STRATEGIES ON PLAYING A NEW COURSE
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to play a very nice private golf course for the first time. The Country Club of Sapphire Valley is a beautiful mountain golf course in the western North Carolina mountains. The Head Professional was a great host for our group, providing us everything we needed to prepare for our round. We all warmed up on the practice range, hit some pitch shots in the short game area and finally tried to adjust to the fast and true greens. Looking out on to the first fairway from the tee box, we were all excited to test our skills on such a fine layout.
