Play With People Who Are Better Than You

Posted from Nashville, Tennessee--

When I was young, I played a lot of chess.  I quickly discovered that the best way to improve was to play people who were better than me.  This isn't a bad approach to learning anything, including the game of golf.

I received a great tip from a great player yesterday.  Jeff Lichty invited me to play the famous Shepherd's Hollow Golf Course in Clarkston, Michigan.  Shepherd's Hollow is rated by Golf Digest as the 37th best public course in the country and I really enjoyed the day. 

Jeff offered me a simple, yet very effective golf tip that helped my game almost instantly.  His advice:
Swing slowly.

Try to hang around with people who are better than you and you will become better.
