Getting a new season started, you should always revisit, and set up habits that will help you through the entire season.
An easy and important self-evaluation tool is simple stroke counting. It helps you measure another aspect of your performance without just looking at the clock. Learning how to make stroke counting a habit, simply means DOING IT. With that in mind, here’s a simple set you can use to start building that habit.
Main Set – short course yards:
– 12 x 25 on :30 – reduce your count from 1-4 – Remember this count, the highest and the lowest, as you’ll be using those through the rest of the set.
– 12 x 50 on :45 – use the same numbers as above, reducing the counts from 1-4.
– 12 x 75 on 1:10 – same counts as above
– 12 x 100 on 1:30 – same counts
If you’re confused, here is a quick example:
– 25s. If my stroke counts were from 1-4 – 20,19,18, 17
– 50s – stroke counts should be – 40, 38, 36, 34
– 75s – stroke counts should be – 60, 57, 54, 51
– 100s – stroke counts should be – 80, 76, 72, 68
