The month of April brings Cypresswood to the brink of another summer transition. The grass gets longer and stronger. The greens become a little inconsistent because of the added moisture and heating during the night. All levels of golfer must make adjustments in their game in order to continue to lower their handicap. Here are a few tips to get you through the transition.

1. Grip the club firmer with your left hand.
2. Swing the club more up rather than around your body.
3. Work on accuracy and not distance.
4. Take your medicine; get out of the rough and back into the fairway.
5. Practice your short game more now than ever.
6. Be firmer with your putting stroke. If you miss it should go by the hole a foot or two.

If you think about the above tips as you play and practice you will endure the beginning of the transition to the summer grass.
