Golf vs. Winter
1. The main benefit the winter brings is a little bit of time to regroup and relax; essentially refreshing our minds and helping us to prepare mentally for the upcoming season.
- read a good book about the game (Seven Days in Utopia)
- watch a short game instruction video or anything particular to where you need the most help (Dave Pelz, Phil Mickelson videos)
2. Another great benefit of the winter is that since playing isn't an option it provides an additional reason for you to hit the gym and get into shape for the upcoming year.
- get a gym membership and set a schedule for yourself STICK TO IT (P90X? also there are numerous golf specific trainers around these days)
3. Set a schedule for the upcoming season and what exactly you plan to do. It helps tremendously to have your season entirely planned out. You can leave room for last minute changes and new tournaments you might get into as the season progresses but if you wait until the last minute for all your entries, application, etc chances are something is bound to go wrong GET IT DONE

The Onset of the Belly Putter
The season is coming on us fast and the only way to be the best and get the recognition we deserve is to put in the work NOW! Tomorrow we start morning workouts at 6:45. Afterwards, we head off to morning classes and hit the golf room in the afternoon! We're all pumped for the upcoming season and ready to get things going! In the fall our main problem was putting as our average putts per round as a team was 32.23... For the spring we're addressing this issue directly mainly through putting in hard work in the golf room and on the greens but also... BELLY PUTTERS!
The revolution begins
Keegan Bradley is without question the man who started a revolution. Since his spectacular win at the PGA this past year Belly Putters have been flying off the shelves! Until Keegan won the PGA with a belly putter no one had managed to win a major championship with any sort of long putter, but now the tables have turned. Not to be outdone now 3 of the 6 players on our team, myself included, have made the switch to the belly for this upcoming season. The theory behind it is simply.... simple! The fact that the putter is anchored helps you to take your focus off of the mechanics and help you zone in on making putts. This combined with the added work we are going to put into our short games is whats going to make the difference this season.

Dedication
Tomorrow is the beginning of our Spring '12 season and with it comes a new age for SHU Men's Golf. This blog is meant to capture that high of fulfillment brought on by being fully committed to a goal and doing everything to achieve it. For me, that goal is professional golf and from now on there's no messing around. My teammates and I have a goal in mind, to reach the top, and we're going to do everything in our power to get us there.
