How to Set Expectations and Goals in Golf

Found this post on golflink.com, and reposting here.  An excellent article and good advice.

It's easy to get out on the golf course and play, hoping your game will improve. But without a plan and specific goals and expectations, you may spend all your time hoping instead of improving. No one wants to think of golf as work (hey, it's the thing we do to get away from work!), but just as your job requires you to meet or exceed expectations, hit deadlines and show real results, so too should your golf game. It's not that hard. With a little forethought and examination of your current game and where you want to improve, you'll see your scores drop and your enjoyment of the game climb higher and higher.

March Madness Tourney

As the country gears itself up for NCAA March Madness basketball, I find myself heading to Panama City Beach for only my second tournament this season.  The tournament is held at Bay Point Resort which is a Jack Nickalus design.  My leg and back injury had cleared up enough to allow me some practice and I felt somewhat prepared.  My brother and his family lives in the area and I had played the course about a year ago.

Chicago Trip and Top Golf

Recently I was able to travel to Chicago and see my friends, hangout watch some golf, and smoke a few cigars; reminence about old times and times to come.
My leg injuy has begun to feel so much better and with golf tournament season fastly approaching, the need to practice and hit the driving range is growing paramount.  I was able to visit my favorite driving range, Top Golf.  The best way to describe Top Golf is it much like a golf bowling alley.

Swing Video

Trip to see Instructor Part II

Sorry it has been a while since my last blog update. 
So picking up where I left off, Terry and I worked on hand position at impact, basically being more on top of the ball with weight shift more on left side.  The following day I went out and hit the driving range and found some extra distance and control.  What more can anyone ask for?  We also changed my swing path.  Upon video analysis, Terry saw I was bring my club to much around my body causing fat shots, hitting the ground before the ball occasionally.
