How to not be a Hacker, Part 5; Merry Christmas, It’s a New Year
|
1. The new stick (one club)…sticks (a set)…putter…or balls that you think have made you better out of the box, they have only made you worse. Listen, it’s like upgrading your Corolla to a Ferrari, yes better car, but are you a better driver instantly? No, you’re a hacker. 2. Buying clubs in the off season is a good move. Buy your wife a nice bottle of wine. 3. When all the snow melts, and you get out there on March 2nd, bring a friend (and not a business meeting) who won’t count your 14, add your old driver/putter/half your old set. a) Hit your old driver first. You have a relationship, she’s owed that. b) Hit your new driver. You were already warm from the previous attempt so you should last that much longer in the fairway. b) Now you can start to feel the difference. Maybe the new driver is better. You had a comparison that was legit. c) Substitute irons or putters for 3a and 3b. 4. Let’s break 85 this year. |
