"The harder you work, the luckier you get" - Gary Player

Opportunities to get out on the course are going to be limited over the coming weeks. For us professionals however, the thought of putting the clubs into hibernation until April does not bear thinking about! 

Here are some of my tips on how all golfers can make the best of the winter months, and to ensure your handicap plummets in the summer months.

Have a plan

So, I’m in my studio in mid April and a client arrives for a lesson. "OK Tim, golf season started this week. I have some massive events coming up in the next few weeks, so let’s get working on changing my swing. I would like to get cut at least three or four shots this year!".

Cue my head in hands moment! We have had five months of inactivity, during which major swing changes could be implemented and practiced but now the client wants a major overhaul a few days before the season starts. Can you see why this might be frustrating?!

So, here is the right way to do it. Visit us in early January. Tell me you are willing to work but want to improve your game. I will assess your swing and can give you a two, three or four month plan to improve your game dramatically. Major swing improvements are going to mean poor golf in the short-term. But during the time of year when you are playing for a turkey or Winter League, short-term pain is not the end of the world. Especially if it means the winners circle in some of the major summer events.
