What part of your golf game would you consider yourself skilled in? Is there a skill which, if mastered, would create an experience on the course that would mean something important to how you feel about the game?
Shooting a lower score or having a lower handicap is one measure of achievement. But, so is reaching a particular level of skill with a part of the game. For instance at what level would you describe your short-game from 40 yards in?
If you were a "Master" or a "Wizard" of the short game, how would that make you feel? How quickly could you get to the next level?
Becoming accomplished at something is a great feeling. Getting to the point where you surprise your partners or competition adds to the bonus.
