Prepare To Be Your Best in 2010

If you are one of the many golfers who have been at the same level for too long, and have a burning desire to improve then use the winter to reflect and analyse your performance over this past season. Really take the time to think through the strengths and weaknesses of your game just how a business does at the end of each year. It is in the winter time we can really prepare ourselves for the upcoming year. Now is the chance to create that plan and really make an effort to change the most important weakness in your game, but don't fall into the trap of making all aspects better. Become a master at one element whilst just maintaining the others.

Phil Mickleson a few years ago went from in the mid eighties for sand saves to third, he did this with the help of his coach Dave Pelz telling him the average bunker shot around the green is only 10 yards. Knowing this Phil practiced many hours the 10 yard bunker shot trying to get as many balls inside a three feet circle as possible. He improved so much just through focused practice and understanding where he had to get to.

So when reflecting upon your game, don't just think about the way you play think how you practice to. It may be as simple as changing your focus and your practice!
