A quick quote for this week – “A “gimme” can best be defined as an agreement between two golfers, neither of whom can putt very well“. Author Unknown

Tip for this week:

For chipping, pretend you are throwing the ball underhand to get it close to the flag. Where would you want it to land? Then just use a club that reproduces this thought.
