For most of us, the golf season is at an end and it is time to move on to ‘winter activities’. This means Take out a piece of paper and write down what your handicap index was at the start of the season and what it finished at. If your handicap index decreased, write down which part of your game had the most improvement (for most of you it will probably be some area of your short game) and which part of your game you know still needs work to help you lower your scores even more. Now write down ‘See my golf coach in the spring for more guidance’. If your handicap stayed about the same, write down what you think the reason was… injured, new job, new baby, didn’t play, didn’t practice, ‘don’t know’, etc., and then write down ‘Take golf lessons in the spring’! If your handicap index increased, jot down why you think your game went downhill and then write the words ‘TAKE GOLF LESSONS IN THE SPRING’! Now take this piece of paper and put it in your golf bag where you will find it first thing next time you grab your clubs. I recommend putting it inside of your golf glove.
Make sure to bring this piece of paper with you to your first golf lesson in the spring and we will use it to help create the ‘game plan’ of learning and practice that will allow you to play your best golf ever…
