My friend and fellow golf blogger Brad Chambers is celebrating an anniversary today. One year ago, he published Think Better, Play Smarter and Manage Your Way to Better Golf Scores, an every-player’s guide to preparing yourself for mental obstacles that face us on our chosen field of battle, the golf course. Brad, who maintains the web site Shooting Your Age, takes the game seriously enough to think deeply about the details that can spell the difference between a good round and a disappointing one.
        I especially like Brad’s common sense approaches to pre-golf routines and on-course thinking and all the other vagaries that combine to make golf rewarding and maddening, often in equal measures. His advice will help you subtract the maddening and enjoy the rewards.
        Think Better, Play Smarter is available at Amazon.com.
        As Brad likes to say, it will cost you about half of a bucket of range balls. As I like to say, it is likely to be twice as helpful.

        The July edition of our newsletter, Home On The Course, will mail tomorrow morning to subscribers. The main feature is about how the definition of a “bargain” golf home is changing. We also share examples of current bargains for sale in a few of the best golf communities in the Southeast.
        But the part of the newsletter I am most excited about is an invitation to a Zoom presentation that I will give next Wednesday. It is sponsored by the Simsbury, CT, Public Library near my hometown and titled, “Finding Your Dream Golf Home in the Sunbelt.” Because there is a limit to the number of participants via Zoom, I am opening the invitation to Home On The Course subscribers only. 
        Please subscribe today to be able to sign up for this one-hour presentation scheduled for 4 pm EDT on July 15.
        I look forward to seeing you then.
