Winter Golf Tip
Work on Your Muscle Memory with Heavier Clubs
Muscle memory is a term you’ll hear often in the sports world Athletes train their bodies to ‘remember’ certain motions they need to excel in their sport. Golf is no different. That great swing you finally achieved late last summer. Your body can completely forget how it worked while you’re sitting indoors all winter long. That’s where muscle memory comes in. Get out your clubs and clear a large space in your home. Work on your swing but use heavier clubs than you normally do. The body’s muscle memory works better when you’re using that extra weight.

BEERS OF THE MONTH
Avery Brewing Company, Boulder, CO
Ellie's Brown Ale
$4.50 per can
This beautiful, deep russet brew is dominated by a chocolate and brown sugar maltiness with hints of vanilla and nuts, producing a smooth, wellbalanced, and quaffable brown ale. Originally named Elle's Brown Ale after Adam Avery's beloved chocolate lab, however, one Cease and Desist letter from a certain fashion publication later, this classic American Brown Ale was renamed Ellie. Elle didn't mind. Ellie's Brown Ale has all the characteristics of its namesake; friendly, mellow, and a little nutty. As Adam's best friend, she came with him to work every day and was a steadfast companion for all his climbing adventures Elle is missed, but she lives on in this beer as the mascot on the label.
