Even though one day later is the same as any one day later, and we can start on a new path anytime we want to, there is something about turning the page to January 1 that makes a difference. We have had our year-end festivities, from November through December, and then there’s January. Thirty-one days of not much going on. So we get introspective and start to think, “Maybe there’s a better way.” A better way to do whatever it is that’s important to you.

If golf is important to you, you’ll be setting goals for the coming season. Last year I didn’t accomplish much on the course because of my Grand Canyon hike, but I did get a lot done on re-tooling my swing. I also had a putting lesson last month that turned everything around. I can’t wait to go out there again and start breaking par.

That probably won’t happen, though these things might:

1. Get my grandson real good at this game.
2. Shoot in the 70s consistently instead of once or twice a year.
3. Get my next golf book published.
4. Have more fun.

Each one of them is within reach. I’ll keep you posted as the year goes by.

Here’s one for you:
Read Better Recreational Golf. It’s full of little things that will make a big difference.
