Better Golf CIARAN CARR ON TRAINING THE BRAIN Arnold Palmer once said: “Golf is a game of inches. The most important are the six inches between your ears.” This famous Palmer quote perfectly emphasizes the mental aspects of the game. While teaching philosophies and swing theories may vary, it’s important that PGA of America professionals recognize and embrace the roles they play in developing the mental fortitude of their students. Local Tracks City Game Kristy Edwards knows the Chicago Park District’s municipal golf courses better than most. After a career in teaching and publishing, she became assistant manager at South Shore Golf Course in 2015, and then went on to manage courses at Marquette Park and Columbus Park. Today she oversees both South Shore and Jackson Park Golf Course, which turns 125 this year and hosts the 119th Chicago City Amateur championship in July.
