The Mandate of the Education position on the Women's Executive is to "educate the Women's Section on the Rules of Golf, tips and fun facts of the game."  

I admit until June of this year I wasn't aware of the "tips" part of the position.  In the past I have focussed on the Rules and posted some fun facts on the history of North Halton.  So although we are into September I am going to post some tips under the "it's never too late to learn" category.

PLAYING SMART GOLF

After you put your ball on the tee do you have a target?  And I don't mean the middle of the fairway or the right side.  It's really important to have a SPECIFIC target.  I once was fortunate enough to partner in a match with Marlene Stewart Streit - Canada's finest Amateur and only Canadian member of the World Golf Hall of Fame.  

On one tee she asked what my target was and I replied "the red maple".  She then asked me "what leaf?!"  That's how a Champion thinks.  Give it a try.
