The Georgia Club Golf Tip of the Month -- Warm Up Before You Tee Off




This month's Golf Tip comes courtesy of Mike O'Malley, Head Golf Professional at The Georgia Club.


One of the most crucial points in any athletic endeavor is the warm up. Golf is very similar to other sports in that it does help to warm up prior to playing. After a long, cold, wet winter, getting ready for your golf game requires strength and flexibility. A great way to start the season off and to avoid injury is to focus on the short game by hitting short pitch shots and chip shots. This is a great way to get your timing and ball striking back on track and it also allows your body to adjust from a long layoff.

If you have any questions regarding how or where to get started, please give us a call at 770-725-8101 or send us an e-mail.

Enjoy the cool weather and we'll see you on the practice tee. Don't forget that the Professional Golf Staff at The Georgia Club is always here to help and is available for lessons.
