Golf is a unique sport. Unlike other sports, no two golf courses are exactly alike. Football, baseball, basketball, hockey and soccer field dimensions are uniform, fitting exact specifications no matter where you are.
But in golf, the diameter of greens are never the same. Some are smaller, some bigger, rarely are they perfectly round. Not to mention the pin is never in the same position. Distances, hazards, trees, each golf course has its own challenges and aesthetics. Golf's uniqueness remains steadfast. Only a few number of athletes get to compete in professional baseball or football. But golf is unique. We golfers compete until late in life - long after our prime in other sports has passed. No matter if we possess a scratch handicap or one above 40, strategizing, yardage calculation, and other course management routines continue in our heads for every shot we take. Its amazing, for a sport to be dominated by such a wide variety of individuals and levels of playing ability. Food for thought...
NO, things do NOT get worse before they get better and NO, a golf lesson (or clinic) isn't about re-engineering your swing! Space Coast Junior Golf Tour is still happening!
Interesting articles...
(I'm not endorsing, only offering food for thought) Remembering my Mom..
Thank you... and thanks to my Mom..
Recently, my mother passed away (it still feels 'recent'). I want to thank my friends and students who have been supportive with hugs, prayers, words of encouragement, sympathy, and understanding. While my family and I are still grieving (and from what friends have shared, we tend to grieve the loss of our parents for nearly the rest of our days), our lives here must go on. Mom would have been saying "for goodness sake, just get back out there". :-) Thank you again. ~ With love and appreciation ~ Tracy |

I'm a Viper!
August 2017 - I'm excited to announce that I'm the new golf coach for the boys golf team at Space Coast Jr/Sr High School of Port St. John! I'm a VIPER! ~~HISSSS~~
If you are a resident of The Great Outdoors you may have seen me at the range or on the course with the girls and boys SCHS teams. I love being able to offer my experience and suggestions with both the boys and girls team. Jessica Mounts is the new coach for the girls team. She's also a golfer and I'm looking forward to getting to know her better. She's a local girl like I am. ;-)
I'm hopeful that in this short season we can help the teams hone their skills. The season is short (it's already started!) and the first match is August 24th. If you're interested in following the team I've created a "Space Coast High School Golf Teams" Facebook page. The schedule, results, and pictures will be posted there.
The teams need gear! In the past parents were responsible for buying uniforms and basic golf gear. I'm organizing a fundraising tournament to raise funds so the load will be partially (and hopefully FULLY) taken off the parents shoulders. I'm a Mom of two boys.. Elementary and Middle school.. I know how expensive things can be. I hope everyone will consider donating. Keep an eye out here for the info!
GO VIPERS!
