PGA Pro Thor Parrish’s Tips for Staying Fit at Home

Your normal workout routines may be in flux, but that doesn’t mean you can’t continue to keep yourself in shape so you’re ready to play your best when you hit the course.
Coach Thor Parrish from Quail Creek Country Club in Naples, Florida, says it is important for golfers to focus on four key areas with each of their workouts. 1. Warm Up 2. Golf Specific exercises 3. Workout of the day (General Fitness) 4. Stretch
Parrish runs the ‘Play for Life’ program, which focuses on golfers improving their golf game and fitness so they can play the game longer and better.

2020 Masters Tournament Postponed

Statement from Fred Ridley, Chairman of Augusta National Golf Club:
On Wednesday, March 4, we issued a memo stating that our plans to host the Masters Tournament, the Augusta National Women’s Amateur and the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals had not changed. Unfortunately, the ever-increasing risks associated with the widespread Coronavirus COVID-19 have led us to a decision that undoubtedly will be disappointing to many, although I am confident is appropriate under these unique circumstances.
Considering the latest information and expert analysis, we have decided at this time to postpone the Masters Tournament, the Augusta National Women’s Amateur and the Drive, Chip and Putt National Finals.
Ultimately, the health and well-being of everyone associated with these events and the citizens of the Augusta community led us to this decision. We hope this postponement puts us in the best position to safely host the Masters Tournament and our amateur events at some later date.
We will continue to work with the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Office of the Governor, the Georgia Department of Public Health, the City of Augusta and all other local authorities. We are grateful to all of these entities for their exceptional efforts and guidance.
We recognize this decision will affect many people, including our loyal patrons. Your patience as we make every effort to communicate effectively and efficiently is appreciated, and we will share any additional information as soon as it becomes available. Updates also will be posted to our website, Masters.com.
As COVID-19 continues to impact the lives of people everywhere, we seek your understanding of this decision and know you share our concern given these trying times. Thank you for your faithful support.
