New Year’s Resolutions for Golfers
Golf Tips

It’s that time again for golfers to make their New Year’s resolutions for next season. Here are some ideas to get you started:

For the New Golfers

* Hit it straight: Slow down that swing, place those hands correctly, and hit the ball straight. There is no more satisfying thing in golf that watching the ball fly straight off the tee.
* Temper, temper: Learn some self control when on the golf course. No one likes golfing with a club thrower.

For the Weekend Warriors

* Learn courtesy: This may seem like a foreign language to many weekend warriors but this year try to be a bit more courteous to other golfers. Maybe you should yell fore when your tee shot is headed towards the group on the next green.
* Remember – The ball is not your enemy: The ball is not your enemy, so stop trying to kill it. Most of the duffs, shags, shanks, and just plain bad shots made by weekend warriors happen because of swinging the club way too hard. Slow down and create a nice and even swing. You will be pleased with the results.

For our Future Touring Pros Who Aren’t Quite Pros Yet

* One step at a time: Everyone wants to improve their golf game but you want to really take it to the next level. The best thing for you to do is pace yourself. You aren’t winning the US Open this year but that doesn’t mean you cannot take small steps in that direction. One step at a time and you will find yourself one step closer to your goal.
* Practice, practice, practice: Your game is not going to get any better unless you work on it. Find the time each day to work on your swing and always consult the advice of a professional if you are truly serious about improving.

Most likely you’ve heard all this before, but just focus on one of these actions for your golf resolution will make a huge change in how well you play the game and how much you enjoy it.
