I’ve recently been in touch with Doug Kercher, an Australian PGA golf professional. He’s been teaching the game for over 17 years and has been playing on the Australian Senior Tour since the 2006 season.

Doug has developed an interesting game improvement system, that I think might help me get more forward motion in my quest this coming season. It’s called Golf - Your Perfect Plan for Practice and Play

You can read a little about it here. If you’d like more information, just enter your name and e-mail address at the bottom of that page, and you’ll be taken to another page with much more information.

I’ve read all the information, and have read and studied the system itself.

I’m very intrigued. Enough that I’m going to give it a try this year.

Before we get ahead of ourselves, let me lay some things out there, so there are no misunderstandings.

• This is NOT some magic pill for golf improvement. There are no hidden secrets revealed here.
• This is NOT a manual teaching you the game. It’s a system of how to learn the game.

If you’ve been following me since I started this spring, then you know that I’m a goal-oriented person. I’m also a big fan of tracking statistics and learning from trends and results.

Doug has used his 17 years of teaching experience to bring these things together.

One of the things I struggle with is organizing my time and effort. The system takes care of a lot of the work for me.

• There are helpful charts to plan and track results and progress.
• There is information about setting goals and achieving them.
• There are skill tests to let you know exactly where you stand and whether your efforts are paying off in each area of the game.
• The system helps you analyze where you should actually be putting your time. Based on what I read, my own efforts this year were grossly inefficient.
• There are sample practice itineraries to help get the most out of practice time.

There’s no shortcut to hard work. Nothing will ever change that. But a system like this will help someone like me do it in an organized manner.

This system is for:

• Players who are serious about improving their games.
• Players that like to be organized in their planning, practice, and play, or for players who simply want to improve their organizational skills as they apply to golf improvement.
• Players who would like to be more disciplined in learning the game, but might not be sure how to go about it.
• Players who like to track statistics, but might not be sure what to track and how to apply that knowledge to improving their practice and play.
• Players who are willing to work with a pro or coach to improve their fundamentals.

This system is NOT for:

• Players that don’t want to put in work to improve their play.
• Players that don’t like to bother with tracking stats, outlining goals, or optimizing practice time.
• Casual players that just want to go out and have some fun and don’t care if their games improve.

I’m going to organize my efforts this season with Doug’s system. I’ll be letting you know periodically how it’s working out. At the end of the summer, I’ll evaluate my progress and whether the system has helped me reach my goals for the year, as well as whether it has gotten me closer to my overall goals.
