Don’t Start From Scratch, Start with a Plan.

The New Year always feels like a blank slate. It’s an opportunity to reset.

But when it comes to your golf game, a "fresh start" doesn’t mean throwing away everything you learned in 2025. You don't need to start from scratch; you just need to start from clarity.

Let's use the Full Swing as an example. To make 2026 your best year yet, you need to move away from "guessing" and toward "planning."

The 3 Questions That Define Your 2026 Success

Before you hit a single ball this year, ask yourself these three questions:

1. What was my "destructive miss" last year?

Was it hitting the ground first? The slice that put you out of bounds? The hook into the trees? Improvement doesn't happen by fixing everything, it happens by fixing the one thing that hurts your score the most.

2. Do I actually know WHY it happens?

Is it your club face? Your path? Your aim? If you can’t diagnose the cause, you are guessing. This is where most golfers fall into the "YouTube rabbit hole" of fake fixes and conflicting advice. You must identify the specific skill missing from your game.

3. How do I practice the fix?

Do you have a "go-to" drill, or are you just raking balls and hoping for a different result? Bouncing from tip to tip destroys progress. You need a drill that works and the discipline to stick with it.

The Secret Ingredient: Patience

Golf requires specific skill building. If you have the answers to the questions above, the final piece of the puzzle is time.

I’ve attached a clip below from Butch Harmon, one of the most renowned coaches in history. Listen closely to what he says about making changes. It validates exactly what we talk about here: real change takes time.
