despite the fact that you’re swinging around 40 mph slower than the pros - is no doubt making you hit more awful shots than when you do really swing excessively hard. Significance - as a result of this issue, you’re undoubtedly decelerating with your Driver, which could prompt such unpleasant impacts, for example, cutting and loss of separation. Have you ever accomplished both of those? Whenever you’re remaining by the first tee holding up for your tee time - watch the gathering that is teeing off. I expect you’ll see most Golfers decelerating their golf swing to the point that they really have the vast majority of their weight on their back foot at contact with the golf ball. Have you ever wound up with your weight on your back foot? Implying that in light of the fact that you’re making a decent attempt not to swing excessively hard, that you are utilizing your body to ease off your swing by inclining over on your back foot. Again, have you ever gotten yourself on your back foot after a Drive? Deceleration! Trust me; on and around the greens aren’t the main spots you’re decelerating. You’re additionally in all likelihood doing likewise with your Driver. However, deceleration is frequently not reprimanded for the awful tee shot - its regularly mis-diagnosed by the ‘swing specialists’ that you may be playing with as “getting your head, swinging excessively hard, swinging outrageous, twisting your left elbow, not turning your shoulders, etc.” Yes, having the capacity to swing smooth can help you to hit a superior golf shot. However, attempting to swing moderate will really make you hit an awful golf shot. the back nine of GRAND RAPIDS ♦ backninepublishing.com ♦ 27

singapore is a golfer’s delight

ingapore has long been known for beautiful beaches, clean roads and a low crime rate. This has caused the country to enjoy a solid tourism industry complete with solid growth. One of the reasons the country has witnessed that growth is because of the relatively new emergence of Singapore as a golfing destination. The past few years has seen the popularity of golf in Asia explode. There are courses which rival anything one could find in Scotland or the United States along with the highprofile golfers that play them. Tournament money and sponsorship in the sport has increased which has caused a new generation of Asians to become interested in golf. Thus

Singapore,

with

money, has devoted much time to building some of the world’s best golf courses. Their courses are lush, difficult and come with some of the best service anyone could ask for. The country plays host to 14 golf associations and more than 30 golf courses for amateurs and professionals to play. The jewel in the country’s golfing crown is the Sentosa Golf Club which is 18 difficult holes with spectacular views of the harbor or the sea. It is the host of the Singapore Open and major athletes from the golfing world have walked through its doors and teed off. Forbes Magazine listed it as one of the top 10 elite golf courses in Asia. Yet, just because only one course from Singapore made the list does not mean that that is the only course worth playing.

The Back Nine of GRAND RAPIDS ♦ advertising to move your business forward ♦ 28

Golf in Singapore has become the favorite pastime of a number of Singaporeans and expats and the country has ensured that their courses match or exceed the quality of courses to be found abroad. However, not all greens are open to everyone. The country has a mix of open courses and courses restricted to members only. Yet, visitors set on playing at a course which is restricted to members need not to fret. Some hotels have agreements with exclusive courses to allow their guests to tee off at the elite courses for a nominal fee. Yet visitors to the island who are unable to play at an exclusive course can still have a good time. One of the top courses in the country is open to the public and it has acquired quite the following. The Marina Bay Golf Course is 18 holes of fun and is entirely open to anyone who wants to play it. The location is perfect for businessmen and businesswomen who would like to knock a few balls around before or after the daily meeting. It is located right in the heart of downtown Singapore which gives it a premier location and unlimited accessibility. This unlimited accessibility has been a problem for many in Singapore’s golfing world. The number of people who enjoy golf has grown exponentially, yet so has the city’s population. This has caused a number of courses be considered for redevelopment in order to accommodate the surrounding population. This can cause the city’s courses to change quickly and become more exclusive to access. Golf courses are enjoying space alongside some of the country’s top real estate and many officials are stumped trying to keep up with modifying courses and enabling population expansion. Yet, people still demand more golf destinations. The heightened interest has caused a number of courses to create interesting and highly difficult holes on which to play. Yet, Singapore’s stunning vistas, lush wildlife and some of the world’s top courses means that more and more people will visit the country just to play on the same green as some of the sport’s top legends. the back nine of GRAND RAPIDS ♦ backninepublishing.com ♦ 29

etting the right cart is only half the issue when dealing with golf carts. The other half of the job is to ensure the safety of the players. The majority of on-course accidents occur while riding golf carts. Regardless of the number and cause of accidents, one rule of thumb applies to everyone: be safe! Actions such as standing while inside the cart, driving without paying attention or while drunk, hanging arms or legs out of the vehicle, and taking turns too quickly can all result in unsafe situations.

Because these are also some actions that cause accidents on roads, it is obvious that the rules of the road apply even to the cart paths. Here are some guidelines to ensure safety while running a golf cart on the dedicated path. Read and Observe Safety Guidelines Before getting inside the cart, go through the safety guidelines or warnings written on stickers on the vehicle. Nowadays, most carts do have such stickers. However, reading is only half the job. You also need to adhere to those rules.

The Back Nine of GRAND RAPIDS â&#x2122;Ś advertising to move your business forward â&#x2122;Ś 30

Mind Your Body Language While inside the cart, ensure that you do not stand up or stretch your arms and legs outside. If you hang a foot outside while moving, it can result in a sprained or broken ankle or foot. Further, one cannot ignore the impact of obstacles such as twigs or tree branches. Follow Some Basic Rules When you buy a golf cart, ensure that it has safety belts and do use them while moving around. Furthermore, avoid turning at high speeds to prevent being thrown out of the cart. It is a fact that many people have lost their lives after been thrown from a cart. In addition, if you are driving the cart, consider pressing the accelerator only after individuals are seated. You should also take care to prevent collision with another cart. For that matter, avoid speeding to a stop in the parking area, especially at the rear of a parked vehicle. Be Vigilant Always keep an eye on the cart path. This might sound obvious but if you fail to watch, distractions can cause your ride to go bad. If you are distracted, your cart can go off the right path and can even cause an accident. You need to be extra alert on paths at intersections, near obstacles, or around the clubhouse. Moreover, avoid driving the vehicle through unsafe places on the course, such as rough terrain, trees, water or ravines. the back nine of GRAND RAPIDS â&#x2122;Ś backninepublishing.com â&#x2122;Ś 31

get the most out of your game

re you an aspiring golfer A who doesn’t know where to start, or an intermediate golfer looking to improve your game? This article is written for golfers of all skill levels who want to know what techniques they can try to improve their shots and lower their scores. Read on to find out how.

In order to be good at golf, one of the basic things that you need to take care of is your grip. It is good to know how the ball will act in response to your grip. The tighter you hold the golf club, the more likely it is that the ball will go to the right. The looser the grip, the more likely that the ball will go to the left.

Add power to your swing by using your body, not your arms. Lean in to power your shot. Turn with the ball on the downswing. This lets you use the power of all of the muscles in your body to get a better shot, instead of being limited to just your arm muscles. Another helpful tip is to be sure that you are a positive role model on the course when it comes to sportsmanship. This will say a lot about your character and help to build up the relationship with whoever you are playing with. Never let competitiveness get in the way of friendship.

A helpful tip when it comes to golf is to make sure that you follow through with each shot that requires a full hit. This is helpful because you want to make the most out of your swing and stopping short may cause you to not hit the ball as far as intended.

If you want to get rid of a hook the first thing you should do is check your grip. If your grip is too strong, your right hand is rotated too far over your left hand, you should practice moving your hand to a more neutral position. This will open your club face at contact and should prevent the hook.

Additionally, always be sure to try to find the reason why things go wrong if you have a bad day or bad shot. It is common to blame outside factors for your shortcomings, but you will not become a better golfer unless you can narrow down how to improve.

We hope you enjoyed this article about improving your golfing game. Hopefully, no matter what your skill level, you’ve learned something here that can improve your game and your overall skill as a golfer. Apply these tips in your practice, play to see your scores drop and come out ahead of your opponents.

s m ar t g u id e t o electric golf trolleys

ndoubtedly, the demand for golf trolleys is on the rise -- especially the electric ones that work on batteries. However, the increasing variety of electric trolleys has made selection a bit challenging for the firsttime buyer. Here are some tips for choosing the most suitable electric trolley for the first time. Look for Entry Level In case you are unaware, golf manufacturers offer entry-level golf trolleys ranging from 100 to 300 dollars. This is a good way to begin in case of a limited budget, although it is worth investing more in case a budget vehicle

does not offer the features you need. Cost is truly the first factor but good value may be more important. Check Out Features A few new or fancy features (such as a remote control) tend to excite beginners. The remote control feature is likely to save energy and time by eliminating the need to continuously pull or push it. Another interesting feature is a distance function that allows the trolley to move ahead. Although these features are very tempting, you should not lose your focus on what you need. For most new buyers, the weight, build quality and battery life are

The Back Nine of GRAND RAPIDS â&#x2122;Ś advertising to move your business forward â&#x2122;Ś 34

essential. It is certain that no new buyer would like to have their new remote control trolley lose battery by the 15th hole, or to see their budget trolley falling by the 12th hole. Therefore, you should always focus on the basic features first. However, you should not compromise other features for better quality. You need to ensure a long battery life, enough to cover the number of holes you usually like to play. Moreover, you should make sure the trolley is not too heavy and that it will last for a few years with good service. Examine YOUR OPTIONS If you are purchasing from a street-side store, have a small discussion with the staff. Find out whether or not the disclosed weight includes the battery, check out features and warranty, and ask about the return policy as well. To know about the best trolley for your requirements, consider chatting with your fellow golfers at the 19th hole. If you are buying online, spend some time searching for discounted offers and customer reviews to ensure you are getting the best quality product for your needs. In-Home Therapy of Grand Rapids™offers quality individualized one-on-one physical and occupational therapy treatment by a licensed therapist. We work with all ages. Common problems treated include neck/back pain, balance, arthritis, leg pain, shoulder pain, post surgical, home safety & equipment recommendations.

At the end of each nine holes, tally up the strokes for your front nine and back nine totals, respectively, then add up those two numbers for your 18-hole score. the back nine of GRAND RAPIDS ♦ backninepublishing.com ♦ 37
