This is my year. This is the year I play solid and smart golf. I’m currently a 20.7. That number is soft. My goal is a 10 handicap by the end of the year. I've been a high handicapper for as long as I've been playing. The best I've ever been is a 16. I’m going to do better. Being selected by THP for the Srixon Experience has me excited beyond all belief. But it also has me nervous. I want to play well and get the most out of the experience.
I took my first lesson in October, and it was an eye opener. I’ve had 4 so far and it has made a huge difference. My biggest swing faults were an OTT swing and an open club face. This led to poor contact and inconsistency. My instructor has completely changed my swing. I’m still working on lots of things, but I’m happy with where I'm headed and where I am. The scores just haven’t shown up yet.
Health and fitness are going to be a priority. I’ve started working out and losing weight. I bought a carry bag and plan to use it anytime I play 9. I have a pushcart for 18. I do stretches daily and switch off running and doing a simple dumbbell workout every other day. I plan on this evolving as needed and with time and knowledge. And being selected by THP to test and review the SuperSpeed system has me motivated to maximize its benefits.
There is a chance I join a golf club this year. It has a pool for the family and has been discussed as a possibility. Family can swim and I can play 9. If not, I have a decent selection of quality courses and some reasonably priced options near me that will allow me to play lots of rounds.
I’ll post some swing videos at some point, scores, handicap updates, and some other stuff. It's going to be a great year!
