Tips from the pros If you’re looking for ways to improve your game, you came to the right place
STAFF REPORTS “Pay attention to the shot at hand. Don’t bring the shot that you just messed up with you. Your ball is where it is. You have to deal with it as it is. Pay attention to only that at the time you are hitting the shot.”
— Jeff Smith, Director of Instruction at Otter Creek Golf Course “Make sure that you warm up prior
to your round. Give yourself 15 minutes, even if it’s just swinging for 10 minutes and rolling a few putts. I think if everyone would give themselves 15 minutes before they start, it will make them a much better player.”
— Chad Cockerham, Head Professional at Otter Creek Golf Course See TIPS on Page 13
