Golf Lesson #1 of the Season

OK, so I finally made time to schedule my first golf lesson of the season. I usually take a series of 4-5 lessons each summer to head off any new bad habits and to work on my technique. My boyfriend got me a package of lessons last fall for my birthday and I'm just now getting around to using them. They are with a different pro this year and so far I am very happy with his choice. They are with the Linc Golf & Wellness Center here at the Overland Golf Course in Denver. My LPGA instructor is Kathleen Heiney and she is great. All of my previous lessons have been with male instructors, so this is a completely different experience. While they showed me what I should be doing, Kathleen showed me HOW to do what I should be doing. For the first lesson, she mainly worked with adjusting my grip, posture, and some tweaks to my swing. It is amazing how just a few small changes can make such great improvements! The main thing she stressed was to RELAX. That is something I've always struggled with - relaxing on the golf course. I always feel rushed or stressed because people are watching me or waiting for me. Those few times where the golf course isn't crowded and I'm playing only with people I know, I play so much better than usual. Duh!

Stay tuned for lesson 2!

My New Favorite Golf Sunglasses!

I just received a pair of the brand new LiveEyewear Quatro Acadia sunglasses the other day and they are already my absolute favorite pair of sunglasses! I already have several pairs of sport glasses, but these are by far now the most fashionable of the bunch. They are also very lightweight and flatter my face shape (I normally have a hard time finding glasses that look good!). The first thing I noticed when I put them on was how incredible the lenses are (I have the copper lenses). They are great in both bright and low light conditions. With my old glasses (with copper lenses), I normally have to take them off in the parking garage to be able to see what I'm doing. These, however, are tinted just right so that I can still see very clearly, even in the very low light of the parking garage. I am very impressed! Did I mention that I also love the extra styling they gave these glasses? All around, I am very impressed. Finally, a pair of sport sunglasses that are stylish and budget friendly (only $49.95!). I've paid 3 times as much for sport sunglasses that I didn't like as much as these. The LiveEyewear Quatro Acadia is available in black or tortoise with copper or gray lenses.
