Golf Tip for the
Month…
“Taking care of the
course during the
winter months”
2016
Club
Champion
How can you help keep the golf course
playable during the winter months?
# 1 Ball
in golf
....and used by many of
our champions at
The Wilmington Island Club!

Keeping carts on the paths within 50 yards of
the green or using green post as your guide.

Filling in divots with sand and fixing ball marks.

Avoid driving golf carts in wet and shady
areas (ex. Left of #3 green)
Kyle McGinnis
One of the major reasons for the grass to lay
flat during the cooler
months is due to cart
tires rolling the blades
of grass. This type of
motion flattens the
grass which makes the
short game shots more
difficult.

Tis the season to be jolly…..and gain weight, too!
Don’t let this happen to you… Start the holiday feasting by watching those portion sizes
and get moving! At least 20 minutes everyday and maybe the first thing on your New
Year’s Resolution List this year won’t be to lose those extra pounds!
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah and New Year!
