Re: Preparing for tournament play.

Thanks again.
We may not get to play the tournament courses prior to the competition; I thought we would see if any of them had yardage books to study as preparation. We played three rounds this weekend at 2 different courses. Like all golfers, Tim wants to hit his drive as far as possible, but when it gets away from him it's costly. The thing we tried to work on was placing the ball a certain distance out so that his next shot would be with his most accurate club. He likes to go for the pin most of the time; I like to make sure I get on first, and then work the hole. The other thing was chipping, when to chip and run or use the flop shot. So I guess you could say we worked course management. Golf is great for bonding with the family, especially at his age (15) when parents aren’t so cool any more.
