My upcoming golf journey in my 50's, where my winter 2024 index is around 5.0 and my goal is to get to scratch handicap. For once in my golfing life, I'm not going to rely on hope to improve my game. I will introduce my improvement strategies, ranging from fitness & nutrition to mental game to practice plans (offseason and in-season).

Episode 10 - Putting on the F--Ritz
In this episode, I will talk to the past weekend's ups and downs. I finally have enough scores to start sharing overall stats, so there are a few very interesting ones that may help your games, too.

Episode 9 - Don't Stop Believin'
After a horrible opening weekend of golf, it was time to re-group and use the statistics to direct my practice sessions. It paid off, as my 4 scores thusfar have been progressively getting better.
With more focus on the golf and less on collecting accurate statistics, my golf scores improved.
Bonus: check out the Tiger 5 explanation and comparison near the end.

Episode 8 - Because You Had a Bad Day
7 months of preparation - nutrition, fitness, simulator time, and mental game. Now, the rubber hits the road on the golf course as the snow melted (it has since returned).
Follow my ups and mostly downs over the first two rounds, takeaways, and some cool Google Earth images of golf courses that anyone can put together for their own course.

Episode 7 - You Oughta Know (Expectations)
How often do you watch golf on TV, and no matter how far they hit from, they are knocking it to 3 feet. Well, these are the best shots of the best players having their best weeks.
I will add a bit of realism to the equation, where I will talk about my shot distribution and then the average PGA tour pro, as I realize that I'm not really that bad. Managing expectations will be the key to remain calm throughout the round, which will hopefully lead to better decision making and lower scores.

Episode 6 - You can make it if you try
Now that the Masters Sunday winner is a foregone conclusion, it's time to get serious about my own game. What makes Scottie special - he has all the skill and doesn't make as many glaring mistakes as his competitors. That's what I want to strive towards.
This episode talks to the specific areas of the practice plan with the very limited amount of time that I have to practice. By focusing on my weakest areas, I will devise specific plans to improve upon them.

Episode 5 - He Blinded me .... with Science!
Okay. We've talked nutrition, supplements, fitness. NOW, the moment you've been waiting for - GOLF!
I will compare my statistics to the massive database of scratch handicaps, and what 5 handicaps improved upon to get to scratch. This episode points to where I feel that each of those valuable 5 strokes will come from, and future episodes will talk to the HOW!
Please subscribe to my YouTube channel in the bio, as I will be putting more detailed information there.
