New Year’s resolutions. We all make them, yet we almost all fail to keep them.
It’s time to change that. Make 2023 the year you follow through on your goals. What better place to start than on the golf course?
Here at Golfweek, we’ve put together a list of what we think are important New Year’s resolutions for your game. From increasing distance to improving short game and fitness, we’ve compiled not just what to do, but how to do it to help you achieve your goals.

Train smarter
How to keep your resolution: Work smart, not harder. With the Golf Forever Swing Trainer, you’re training golf-specific muscles with their workouts. Trusted among tour players worldwide, give this a try if you want to shave pounds and strokes in 2023.
GolfForever Training System - $199.99Fewer three putts
How to keep your resolution: Bring down your scoring average this year with this putting trainer. Working your way backward from green to tee is the easiest and most efficient way to lower scores on a consistent basis.
Breaking Ball Putting Mat - $169.99Play more golf
How to keep your resolution: Bring the course to your living room this year. Not only is the Rapsodo mobile launch monitor an affordable and viable option for getting accurate numbers, but it also features abilities to sim real golf rounds in the comfort of your own home.
Mobile Launch Monitor - $349.99Improve flexibility
How to keep your resolution: Flexibility is key, not just for a better golf swing, but a better and more comfortable life. Stretch your back and spine after a day of sitting at a desk to stay healthy and play more golf in 2023.
Foam Roller Set - $99.99Practice at home
How to keep your resolution: Not everyone has time to hit the range or stop by the practice greens every day. Bring the practice range home with a cost-effective setup. Pro tip: Take swing videos to make sure you’re getting results that translate to live rounds.
Tri Turf XL Mats - $99.99 Catch All Net - $149.99Get a grip
How to keep your resolution: Please re-grip your clubs. Tour players usually get their clubs re-gripped every 3 months, sometimes less. While you’re not taking as many rips as they are (hopefully), it’s a good idea to re-grip your clubs around every 50 rounds of golf you play.
Lamkin grips - From $6.99Establish a handicap
How to keep your resolution: Golf is more fun when you’re playing with friends. Establish a handicap this year to make the most of rounds with your buddies. And hey, maybe now your group will lay a bit more skin on the line once everyone is established.
