2017 Aims #questfor20

[Spear-Chucker]

A little improvement in all facets of my game particularly setup, wedge play and course management. Currently committed to a long term improvement plan and it's progressing well.

 

[Patster1969]

Keep the ball in play more to try and remove the blobs from my scorecard - aim for 1 point per hole at the very least

Scratch......

Oh no, not another 2 to scratch blog

 

[ArnoldArmChewer]

Oh no, not another 2 to scratch blog

2 to scratch ??, sounds like monkey business too me :thup:

 

[Marshy77]

I would be happy just to play more golf than this year

Same. Definitely need to find some time to get some practice in inbetween having a lesson a month from now until March.

Want to get down to Cat2 firstly.
Getting to 10 would be fantastic.

I've just thought about this (on the blog if you are an insomniac) and decided the way to improve over the winter at the range is to be more meticulous with practice and recording my statistics. Hopefully this will make the practice more structured and with more purpose and I can see which areas are getting better which aren't and then tailor my winter lessons appropriately.

I have to be honest it wasn't my idea and is something I've borrowed from Peter Finch and his Quest for the Open vlogs and having spoken to him at Camberley. It's early days for my practice and recording the details and after a rough golfing year my first aim is to get back to 12 where I was at the start of 2016. From that point I'll look to kick on again, hopefully all next year but if not then in 2018

This is exactly what I am thinking.

My practice recently has become more focused and about the flight rather than the distance.

I start with an 8 iron now (my favorite iron) work down to my 6 iron.. 3/5 balls with each depending what size bucket.. hit couple with my 4H, and with the 5w and 3w. after this I will go back up the set and go 9i. PW, 46, 50, 54, 58. Finally finishing off with my driver.. however if I really nail the drive I will leave the session there.. End on a high. same with most clubs.. if on the 2nd shot I hit a peach I will go right and move onto the next one trying to take that flight with me.

I have different exercises to work on aswell (like play an imaginary round or pick a green and try and hit 3 short irons, 3 long irons and then 3 drives and score them) however right now its getting the new path bedded in for next few weeks.. nail the draw

My goals for 2017 are the same as 2016 :-

1) Play as much as I can and then a little bit more
2) Have fun and laugh about it
3) You can only play one shot at a time and the next shot will be my best shot ever

I was using mygripzone.com which has some great practice drills and a chance to record all your practice stats via the mobile phone app. I got a printed practice booklet as well with the drills in and after my first year subs for the premium package expired I'm now simply taking my own notepad, recording the numbers and then adding them to my own Excel spreadsheet.

Cheers for this homer I think I'll download this asap..

my mate whos off 11 keeps saying I'm gonna get cut next year with the work I have put in but it's so hard in the society to be cut you have to score 36 or above points so an off day and u won't get a chance again for another month
