For those of us who live in the northern hemisphere in areas where golf is seasonal, we’re coming to the point where the season is winding down. In the northern United States (at least in the east) the beginning of the end really starts when kids get back to school. Then it slows down more and more as the days get shorter and cooler as winter looms.

I wanted to have one last game improvement push before the season winds down. Let’s try to drive those handicaps a little further down, look to cross those scoring plateaus, and try to meet any other goals that were set for the season.

Here’s how it’s going to work: starting Wednesday, I’m going to do a series of five posts covering every aspect of golf each day. Each post will contain a tip, drill, or some other information to help you (and me) improve in all the following areas:

• Putting
• Short Game
• Recovery
• Iron Play
• Driving
• Sand Play
• Mental Game
• Course Management
• Fitness

I’ll break up the posts into sections corresponding to the categories above so you can concentrate on the areas where you need work, if you prefer.

Some of the material will come out of posts I’ve already written and some will be things I haven’t covered yet. It’ll be a good way to stir up the archives a little and bring some of the older stuff back into focus for newer readers.

In addition, if I get enough interest, I’d like to follow up on the sixth day with tips and drills submitted by readers. E-mail me your favorite tips and drills that fit into the categories above and I’ll put them together in a post for day six.

Finally, I’ll round out the week on the seventh day with a recap of the first six days that we can build on and refer to when the need arises for another total game improvement push.

My hope is that if we pull out all the stops, we can all get over the hump before the season ends. For readers in the southern hemisphere, you’re coming into the spring season now, so hopefully this will get you a running start. And for those lucky enough to have good golf weather all year, let’s just get you over whatever plateau you’re stuck at right now.

My own goal for this end of season push is to get back into the 30’s (for 9-holes, since I play mostly 9-hole rounds in the evenings). I’ve been close, but couldn’t get there so far. Keep your own goals in mind as we get into this week.

Stay tuned, and don’t forget to submit your favorite tip or drill. I’ll use as many as I can, but I have 5 days of material already slotted, so you’re going to have to beat the ones I already have to make it onto the day-six list.

Let’s get to work.
