Love the New Year! Another fresh start is upon us. For some of you, this means waiting for spring to hit your first shot of the year. For hearty others, your shot will come while traipsing through the snow with an orange ball. And for those of you in warm climates, you may have already hit your first shots of 2013!
My wish for a happy new year, holds the exhortation to FORGET last year and start fresh. Look back to evaluate and set a new course, (pun intended), then "fore-ge" ahead. Be realistic and have high hopes as well. Golf gives us heights and depths all in a 2-4 hour period. A slice of life. Know that the lousy shots will come, but approach every shot with hope.
Keep moving forward and don't get discouraged. Steady forward progress is what you are looking for. Is there anything in your golf game, that you are repeating, just because it's all you know, or all you've ever done? Be courageous and be willing to let go of your mediocre, but safe habits and routines, and venture out into new territory.
If you are an "elderly canine," (old dog ), you CAN learn new tricks. Keep shooting for strong and sound fundamentals. True, there are a lot of ways to hit a golf ball. But all very good players, do many things the same. Get to your foundation and if it hasn't been built on the right cornerstone, opt for rebuilding. It will take some work, but it will serve you well for the rest of your golf life!
Happy New Course and Year!
Fore you, Sue
