JENNIFER'S GOLF TALK

Welcome to the Atlanta Chapter of EWGA! 
Established in 1994 as one of the first chapters, our members
live, work, and play golf in and around Atlanta.  

EWGA is an international organization with nearly 20,000 members
in over 120 chapters in the United States, Canada, and Europe.  
EWGA hosts the largest amateur women's golf championship in the world.

A new year is upon us, which for many means putting pen to paper to memorialize resolutions for the year ahead.  I’ve done it, you’ve done it, we’ve all done it.  We vow to lose some things – weight, debt – and vow to gain others – better job, new car – with the hope that the scales rebalance by the time the ball drops again. 

But the question is, have you ever put together a list of golf resolutions?  It may sound hokey, but according to the experts, identifying specific goals for the upcoming year may help improve your game.  The idea is that your practice and playing time will be more meaningful if you are focused on a couple of key goals instead of just banging balls at the range or heading straight to the tee box without a plan.  So to get the golf ball rolling, I am sharing my list of golf resolutions for 2012:

      •      Determine the actual distance for each club in my bag
    •      Aim to use only one ball per round (very likely impossible)
    •      Always practice putting before each round
    •      Play golf with lots of new people!
  • I'm sure I will be reminded during the season whenever I violate a resolution, but I promise to try my best to fulfill my goals this golf year and I challenge you to come up with your own list of golf resolutions for 2012.  
  • Happy New Year!
