Are you ready for the 2010 season?

As the weather turns to spring, we are all excited about breaking out our clubs. After five months of cold weather and indoor activity, it is refreshing to get outdoors. Here are a few tips to kick the 2010 season off right.

Make your clubs feel like new. All it will take is a new set of grips. After being in storage for five months and usually in the garage grips will harden. Sometimes they will even start to crack. It is a small amount of money to get a new set of grips today. A basic set installed will only run about $60.00. That's not much to make your clubs feel new again.

Get the most out of your old shoes. Chances are the ground will still be wet when you play your first round. This is why I always use my older shoes for the early round. I accept the fact they will get wet and dirty. This will also keep the new pair I bought last season fresh for when the ground hardens up.

One last thought, If I had a dollar for the times I have heard "I started out playing well and now my game has gotten worse" I would not have to work at all today. This is my theory, we all start a new season just happy to be outside. For this reason we do not have any expectation on our golf game. This allows us to just play and be thankful for the opportunity. As time goes on, we all think that our games should and will get better. There are no "givens" in golf other than we will have good days and bad. Practice and a pure enjoyment of the game will lead to more success.

Start the season off right. Maybe get some new grips or take a refresher lesson. Give yourself an opportunity to get the most out of the season.
