As it is the New Year, there are always Golfers with Resolutions to play better Golf. Have you made yours already or are you just recycling the same Resolution you used in 2007, which you might’ve recycled from your Resolution in 2006.
As Vince Lombardi most likely said at one time or another – ‘Talk is cheap. First you need to prove that you want to play better.’
I wish there was a way that I could list all the Golfers that came to GMS in 2007 and then list what they accomplished after seeing GMS. This would be virtually impossible to do in this newsletter as we had over 1,000 Golfers and I’m sure you’d stop looking after about 10 or so names.
Though, I’d like to list just 10. Why? Because these Golfers had Resolutions to improve and they showed more action than talk. Are there more than 10 GMS Golfers that improved this year? There’s 100’s and 100’s more. Some may have improved at the rate of the 10 Golfers below – some may have simply improved their handicap a mere 5 strokes.
Though, here are just 10 off the top of my head that I can write down without having to look at our records - Name, Date Attended - Home - What They Accomplished:
Roger Irwin, May 2007 – Ontario, Canada – Shot his best round ever of 82 in the final round to win Senior Club Championship. Mid 90’s Golfer before GMS.
Jim Cedrone, January 2007 – Massachusetts – Shot 89 and is consistently in the mid 90’s. Before GMS shooting 125 – 130.
Linda Arns, November 2007 – South Carolina – Shot 81 and 82 to win Women’s Club Championship at Berkley Hall C.C. by 10 strokes. Before GMS was shooting mid-90’s.
Chris Stevenson, January 2007 – North Carolina – Shot 79 and achieved goal of breaking 80. Before GMS was shooting in the mid 90’s.
Gary Shaver, June 2007 - Florida - Broke 100 several times and has made it down to the mid 90’s. Before GMS average score was 108 and had never broken 100.
Mike Donahue, February 2007 – Massachusetts – Shot 76 and several rounds in the low 80’s. Before GMS average score was 95.
John Murphy May 2007 – California – Shot ‘best score ever’ of 87 and now averages low 90’s. Before GMS typical score was 105 to 110.
Ivan Carrillo, January 2007 – Switzerland – Achieved goal of breaking 90 (shot 88). Before GMS scored between 105 and 115.
Jacqui Langdon, March 2007 – Manitoba, Canada – Broke 100 several times and improved handicap by over 10 strokes. Before GMS scored between 110 and 120.
Greg Rowe, January 2007 - California - Broke 100 for the first time with a 94. Before GMS average score was 109.
These are real people that have made nice improvements with their golf games. And you can do the same. How did they do it? I believe the main factor in their improvement was their commitment to sticking with their PLAN.
Too many Golfers get excited about some new swing they’re working on and then after not seeing improved Results after a couple of weeks – they become disappointed and then begin ‘Fiddling’ with another new golf swing. Then once that next new swing doesn’t produce improved Results …. well, it’s on to yet another golf swing.
And this process seems to repeat itself year after year – and before you know it, you’ve been playing Golf for 10 years without seeing much improvement. Has that happened to anyone you know?
Yet, the 10 Golfers above and the over 1,000 Golfers that came to see GMS this past year have all improved and will continue to improve using their PLAN.
What's your PLAN for 2008?
And as long as I’m listing names, I can’t forget – Rick Darst who won the Super Senior Division of the Pacific Amateur Classic by 12 strokes – Bob Sewell who won his Club Championship – Brenda Acker who won the Lancaster County Championship – Charles Eaton who shot his age of 73 - etc., etc., etc.
Well done everyone!
From our GMS Instructors: Hayden Lewis, Wataru Tomita, Jeff Seigler, Scott Wittosch, Paul Moore, Chuck Williams, Trevor Harvey, Javier Rivera – our office crew: The Queen Bee, Scott Herlihy, Manley Branham, Alex Ortega – and myself (I'm not sure what category I fit in); we all wish you a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!
The Monkey will make a Resolution to improve their golf swing in 2008
The Player will say that a Resolution is only meaningful if you take action to make it happen
How can you accomplish your goals? Do what the above Golfers did at this time last year – sign-up for a GMS class – take action and be a Player!Regards,
Marc Solomon - Your Instructor For Life
