Mike's Tip for Wet Weather Play

When playing golf in wet weather, prioritize keeping dry, maintaining a good grip, and adjusting your game. Use waterproof gear, including a rain jacket, pants, and shoes, to stay dry and comfortable. Pack a towel to keep clubs and hands dry.

Adjust your swing to account for less roll and club up ( if you would normally use a 7 iron, use a 6 iron) to compensate for the reduced distance. Play firm chips and putts, and play more conservatively, aiming for the centre of the green.

Well done to last weeks winner, Howard Chellew. The answer was Tennis.

An avid golfer went to his priest and asked if there were any golf courses in Heaven.

The priest said he would find out for him.

The next day the priest called the golfer and said, “I’ve done some checking and there’s some good news and some bad news.” 

 The golfer asked for the good news first.

“Well,” said the priest, “the good news is that there definitely are golf courses in Heaven.” 

“And, the bad news?” the golfer asked. 

The priest paused a moment and replied, “You’ve got a tee-time next Sunday.”
