Start the year strong with achievable golf resolutions

As we swing into a brand-new year, there’s no better time to take a step back and evaluate your golf game. Whether you’re a beginner looking to make your mark on the fairways or a seasoned player with aspirations to shave strokes off your handicap, the start of the year is the perfect opportunity to set meaningful and achievable golf resolutions.

Setting golf-specific goals will not only improve your game but also reignite your passion during the winter season. From perfecting your swing to mastering tricky putts, here’s how to set yourself up for success in 2025.

Tips for setting golf resolutions

1. Be specific with goals

A vague goal like “get better at golf” won’t keep you motivated. Instead, set measurable objectives like “reduce my handicap by three strokes” or “hit 60% of greens in regulation by summer.”

2. Focus on short and long-term improvements

Perhaps you want to work on your putting accuracy in the short term or aim for consistently driving the ball 250 yards by the end of the year.

3. Schedule practice sessions

Book time on the driving range, practice green, and utilise ranges that have range technology like Trackman. Regular, focused practice builds muscle memory and sharpens technique.

4. Diversify your game

Challenge yourself to play different golf courses, practice various formats like match play or four-ball, and experiment with new clubs to develop adaptability.

5. Track your stats

Use golf apps or a journal to track your rounds, greens in regulation (GIR), fairways hit, and putts per round. Watching your stats improve can be incredibly motivating.

Why resolutions matter for your golfing journey

When you set clear objectives, every round becomes an opportunity to measure progress and stay focused. Whether it’s reducing your handicap, improving your course management, or preparing for club competitions, these resolutions will keep you inspired throughout 2025.
