A New Year's Realization

Now that Christmas has passed, and the New Year is upon us, most aim for resolutions.  I'm aiming for realizations.  Since it's been over two months that I've updated anyone on the progress of my golf game, I've come to realize that winter takes a toll on us all.

As humans, we literally deteriorate without strong sunshine spurring us on.  Although golf is played under these rays of warmth, I promised anyway to press on in their absence. 

And considering I was constantly asked how I would manage my pursuit of golf perfection in the winter, I write now with my tail between my legs.  These last two months have reinforced how hard the game of golf is, even when you're not on the course.

Living in the four-seasoned northeast, it's a challenge to get six months of golf in, never mind twelve.  But by opening up my thoughts to you all, I've cornered myself into trying nevertheless. 

So here we go. 

For the holidays, I received an array of golf gear oriented around the improvement of my game. 

For starters, a new driver to replace the one that saw its head fly farther than the flight of its counter, the ball, 150-yards during a range visit. 

Next, five lessons to help fine tune some areas that I can't seem to do on my own.  These five sessions have, by themselves, inspired me to report back to you at this time.  Because without you, what's the good of bettering my game if I can't share it here. 

Finally, besides the usual stocking of balls and tees, I was given two books that I believe will, individually, elevate my game to new heights.  They're both by the same author, Dr. Joe Parent, and concentrate on the relationship of the body and mind.  The first delves into all things golf; the last around putting. 

But as we all know, books will not lead us to our final destination.  It's the physical practice that's going to provide the best outcomes.  So with all this in mind, I plan to ring in the New Year with a steady diet of range visits coupled with body and mind synchronizations. 

I figure it'll be about ten weeks before an actual course visit can occur.  Until then, the goal is seven to eight range visits with at least five reports here. 

In this time, I'll be reading both my new books, and hope to implement the understanding of the body and mind relationship before receiving my first of five lessons.  By that point, it's back to the course. 

Where hopefully, 2010 will give us a day in the low 80s. 

And I'm not referring to the weather. 

Hours of practice: 333
