'tis the Season for the Leaf Rule!

Several years ago, comic actor Leslie Nielson did a golf video focused on two principals:

1. If you suck at golf, you're in good company since over 95 percent of recreational golfers shoot in the high 90's or triple digits.
2. You need to make the Rules of Golf work FOR you. In other words, Cheat!

An example of the latter takes the Leaf Rule one step further... anytime you have a "lost" ball, declare it a "stolen" ball and take no penalty. Here's how it works... Eventually, your lost ball will be found by someone who will make no attempt to find it's rightful owner... making it a STOLEN ball. Thus, No Penalty!

Well, it's still hot in sunny Minnesota but the leaves are soon to fall so get the balls from your shag bag - the ones you won't care to waste time looking for!

And, start thinking about winter golf escapes! My golf travel company - Gateway Golf Vacations - has a great November Special at the famed Doral in Miami. Also, we are already getting orders for winter golf at the Gold Canyon Golf Resort near Phoenix... many from returning clients we've sent there numerous times before. It's a terrific value! Here are the details.

Happy Ball Hunting!
