Happy New Year/Taiwan Girls Update

I want to wish all of my students, both past and present, as well as all of my blog readers a happy new year for 2011! It is a new year and most people are thinking of ways to improve themselves and their lives by setting new year resolutions. The new year is a great time to evaluate yourself and decide what you want to do for the next year. It is also a great time to evaluate your golf game and decide what you want to achieve during the next year.

Use some of my earlier blog posts to evaluate your game with skills tests and statistics and determine the weakest areas of your golf game. Then you can sit down and write some goals that will give you something to aim for. You then need to have a plan for your training and what you will do to achieve your goals for the year. This plan is important as it gives you something to focus on each week instead of the long term goals. This will make it easier to keep motivated during the tough times and you are focusing on training each day/week rather than the long term goal at the end of the year. Please contact me via my website or blog if you would like more information on how I can help you with your training plans for 2011.

On a different note I also wanted to update you on three of the Taiwan girls I coached when I was in Taiwan. The three girls, Tsai Pei Ying, Lin Tzu Chi and Hsieh Yu Ling, were the three top ranked female players in Taiwan when I was coach and we travelled a lot together and had some great results in different tournaments.

Well, now they have moved on from Amateur golf in Taiwan and have all turned professional. They have all been practicing hard and all three of them attended tour qualifying tournaments at the end of 2010. Through these events all three players qualified to play on professional golf tours for 2011. Tsai Pei Ying qualified for the Japan LPGA Tour and will testing her skills against some of Asia's best players in 2011 while Hsieh Yu Ling and Lin Tsu Chi qualified for the Futures Tour in America for 2011.

All of these players are young and it is a great effort for them to qualify for these tours for 2011. I am very proud of them and they all should be proud of themselves as well. I will keep you updated with their progress this year through this blog and hopefully report on some good results.

Until next time,

Brent
