From the scratch player with professional Easpirations to the 30-handicap who only plays in charity scrambles and everyone in between, we all want to lower our scores. The desire to get better is a bond all golfers share. Another is an openness the best players have about helping others improve. Those who have achieved the moniker of “champion” always seem ready to share some knowledge and experience. That certainly is true with our group of reigning major champions. They understand the work they put in leading up to their most important tournaments often dictates how they’ll perform. Preparation is vital, and no two players do it exactly the same. With hopes you can steal an idea or tip for yourself, we asked six of our 2015 champions about how they prepare for major tournaments. In the following pages, you’ll learn how John Grace, Michael Cotton, Annika Clark, Ryan Grider, Mike Booker and Scott Abbot get themselves ready for their biggest events. We hope you can learn something from them that helps you play your best golf this year. >> TEXAS GOLF ASSOCIATION | MAR-APR 2016 PLAY John Grace | Fort Worth 2015 Texas Super Senior Champion One Month to Championship: Play rounds of golf, possibly at the site of the tournament.
