Work Now, Play Later
By

Work now, play later. Something your boss would say? Your parents? Your spouse? What about your golf instructor?
To improve your game, be effective using this three-step approach before spring.
First, evaluate last season. How many fairways did you average hitting per round? How many greens? How many up and downs (saves)? How many penalty shots did you average per round? How many putts? How many three putts? What was the best distance for you to two putt from? Did you score better or worse? Did you meet your expectations? If not, were your expectations realistic? Did you have the 3 necessary requirements to meet those expectations: 1) understand your game and tendencies; 2) have a plan to improve; and 3) match the amount of time you practiced with the expectations?
Secondly, from looking at last season, what do you want to concentrate on for this year? How much time are you willing to devote to it today and for the year?
What is it going to take to meet those improvement goals?
Third, set out and act on your plan to improve. The great players and TOUR players use the off-season to do this. Identify problems from last season; identify goals and areas of improvement and do the work to make the changes now. Apply these principles to your game and you can WORK NOW and PLAY LATER. Work hard now and when the spring and summer tournament seasons come around you will be ready to play. Then instead of using part of the season to make changes, you are using that time to get check ups and maintain the changes you made in the off season.
