Improve Your Golf Swing

So your swing isn’t perfect.  You’ve tried many things and know you could still never play on the tour.  You might break 90 but you’ll also break a few woods and at least one golf cart on the same day.  So?

Unless you’re thinking of playing professionally, there’s really no reason you should obsess about your swing and your score.  Sure, you want to work on improving it and there’s nothing wrong with that; most games are more enjoyable when you’re better at them.  But if you’ve tried everything and still don’t have the score you want, why let this interfere with the enjoyment of your game?

Remember that golf is about much more than just a score.  It’s about a beautiful walk interrupted by an occasional game of marbles.  It’s about being out of the house and out of the office and about being challenged by no one but yourself.  It’s about being with your friends or family or about new friends when you join another foursome.

It may be that you reach a certain skill level and won’t progress any further.  If you’re not happy with this, you might want to check how you view the game and your own approach – not your approach to the ball but your approach to the game itself.  If you relax your thinking about the game and your skills and about what makes it enjoyable, you may regain that joy that you might have once lost out on the links!
