Walking the Walk
Well, it is almost April and I haven't made it onto the golf course yet. I did hit a bucket of balls about two weeks ago. But more importantly, I have been walking about twice a week for the past four weeks. Tonight, even though it was cool and windy, I walked around Abraham Lincoln High School, which is 2.5 miles. When the weather hasn't permitted walking outdoors, I have been walking one-and-a-half laps around Franklin Mills Mall. This is helping me build up some leg strength, which is important for the golf swing, as well as preparing me for walking the course in the very near future. And believe it or not, I am actually considering trying to do some light yoga a couple of times a week as well! This should supplement my fitness, as well as provide me some flexibility, which is also important in the golf swing.

Hitting the First Balls of the Year
Burholme Golf Center
401 Cottman Avenue
Philadelphia, Pa
215/742-2380
Wednesday night I headed to Burholme Golf Center and hit my first bucket of balls this season.
Since this was my first time out, I decided a small bucket for $5 would be sufficient. This gave me about 35 balls to hit. I stretched and swung my SpeedStik to warm up, then hit a few wedges. After that, I hit my 7-Wood, 4-Wood and Driver. Towards the end of my session, the twilight sky made it darn near impossible to see where I was hitting the ball. The young kid in the stall next to me had a large bucket and offered me some of his balls for a few minor tips I gave him. I took about 10 and hit them with my hybrid. Overall, it just felt good to be hitting golf balls again!
