Golfing goals for the new year

Goals?

No medals on my home course. Lots of medals on any other course this side of Watford.

Fix my abominable swing faults.

Run a scoreboard at the Open???

Play in the Open.... :D
 
Goal for last year was to get to 16, and I made it to 13.

So this year

- Single Figure Handicap.
- Break 80
- Retain my OOM Trophy

If you asked me last week I'd have said to not go up to 14 :D

But my swing changes are now starting to bed in. So confidence is improving.
 
Practice hard and play well.
The lessons I am having seem to be going well and moving towards Stack & Tilt seems to be playing dividends with my ball striking. I need to spend lots of time on the short game area this year and hopefully I can get the handicap down to single figures.
I also plan to warm up correctly on the range before each comp instead of just hitting a few balls in the nets.
 
Get injury free, then find a club to play out of after we've found a house to buy, anything else is a bonus!
 
1. Get Down to 2.4
2. Win one of the 2 scratch 36 comps at my course - club champs or county champs
3. Make the cut at the McGregor Trophy
4. Break into the U18 Somerset and captain the U16 side at least 1 game.
5. To have fun and to work hard.
 
A minimum 4 shot handicap cut, and a good go at the board comps especially the matchplay ko and pairs aswell.

I played most games last year expecting to get cut and failed because i was thinking too much about being cut.
 
Enjoy the rounds more
Practice with purpose
Handicap to 20
Break 90
Complete round with same number of balls I started with (Stretch target - same balls I started with).

Last one looks most likely of the lot
 
Main goal for the year is get hcp below 20.

Others are
- break 90 (shot 90 3 times now - maybe tomorrow!?)
- add a driver to the bag
- play more courses & with more people
- keep better stats, mainly to monitor & improve putting
 
Managed to get to 14.1 in the middle of last year after being 16/17 for about 5 years but have slipped back to 14.7. would like to get there again and perhaps another shot or two if possible.
I think the goal is for every putt up to 15ft to be passed the hole. Never up never in. ;)
 
Mine are :-

1.To play of 9 or below ( no i'm not pished :))
2.Play in more opens at different tracks
3.Practise more from 100 yards and in more often
4.Play more links courses.
 
This year will be the first full year of golf since i started back up after a 5 year hiatus.

Been having a few lessons over the winter so the main goal is always to keep working on my game, practise, practise practise, and make sure i get the fundamentals right before worrying about scoring lower.

Id like to put more practise in on the putting green too working on my putting and short game.

get more game time, 2/3 times a week.

and finally, get down to 18
 
My goals are:

1. shave a couple of the handicap or at least maintain.
2. Have a bogey free round at my track again.
3. Win the very first Goswick/Hirsel scratch opens
4. Play at least 5 new courses
5. Hit a 400 yard plus drive ;) ;) ;)
