Good luck with your training. Dont bulk up too much as a balance between strength and flexibility is better than just extra muscle

I'm just focussing on getting the short game in order for the start of the season. I want to try and get some work done with the putter and it is my chipping I need to look at. Sadly in the current conditions neither is likely to happen soon.

Physically I am fit enough, golfing wise I have a lot of 'training' to do! Hopefully the weather will improve and allow me to do this.

For those of you wanting to get physically fit specifically for golf and are unsure how to go about it there is some good stuff on here: http://www.sport-fitness-advisor.com/golffitness.html

I go to the gym most nights, but golfing wise I would like a few putting lessons and a couple of short game lessons too. Like Homer says though, the putting green is not in the best nick due to the weather, so probably wouldn't justify the cost. Will wait 'till April before I have a lesson and hopefully hit a hot streak Just before the season starts!

Short game practice, especially chipping and those fiddly little pitches from 40 yards and in, will be where I concentrate most of my practice this year.

The long game and putting have been very generally good in 2008 but I could still shave off 4/5 shots per round if I could chip and pitch. My last round was a perfect example, an 81 where I took 5 to get down from 40 yards on the 1st and 5th. There's 4-6 shots straight away.

Short game short game short game for me this year. As much as possible. Pitching, chipping, putting.

I could do with working on my long irons but that won't be where my emphasis will be as generally there not too bad.

I will have a putting lesson or two once the greens have thawed out.

I've only got two problems which I need to get right so that I can win all the competitions this year;

Distance and direction !!!!
