If you ever watched the TV series ‘West Wing’, you will easily recognize the title of this article. This statement is made every time President Bartlett is ready to move onto a new topic. He is either tired of the old one or has spent enough time thinking or worrying about it. Well, I feel that way about many topics in golf; I like to change because I am tired of the conversation, have no solution, or another topic is more important to at that time. So, Whats Next?

Hoping For A Change in Your Golf Score
Practice is important to lower golf scores.
Our golf score is really the bench mark for how well we perform on the course. Naturally, that score is a bit deceiving from time to time, but overall it is what golfers talk about after their round. The first question at the 19th hole is “What did you shoot?” Of course most golfers downplay they score and explain that they left at least 3 strokes on the course.

What Size is Your Putter Grip?
In the past 10 years or so, golf equipment has changed dramatically. The technological advancements are staggering and I find it difficult to keep up with all the changes.

This might seem like an inconsequential change, but I think this ‘behind the scene’ difference is a game changer. Continue reading

Transition is Always Tough In Golf
Missing my range time.
I bet you are thinking I am going to talk about the transition periods of my golf swing, well not today. This transition is from playing 4 days a week to not playing at all. It is a tough time of year for those of us in the northern climes, but one we know and understand. However, it does not make things any easier.
It is the time of year that thousands of Canadian golfers walk around in a fog looking for something to fill their time. Some hunker down and just wait, while others find other activities to enjoy. It is a yearly routine that does not get any easier. Continue reading
