am to be there and to be able to share it with
my friends and family. Positive thoughts
will get you a long way to a better round
on the course.
So, it feels great to learn about all the
new Hot List equipment we may or may
not need each year, but keep in mind the
things we know will definitely help us enjoy
golf more.
Feeling up to the game is so important. I
can’t imagine if my physical being wouldn’t

recreation—not work, not a job, just pure
unadulterated fun.
Create your own Hot List, and I bet you’ll
enjoy golf more and more. As for me, I’ll be
watching every flake of snow melting off my
home course, just waiting to feed my addiction.
