It hurts to say this but. . . Summer is over. The kids are going to school again, the nice weather in the north is going south and golf Now it’s over us (don’t make me wrong, autumn golf is amazing). We are also getting in to that time of the year when you will start listening to new gear drivers, putrers, balls, cuffs, all. Until the first week in January, that complication of the Intel with a new release will take place an attack (covered at a Jedi level by my team) that can lead to possible confusion and fomo.
Here is the deal, though: all that new technology can be fun and, yes, they actually serve an important role to help you improve. Here’s what you need to know.
Truth
We all want to play good golf.
I’ve never met a golf player who blooms to play bad golf. (If that person exists, I imagine that his or her IG account is building steam.) One of the keys to playing good golf is to be honest for parts of your bag that just doesn’t work. This may mean a club you can’t completely hit (never), a club you are forcing yourself to “do work” or a club that serves no the intention of the gapetc.
Trying to solve these issues by blindly buying the latest and largest outfit is not the right way. I know, I’m that guy. However, you can start attacking the areas in your game that is holding you back. Addressing the defects of the shakes and technicians, of course, can help a tone in this front, but being smart for your equipment is essential.
What to ask yourself
During the fall, I will make a noise with a bunch of tips I have learned in the tournament on how to prepare for the next season. This may seem a little intense for non-Golf lunatics, but if you read the “truth” above, then you will understand why it matters to all players. Here are 5 questions to ask yourself:
- What kind of season have you had? If you are in the GHIN app, you will find a split of all your rounds and results. You can also trace any memory or visible shots, and if part of your game was in tendency at the time, we hope you have scored it too.
- What are you doing well? By which we mean which parts of your game have been CONTINUALLY Solid, not the days or moments of the unicorn? Which part of your game stood out this season and why?
- What are you doing wrong? That’s great. If you inhale, say it aloud! Golf is elusive enough to not add fraud to the mix. If you know your weaknesses, expose what you can choose for them.
- What are your goals? Write your goals. I always saw the improvement as a contract – after signing it, I don’t want to violate an agreement with myself (I stole this from Kobe Bryant). Your goals for next year should be specific. I want to win my club championship, I want to compete again, I want to get into single figuresetc.
- What do you want to try? If you are like me and look with wide eyes on ANY New part of gears, start setting a list of things you want to “try” with a more convenient. Don’t buy. We are not there yet.
Should I feel good with my game before investing in new clubs?
Different schools of thought here, but I will say yes and no. Yes, it helps if you are hitting the ball rigidly and your game is in a good place. But you can also argue that you have to build a bag or a club around your worse form Tpi AND Decent The appropriate videos I have shot lately: I was hitting it as bad as I have in years, but testing/adaptation was useful because I knew the clubs were working great when I was not only fighting the technique but also injured (shoulder damage).
However, I have been able to build a bag that I know will work on happy and dark days.
So how can I know when I need new sticks?
We will get to the most depth in the other installment of this series, but, for beginners, it is important to look at your bag in terms of non-negotiators. Each club in your bag should appear and do its job if you feel like Sam snead or murder on the road. If you start watching your game through that lens, this will be a fun exercise.
But the first things first: decide where you are today and where you want to be a year from now.
