We don’t rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training.

The 2022 season kicked off a couple of weeks ago for me on the Clutch Pro Tour. It was a good learning experience and good golf felt very close. In the past couple of months I have been working with a new coach and it has been tremendously informative and helpful. I really believe 2022 will be a great year. The plans this year are simple, do the basics well. That is across the board. From health to golf swing basics to playing practice rounds in a manner that is productive. The basics covers a range of things and is applicable to things in the golf swing such as checking ball position, grip, alignment, posture, balance points etc. on a daily basis. By focusing on something simple that I can control can create a peace of mind second to none. Focusing on doing the basics well means that mid summer after playing week on week, I’m less likely to be aiming in the left rough with shoulders aiming 30 yards left of that. (This happened to me last year). Instead of getting more out of sync as the summer progresses I hope to be flowing more and more, getting more comfortable with professional golf. I do believe professional golf is comparable to an apprenticeship and it takes time to learn and hone how you approach the game. I love the process of professional golf and couldn’t be more grateful that this is how I’m spending my time on this planet. I’m going to use this blog to share my experience throughout the year.
