September is a strange month for golf here at Cypresswood. It is very important to stay patient and to have a sense of humor about the game we love to play. The end of the summer is very unpredictable with wet and hot conditions the rule. Follow the guidelines listed below and you will enjoy your time on the golf course and just maybe play better because you are happier.

1. Choke down one inch on all shots, including the driver. This will help you gain a little more control over the golf ball and produce more predictable results.
2. Play safe at all times. Wet rough is almost impossible to recover from if you are greedy. Play out to the fairway and then to the green. You’re not as strong as you think you are!
3. Chip with the most lofted club in your bag. The extra loft will help get you out of bad lies and it makes no sense to the run the ball through the wet approaches.
4. Putt with the ball in the front of your stance. Position the ball next to your left big toe. This will allow the ball to stay on top of the grass and not get hung up in the wet turf.

Please practice for fun and enjoyment and remember a bad day of golf is better than a good day of work. Good luck and good golfing!
