I included Golf Weakness Awareness in our list of actions that we can take because not everyone has the time or the money available to be used to help lower their handicap. This is totally free and should be considered a MUST for everyone. What I mean by weakness awareness is that we know and understand what parts of our game we need the most help. By knowing this we can make adjustments while we are playing to help give us the best chance to improve our scores. An example: We are just ready to tee off on a par 4 hole. We know we almost always slice the ball and trouble is on the left side of the fairway with water or an out of bounds area. For us to get the ball in the fairway we know that we would have to aim the shot at the trouble on the left and let the ball slice back to the fairway. This is where we must know that we can not start the ball at the trouble on the left and hope that the ball will slice back to the fairway. We should not expect the perfect shot from ourselves like this unless there is just no other option available. Most holes in this situation will give you a way out by leaving some room on the right side of the fairway for you to go. We should take that option of going right in this situation. Aim to hit the ball right down the middle of the fairway and most likely you will slice and be off the fairway on the right side. It is just smart golf. This is simply knowing your own game and knowing how to work with your game. This is your Golf Weakness Awareness. Another example of Golf Weakness Awareness: We are just off the green with what appears to be a simple chip. But we also have previously identified that our short game is our biggest weakness. Rather than just walking up to the shot knowing that this is a simple chip and not give it much thought, we should take our time and realize that HEY this is my golf weakness. Then do our best to concentrate on the simple chip. Maybe the result will be better and maybe not. Remember this is our weakest part of our game. But if we can just take the extra time to think about the shot before hitting it, we are giving ourselves the best chance at hitting a nice shot. By knowing our golf weakness and thinking about them while we are playing, we can adjust our thinking to help give us our best chance to play a better hole. It is a very simple concept, but so very easy to forget while playing. This is one action that I feel everyone of us must decide to do, no matter what other actions we have decided on, in order to help improve our scoring and eventually our handicap. The disadvantage is NONE. This is simply a must for every player.
We would look forward to hearing from you.
