2015 Season Targets?

Understand whats wrong with my putting and work on it. This is the worst area of my game and costs me so many shots. Once that is conquered, I *should* consistently shoot in the high 70's/low 80's. Currently shooting high 80's and sometimes creeping into the 90's when i'm not on form.


Also, take some lessons.
 
Break 80. Current PB is 85, but when I've parred every hole on the course (birdied pretty much all of them too) and had 9 hole runs of 2 over, then I don't see why I can't manage 18 at no more than 7 over, especially with all the good work I feel like I've put it over the winter.
 
Reduce handicap to firstly; single figures then as low as possible target is 6 by end of the year.

Want to play in some of the bigger county/mid am opens that have a handicap limit

Win either or both of the winter knockouts with Merv79 - currently in 1/4 finals of both
 
I have a few that are linked - The end aim to be selected for a RAF team, generally the standard is very high. To achieve this i want to play well this year in the various RAF and club events which in turn will hopefully see my handicap reduced and result in a selection for 2016. So far this year my golf has been good... i think its the putting that is holding my scores back, weather hasn't helped though, mix of main and temps so far.

Handicap wise - category 1 is where i'd like to finish the year on. Believe i'm currently 6.7
