Happy National Golf Month!!!

While we may not be able to help you play like pro, here are a few quick tips to help you prepare like one.  

Always stretch before doing any physical activity.

Take the time to apply sunscreen. Reapply as needed throughout the day.

It is HOT outside! Make sure to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

Golf courses are very busy, so watch for flying golf balls!

Always remember to push down the brake on your golf cart!

Don’t forget to bring an extra pair of golf pants (or two); you never know when you might get a hole in one!

Now you’re ready! Tee up at your favorite golf course, and enjoy National Golf Month!
