2016 Goals

CAT 1 for me and to maintain it. I'm at 5.7 at the moment but I would hope to nail down consistent rounds under 78 and practice my wedges and putting and short game for the whole year. My swing is what it is and I've more confidence playing with a baby fade so it's all about the game from 120mtrs in for me now.
I'm hoping to finish the season around 3.5-4.0.
 
Find a short game! If I can do that I reckon I could get down to 4, possibly even 3.
 
Would be nice to get down to 4 maybe even creep to three - just need to sink a few more putts and get rid of the poor hole per round in qualifiers.
 
Simple ones for me:

Join a club - check
Break 100 for the first time - check
Get my handicap to below 20 (3 cards are now in, 95, 102, 97 so this is an ongoing target which is good)
Compete in some competitions
Play as often as possible, with as many different people as possible
Try get a consistent swing - just changed my swing recently so working on this, the reward is a new set of irons
Keep practicing where possible

Play more than last year and maybe drop a few shots from the handicap along the way.
 
Last season it was to get from 4.1 to 2. Something. I finished at 3.2 despite a poor summer and was very pleased.

This season it's to get from 3.2 to 2.4 or less
 
Nothing too bold, but it's good to have a target or two.

Get from 15 to 12 handicap by the end of the summer.
Win at least two club comps.
Get my name on the board.

Will be nice to come back to this at the end of the season and see how we've all done.
 
Get a handicap
Get that handicap down to sub-18
Shoot a sub-80 round
Complete 18 holes without a three putt

If I'd avoided three-putts on my last round I'd have shot 78, so really they go hand in hand for me. Be great if I could manage all four.

What's the focus been on Mendie.
I'm pouring all my work this year into wedges and putting...
 
Get down to 15, currently off 20 but breaking it by miles at times and then shooting a round of 120.

Put some time into my short game and decide on a set way to play chip shots, currently wristy and all over the place.

Play atleast 2 links courses
 
To play as many new courses as possible.

To play as many rounds with my dad as possible.

To continue to enjoy playing.

If i manage to do all 3 then everything else will fall into place.

I'd say my wedge play is improving but in general just 'trying' to play smarter golf and avoiding big mistakes. If I don't lose a ball during a round I very rarely shoot more than 1 or 2 over.

Need to hole more putts too
 
Health permitting, to carry on playing as often as I can this year and not worry after that. Still think there's a single figure golfer in there but can't see me being able to play or practice enough this year to drag him out. Not the end of the world and more important things than hitting a white ball about
 
Joined a club so that's one thing ticked. Finally figured out how to work out stableford points :D

Get down from 26 to hopefully 20/21
Sort my putting out
Play more consistantly
Increase distance and accruacy
