I tried to get my golf clubs “Detailed” for the new season but could not find a service and my club pro was not interested. I think there is a niche job out there for somebody to make a good living, working from home, mostly cash, might even do it my self.

Hang in there, YP! We’ll get there. I hit a plateau, but I’m going to break through it before long.

Losing weight – I hear that!!!

DE – it can totally help. Last year I was 55lbs down (265 to 210). After I lost my belly my turn/coil was bigger and my athleticism improved a LOT. Course, I’m going into March 2009 at 245 but I’m working on it.

#1 Goal for 2009 – lose the belly! Dang – I sound like a chick (no offense ladies!).

You are right, anything in life is worth the effort to deliver. Good preparation is key to delivering that success.

Thecpa, there are some things that are always in my plan, such as getting more fit and losing weight. I will begin working with my pro again in a week or two and I’ll have a road map for what I need to do with my swing this year. Beyond that, I have committed to working much more heavily on my short game this year.

For now, that means that I have set aside large chunks of time on the weekend for working on short game and putting, as well as for range work. As the days get longer, I’ll extend that into weekday evenings.

I also have a goal to establish my handicap early this year and play in more tournaments, whenever possible.

Good post. A plan will be a major factor to any success in life. Are you going to share your plan for this golf season with us?

Good for you, Nate. Over the past couple of years, I’ve come to realize that not having a plan is like starting to read a book by tearing out all the pages and throwing them on the floor and then picking up one after another randomly. You’ll eventually take in all the information, but the big picture will be jumbled and incomplete.

You couldn’t be more right about setting and (hopefully) reaching your goals. I’m getting really serious about my game this year but hadn’t taken the important step of setting specific goals and a road map for achieving them .. until reading this post. It’s actually a trap I fall into with a lot of things, not just golf, so maybe it’ll rub off on some of those other things while I’m at it.
