Lighthearted

• I resolve to spend less time looking for lost balls… and more time pretending I meant to hit it there.

• I will buy fewer golf balls in bulk and stop acting surprised when I need them.

• I resolve to remember that a round without a birdie is still better than a day without golf.

• I will stop blaming my clubs, the wind, the sun, and Mercury in retrograde. (Mostly.)

 

Goal-Oriented

• I resolve to play at least one round each month focused on strategy, not just score.

• I will commit to practicing one part of my game I usually avoid (hello, putting).

• I resolve to learn the rules better—and use them to my advantage.

• I resolve to play confidently from the first tee, no matter who’s watching.

 

Friendship

• I resolve to play at least one round with someone new in the league.

• I resolve to cheer louder for great shots—especially when they’re not mine.

• I will remember that laughter with friends is as important as the final score.

• I resolve to be the kind of playing partner I’d love to be paired with.

 

Perspective

• I resolve to enjoy the walk, the views, and the company—no matter the score.

• I will leave frustration on the last green and not carry it to the 19th hole.

• I resolve to be grateful for the time we get to spend playing this game together.

• I will remember that golf is a gift, not a test.
