As far as New Year's resolutions, I simply think the beginning of the year is a practical time to assess one's goals in life - whatever they may be - and, often the missing piece, determine how to achieve. Relative to golf, my goal shouldn't be of any surprise:
GOAL = Reduce my average 18 hole score 5 strokes over 2004 end of season.
How do I plan to do so?
1. Sustain and improve the swing I became extremely comfortable and confident with towards the end of this season by working out with my modified swing trainer daily.
2. Hone a recently discovered putting method, in which I have already have significantly improved confidence, over the winter.
3. Come spring, daily chipping (50 yards and shorter) practice onto a target on the lawn.
Can't wait for the 2005 season.
Have a no three putt new year!
