It will be important to protect your skin from the elements with some new sunscreen. Sunscreen does expire, and you want it to do its job correctly.
Body Movement Prep:
• Check your grip. Hand placement on the club is vital in maximizing face control and leverage. Make sure the club is placed across your hand diagonally instead of in your palm. • Posture Check Up. Take a look in the mirror to check that you are setup for success. Simply take your stance, tilt & flex with your chest up. This will place your palms on your knees; pres-

Stretch at home before heading to the course or arrive early enough to dynamically warm up to prevent injury. Now get out on the course with a smile and have fun. After all, you’re playing golf !
