To Do List

I am a fucker for making lists. I probably spend more time making lists and organising things than actually executing them. So I have a to do list for my upcoming golf calendar. I hope to stick to it...

Remaining Qualifying Competitions(Barring Good Winter/Bad Autumn Weather) : 11 (3 Majors, 8 Standard Stableford) -

Current Handicap: 20.4

Potential Cuts = .4 * 11 = 4.4

Potential Handicap: 15.6

End of Season Handicap Ambition: 18

How to achieve this:

1) Practice, Play,Practice Play.

Continue to play Sunday competition and Friday 9 hole BUFS to blow out the cobwebs. Add in at least 1, possibly 2 range sessions at lunchtime. Use this time not only to work on hitting my irons but on my short game. Weeks where Friday is inconvenient play at least  6 holes on Monday/Wednessay

2) Preparation

Spend at least 30 minutes pre-round on the putting green at the course. Not only for putting but close to the green chipping. Also complete 5 minutes in the practice bay. Be prepared and not arrive 10 minutes to teetime unlike my buddy Ed :)

3) New Putter and Wedge for the Bag

2nd one is key here, I have a sand wedge but would like something for more control from closer in. I have nothing in my bag with higher loft/bounce.My putter has worked well for me but maybe it is time to invest in something that will help me be more consistent. Some weeks I can putt like a trojan, others like a horse.

4) Lesson...

Not wanting to work into much else until I get down through the 18 barrier EXCEPT bunker play. It has cost me a number of times in recent weeks.

Hopefully If I can put and keep this plan in action it will maximise my chances of being successful...
