One of best emails I (Tim) have received about accountability. Strongly suggest reading and maybe will help you set up your accountability. Email is great…life gets in the way some time, some times we don’t have time, etc.. etc.. It is never to late to make yourself accountable or start being accountable again..!
From Scott S. (Colorado)
Tim,
Thank you for the accountability session tonight. I literally wasted my elite membership last year as it took it a while for the program to get up and going and then I started a new job as the Chief Operating Officer at the National Cybersecurity Center in July where I uncovered massive problems that resulted in me completely restructuring the entire organization and reducing the manning by half – an exhausting time.
I feel bad as Trent is the greatest coach that was assigned to me in June and I feel like I let him down as the 8 assessments and other stuff got going. I was hitting the fairways 17 out of 18 holes and my putting started improving when I hit the “no golf”stage over the past 6 months. I am ready for this to end and get back to being a 10 percenter.
The only good thing I did during the past few months was take your advice and get a new wellness Doctor and am 2 weeks into a 6 month program that began with an evaluation of 97 different types of foods to loose weight and get rid of my leaky gut so that I can master the single plane swing better (lost 6 pounds in the last 3 weeks). Diet and supplements tailored to me. Thank you Tim!
I want to attend the AIAA and short game school in June. I want to ensure I am level 3 for this year. I want to trade in my triple track putter for a Smoke fairway wood.
My more realistic goals that you asked us to put together tonight follow:
1 month (March) – send in 2 videos per month, I will practice at least 3 days a week, I will focus on putting with my Lock and Roll putter during this month primarily. Understand how to better use coach now to compare videos to the model. Access On-demand at least once each week. Go over the weekly short and long game tips minimally. Read Paul Monahan book. Send in first video with single plane trainer. Get all goals and dates on a calendar. Schedule a 30 minute zoom session with Trent (done).
3 month (end of May) – send in 2 videos per month, I will practice at least 3 days a week, I will focus on short game during these 3 months primarily. Access On-demand at least once each week. Review all notes from previous schools and get them more organized for reference. Do assessments at least once per month. Update Calendar.
6 month (end of August) – I will attend AAIA in June in Phoenix and the short game school ion June, I will focus on full swing during these 6 months primarily. Send in 2 videos per month, Access On-demand at least once each week. I will practice at least 3 days a week, Access On-demand at least once each week.
9 month (end of October) – I am 24 handicap now and want to be 16 handicap by September 2024, send in 2 videos per month, I will practice at least 3 days a week, I will focus primarily on assessments during these 3 months. Access On-demand at least once each week. Do assessments at least once per week. Update Calendar.
General: Make a schedule for zoom sessions, webinars, videos with the coach practice sessions, assessments, rounds of golf.
Make questions and get answers!
Keep stats when playing and send them in to coaches so know where to focus.
Go to at least 1 School per year.
When work schedule allows, move back up to level 4.
Long term – I want to be a single digit handicap by September of 2025. I want to shoot my age at least once in the next 5 years when I will turn 70.
Thank you again as I am blessed to be part of the GGA family.
V/r,
Scott S.
