Breaking WHEN

“I get up every morning determined to both change the world and to have one hell of a good time. Sometimes, this makes planning the day difficult.”—E. B. White Successful preparation comes from gathering information and making decisions. Sometimes predictable, other times not at all. Giving detailed attention to the time and season of your next golf fame will reap dividends. Time of day and season of the year can influence your play on the golf course. Pay attention to timing when gauging how buys the course will be and note climate changes that can affect the temperature and course conditions. Beginners should avoid the busy times. If you’re a beginner, inform the person who’s taking your tee time, and ask if there’s a time they would prefer you to play. Playing in front of faster players can b intense and you’ll feel pressured. Conversely, experienced players can avoid the slow times. If you like to play at a quicker pace, of if you’re only a twosome, ask the person who’s taking your tee time if there’s a group in front that might slow you down. Playing behind slow players is excruciating. Asking the question gives you an opportunity to take control of the situation and possibly adjust your plans. When time of season hand you less-than-perfect climate conditions, use common sense. Fog, frost, and dew can saturate a golf course, and slogging through any of that can leave your trousers soaked from mid-shin down. Golfing all day with cold, wet feet or pants is absolutely no fun. To combat this, first and foremost wear waterproof shoes. Another trick is to tuck your pants into your socks to keep them dry. It’ll look like you’re wearing knickers, which is a really cool side effect.
