👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 Family Greens: Putting Drill with Your Kids

They say the family that golfs together stays together. Make it a family event.  

The Ladder Drill for Putting:

• Equipment: Painter's tape or chalk.

• Setup: Use the tape or chalk to create a ladder with 5 rungs on the putting green, each rung about one foot apart.

• Action: Your child starts by putting the ball to the first rung. Once successful, they move to the next rung. The objective is to putt the ball to stop within each segment of the ladder in sequence.

• Purpose: This drill helps kids develop control over their putting distance, improving their feel and accuracy on the greens.

💪🏼 Swing Into Shape: Top Golf Fitness Exercises

If golf were just about swinging clubs, we’d all be sporting green jackets.

Reality check: it's also about fitness.

💵From Bogeys to Bridies: Smart Money Moves!

1. Eyes on the Prize (Budget Like a Boss):

   • Golf: Scoping out the green before a putt? Essential.

   • Finance: Treat your budget like a caddy's book; know it inside out. Anticipate your financial curves and plan your cash swing with care.

2. Get Your Reps In (Savings Drill):

   • Golf: Endless putts on the practice green hone your touch.

   • Finance: Make saving a no-brainer. Automate that stash-away cash like muscle memory, and watch your nest egg grow.

3. Precision Play (Investment Strategy):

   • Golf: Lining up a tricky putt demands your sharpest focus.

   • Finance: Aim your investments with intent. Diversify your portfolio like you’re picking clubs for a champion’s bag—each with a purpose.

Oh no. We’ve all been there.

Yes, this was me today; I had a shot for an eagle on Hole 15 at Callippe Reserve golf course. Don’t let this happen to you.
