Well, where do I go from here? My short term goal for the winter is of course to keep my index below 10.0. That's going to be a easier said than done. The cold weather and the wet course conditions that reduce roll out will be tough. I want to dedicate more work to my short game, putting and greenside bunker play. These are my weakest areas and with improvement will contribute to achieving my short term goal.
I haven't even begun to think about long term goals. The first one that comes to mind goes back to my childhood. My dad was a very good golfer. He took up the game late in life at age 38, which was about the time I was born. He took to the game, fell in love and quickly improved. He maintained a HDCP index between 4 and 7 throughout the years he taught me the game and until his early death at age 60, when I was just 21 years old. It would be an honor for me to say that I played the game at his level, so I guess that's my next goal, get to "7".
I have the same longterm goal,I too want to be a strong player like my Dad.It will take me quite a while.Good luck with the Winter golf.I suppose in some ways it's a blessing that we can't record from Mid Nov to March here in DC.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dawn. Golf is a game that creates such connections with our fathers when they were the ones that taught us the game. I still think about tips he taught me.
ReplyDeleteBarry,
ReplyDeleteLove the Blog...Lets get together soon and discuss getting better seriously. I am starting Monday with a lifestyle change. Diet, Exercise, No Booz (for a while). I can help you with that sand play you mention if you can give me some pointers on TEMPO.
