Do you ever remember putting on a snowsuit and going outside when you were younger?
Or even with your kids recently? Moving around in that snowsuit or winter gear, you are
probably not as mobile as you would be if you were not rocking any of the above. In golf
because we play in the elements the same theory applies. Ranging from cold to hot conditions,
windy and wet, golf offers it all! If you are not adequately prepared for the round then you are
doing yourself a disservice. Golf is a sport where YOU are your own equipment manager so
start acting like it! Before you come up with all the reasons why you shot a 92 in the rain, try
putting on some rain gear and swinging and seeing what type of effect it has on your ability to
rotate and create speed. Does this affect your carry? How about your shoes, are they
waterproof? Do you have enough gloves, balls and tees? As a junior golfer, these things are
vital to understand at a young age. There are always bulk equipment specials with gloves and
balls available where you can stock up and save some money over the year knowing that you
will be playing lots of golf. I hear it all the time from high level players that the course was
tough, it was wet and it affected scoring. With a simple weather app you can help predict the
weather and should always keep any equipment you may need close by. Hopefully the good
weather comes back to us soon up here in the northeast so we can all get back out on the golf
course!
