Golf Tips: Set Goals

Today's Tuesday tip will be a quick one, as we at Frogger are making the trip from the west coast to the east coast and the 2012 PGA Merchandise Show.  If you're at the show, come by booth #3653 and say hello. Now onto today's short, but very useful tip. Set Goals How many times have you gone to the range and aimlessly hit ball after ball, even bucket after bucket?  How long has your handicap stayed the same?  How long has your putting been the same old same old? It is an excellent idea to set goals regarding your golf game.  Give those formerly aimless practice sessions some purpose.  I'd break the goals into small and big goals. Big goals would be something like decreasing your handicap from an 18 to a 9, shooting lower scores, winning the club championship etc. Small goals will make the big goals come easy. Break up your game into some smaller categories and make some individual goals for each category.  Here are a few sample goals.

• Improve putting distance control
• Decrease three putts per round
• Increase up and down percentage around the greens
• Increase greens in regulation percentage
• Increase driving accuracy
• Increase driving distance
• Improve course management
• Eliminate blowup holes

By setting smaller, categorized goals and reaching them, the bigger goals like shooting lower scores will come automatically.
