What are your goals for 2026?
I sat down and thought about what I would like to accomplish in golf in 2026 and came to two main areas of improvement: numbers and process/mentality.
Numbers are pretty self-explanatory.
- Shoot 74
- Become a 5 handicap
- Average 10 GIR per round
- Average no more than 1 lost ball per round
- Average no more than 1 double bogey per round
- Gain 10-15 yards of driver carry distance
Process/Mentality are more how I want to accomplish the above. I think these principles is what can propel the numbers I want to hit.
- have one swing thought per round
- have three dedicated practice sessions per week of at least 60 minutes
- does not always have to be iron play
- hit every iron shot with full commitment and finish with balance
A few recent drills on my YouTube linked here are also some pointers on what I am going to practice on, feel free to steal these for your own swing!
