New Year’s Resolutions for Golfers

2022 is here! For many people, the new year is a great time to reflect on the past year and come up with goals to reach in the coming year. Here are our recommendations for the best new year’s resolutions for golfers.

Commit to Your Short Game

Most golfers don’t spend enough time practicing their short game, but committing to spending time regularly on your short game will make a world of difference to your overall performance on the course. Make a point of really prioritizing your short game with putting practice every week and watch your scores improve!

Perfect Your Fundamentals

Take just a few minutes every day to work on your golf grip and posture. These fundamentals are super important to your game but many people don’t spend much time on them, even though they are easy to practice at home. The more you practice using the right grip and perfecting your form, the more you will form a habit and begin naturally using the best grip and the best posture when you play golf.

Have More Fun

Sure, improving your game is a great goal for this year, but how about not getting so caught up in your score and just enjoying the game for the love of it? Make it a priority this year to enjoy the little things you love about golfing–the trees on the course, the camaraderie of golfing with friends, the quiet solitude of golfing alone. Remember what initially appealed to you about the sport and revel in that–after all, this game is supposed to be for fun, so enjoy it!

Experiment with Different Balls

Many amateur golfers simply pick one type of golf ball and stick with it forever, but that can be really limiting to your game. This year, make a point of breaking out of your golf-ball comfort zone and try some golf balls you’ve never tried before. Do you usually go for a very soft feel? Try something a little firmer and see how it plays for you. Always use balls with high spin? Give low spin a whirl. A great, low-stakes way to try out new types of balls is to buy them used. This way you’re able to try out different kinds of golf balls without spending a bundle and if you don’t like them, you won’t have spent a bundle of money.
