I started off the year with a few golf resolutions, and like most people, I only had mild expectations of sticking to them. The one goal that really had the least to do with golf and the most to do with life was a commitment to walking the golf course as part of my overall plan to get into better shape.
Five months into 2011, and I can definitely declare that my resolution to ditch golf carts and become a walking golfer has been a successful mission, and the health benefits are stacking up in my support.
There’s been a lot of talk in the last few months about how fitness can improve your game, and one way everyone can get in better shape is ditching the battery powered golf cart in favor of walking. What a better way to get into that habit than with a new push cart.
Hello out there golf fans, and welcome to yet another volume of Hittin’ the Links. There was a lot going on in the golf world this week. I have to say though my favorite moment was when David Toms returned to his winning ways at the Colonial. It’s nice to see him finally get back on track.
As I’m sure everyone in the golfing community has heard, Severiano Ballesteros passed early on the morning of May 7th. Seve was a larger than life figure in the world of European golf and golf around the world, and he is one of the few superstar athletes to have gained universal acclaim. Seve is widely considered to be the best European golfer of all time, and his death before his time comes to great dismay for golf fans across the globe. Ballesteros will be remembered as being one of the most exciting and creative golfers of all time, and one of the legends of the sport.
