iStock_000041846300_Medium-726x400.jpg
The first time you play golf can be intimidating and stressful. Here are some tips for beginners to make it a little easier and a little more comfortable for the first time.

Play with a Friend

If you have a good friend that is an experienced golfer, try to arrange a tee time for the both of you. That way, they can give you some tips on maneuvering around the golf course. The worst thing you can do is play with other beginners. The only thing that you’ll learn is that the people behind you seem to be really upset about something. The next best thing to playing with a friend is to play by yourself during times when the course is not very crowded.

Equipment

If you are getting ready to go on the course for the first time, then you probably have clubs and a bag so just make sure you have everything else that you need. Have plenty of golf balls and you can purchase used golf balls off the internet at very reasonable prices. Initially brands don’t matter. Be sure and have plenty of tees and ball markers, along with a divot repair tool to fix ball marks on the green with. Also include other items depending on the weather such as sun screen and it’s always a good idea to have a few Band-Aids just in case.

Teeing Off

On the teeing ground, you have to place your ball between the tee markers, either even with them or up to two club-lengths behind them. Tee markers can be any variety of things, but are usually small, colored cones of some sort or some other similar indicator. As a beginner, look at the scorecard and see which set of tees are the shortest and play from them if possible. If you are joining a group, just play from where they play from for speed of play reasons.  It may also be a good idea to hit a club you feel most comfortable off the first tee if you are a little nervous.

Golf Carts

If golf carts are involved, be sure to put your bag on the passenger side. You will need to observe where to drive the cart and where to park it. Be sure and pay attention to the directional markers or arrows showing where to enter and exit the fairway.

Skateboarding and Longboarding on and Around Campus

Even though alternative transportation is rampant on Whitman’s small campus, only a handful of Whitman students skateboard. Whether longboarding to class or skating for leisure, those who own boards on campus represent a small fraction of the student body. Whitman’s campus isn’t exactly ideal for the sport. For skateboarding you mainly just need an open, rarely frequented area with various obstacles and terrain. If there is a skatepark nearby, obviously that is a large draw, but for Whitman students, the nearest park is in College Place. On campus, skaters use the small area outside of Olin Hall or can be seen behind North Hall practicing tricks. As for longboarding, all one really needs is a hilly area that is hopefully nicely paved, ideally with not much traffic.  In Walla Walla, serious elevation change is something of a rarity, so most long boarders on campus mainly direct their hobby toward getting to class. However, there are students who do manage to find places off ca...

If you are pregnant, or trying to conceive, you know that taking folic acid is essential for the healthy development of your baby. But according to the World Health Organization, vitamin B12 is just as important in preventing neural tube and other neurological defects in infants and unfortunately as many as 1 in 20 adults is deficient in this essential vitamin.

"A deficiency is associated with increased risk for several adverse pregnancy outcomes for both mother and fetus.
