least eight hours of sleep. Set an alarm to remind you it’s time to hit the hay, and make sure you take the time to wind down with a simple relaxing activity like meditation, reading, stretching or anything you find calming.

Without question, Sleep can help you improve your performance on and off the course. Getting enough rest and recovery can support your mental, physical and immune resilience Not getting enough hours in bed can severely impact your ability to play golf to your standards.

Performing at our highest level is something that’s obviously important for us golfers, so if having better mental and physical capacity to play the game you love sounds good to you, here are some tips from Dr. Durmer to help you catch more z’s and make more birdies.

2. Cool down: We sleep best when our core temperature cools down. Taking a warm shower and then cooling down quickly will help you fall asleep. Keeping the room you will be sleeping in at a cooler temperature will also help you fall asleep and stay asleep.

3. Kick technology out of your room: Where possible, remove technology and devices from your room. The light from these devices can put your circadian rhythm out of whack and disturb your sleep with the sounds they make. Essentially, you shouldn’t have anything in your room that you don’t need to fall asleep or that will keep you awake.

Heads up Putting TRY THIS NEW APPROACH TO SINK MORE PUTTS

By Trevor Duncan

A new approach I have recently adopted in my putting stroke is "heads up putting."

You literally putt with your head up looking at the hole.

With so many people worried about the line, lets never forget, speed is the most important aspect of putting. With "heads up putting" You get a feel for both the speed and the line.

Here is why heads up putting can drastically improve your game.

1. You get a feel for how the putt should roll. When making your practice swings, make sure you are looking at the hole and getting a feel for how the putt will break. You never see a dart player looking at his hand while making a practice throw, no, they are looking at the bullseye. The same goes for you. We need to make that "Mind to Hole" connection.

2. Pick a spot. When using heads up putting you want to pick a spot near the hole where the ball should roll over. By having your head up, you are able to have laser focus on this spot, which leaves you a better chance to make the putt.
