One of the upgrades that I personally like is the addition of the new National Golf Network (www.ngn.com) handicap system being offered at all of the WP properties. Because your score is our business at the Institute, we have found a system that will help you:  • Establish your USGA handicap  • Check scores 24hr/7days/12 months a year at any internet ready computer or WP golf shop  • Post scores for any course in the United States  • Keep track of your statistics     - Putts per round     - Fairways in regulation     - Greens in regulation     - Sand save percentage     - Average driving length  • Keep track of your equipment from clubs to gloves to shoes  • Create your own league or e-mail your playing partners As an instructor I'm always amazed at the difference between what golfers think they are doing and what they are doing. I think it's a great opportunity for all of us to statistically and not emotionally see where our strengths and weakness are (see June 2003 tip). After that is established you can work on your game accordingly. With the addition of this new service you'll be able to track as much or as little of your game as you'd like. I encourage everyone to check out the web site and sign up for the year using one of the WP properties as your home club. The cost is $25.00 for the year. If you have played over the winter go ahead and enter your scores and start enjoying this new service. Good luck and see you on the course!
