Practice your golf game! What does that really mean? How many hours for playing? How many hours at the driving range? How many lessons? Join a club or a league? Buy new equipment?
When I drilled down to identify what the drivers were for me, I discovered the following possible benefits:
• Better enjoyment of the game
• More opportunities to play with others in business or social settings
• Combine with travel
• Possibly compete
• Faster pace
• Moderate exercise benefit
• Refining my laser focus on the present
• Dedicating real time to improving a skill that has the potential to adding another dimension to my life
Improvement is only one aspect of the game and another is maintaining any new skill-set. It calls for vigilance and discipline; characteristics that sometimes slip away. However, the good news is that I’ve lowered my handicap and become a better golfer this season. While it’s not a panacea, the steps I’ve taken to improve help in other aspects of life. By ascertaining my goals, enumerating the possible benefits and with a big picture to visualize, staying on track was easier.
• What’s one skill that you would like to improve?
• What steps do you need to take?
• When will you begin?
