The season is over, what are next season goals???

[medwayjon]

For me, I need to play in more competitions, I really enjoy it when the pressure is on and want to kick on in that respect.

As for my handicap, I want to get down to 18 atleast.

Had a look at my eclectic for the season at my club, the total combined score was 52. I have birdied 12 holes at best and 1 hole I have eagled 3 times this season and the other 5 recorded a par at best. I am pretty satisfied with this however it is somewhat flattering.

A bit more consistency is definately required in my problem areas and I think a set plan of lessons is probably needed to build and maintain this consistency. My problem areas are a tendancy to have on/off days with the driver and my putting, everything else is fairly reasonable for somebody with only 18 months of golf behind them I think.

Apart from the above, I just hope that I enjoy my golf next year as I have enjoyed this one.

Oh yeah, I would also dearly love to have my 1st hole-in-one. I have come very, very close 3 times in the last 3 weeks and really hope one will drop.

To join the local club and get back into the swing of regular golf. Since moving to the coast about 7 years ago I have been a "nomad" golfer, grabbing odd days here and there when I can. I've gone from playing regularly (twice a week when I was a member at Crowborough Beacon) to only playing six rounds this year!!
I'm still holding my game together (just) but would really love to get down to single figures (9 would do!) by competing on a regular basis again.
When I moved to the coast I also "inherited" twin boys (my wifes previous marriage). They are now 12 years old and I would like Nicholas (one of the twins) to become a junior member of the same club and learn the game.
I personally think that golf should be on the national cirriculum at all schools. It would teach youngsters a little more dicipline and also to respect their opponent. I like the attitude that "I would rather play well and lose than play badly and win"

At the start of the new year i am joining one of the many local clubs and then after an initial bedding in period i think a couple of serious sessions with the pro to point me in the right direction (more may need to follow).
Enter my 3 cards, get handicap and then play as often as possible to try and regain the sort of game i had a number of years ago when i played off 12.
Hopeflly by the end of the year i will be down to 10 maximum. I know that this may sound like a big ask but i believe that goals need to be set high.

 

[flandango]

My aims are to practice hard though the winter, enter as many comps as I can come April and put myself in a position for single figures in 2010.

I would also like to play more courses with more people!

 

[USER1999]

My main goal next year is to stop playing like a prat. Simple really. Concentrate more, and cut out the trebles.

 

[andiritchie]

My goal for next year is to put the driver away when the 3 wood will do

 

[OldWindy]

To get the wife playing again. Makes things that bit easier.
Good luck to all of your next season goals.

To play more consistently which should mean a few prizes won, a drop in handicap.
Also to make the club team and go better than this year when we made the Quarter Final.

 

[brendy]

I want to get better....

 

[Cernunnos]

Like everyone I want to & need to be playing better. Play more like I know I can. My experiment of going back to the closer short course & a cheaper membership once more, did not work as planned. I'd intended to play more often & use that membership to get a reduced rate on the main course, but my familiarity with both meant I really didn't seem to have the incentive to play that it should have meant. So I probably played less than I have since I started a few years ago

I need to re-attain my handicap & get it down from the official 28, to get it down to the 14 I know I'm more than capable of getting it to. As there seem to be too manny silly shots & my short game & putting is not what it was this time 12 months ago.

Today, I Joined Lichfield Golf & Country Club So Next season starts tomorrow with a session in the gym & will book myself in for a round to see how the course plays over the winter. And the winter will be golf & gym intensive.

1. Re-attain Handicap.

2. Work on short game to stop or at least reduce silly avoidable errors.

3. Work on Keeping less nervous on the course & calmer in general. So that I'm enjoying my game than being frustrated with it. In other words work on my mental side of the game.

4. Reduce handicap to around 14 over the next 12 months.

5. Improve my general fitness, turn the barrel into somethng with more in common with a sixpack than it is now. I'll settle for a small keg..rofl

6. Enter Competitions again in 2009 To maintain a re-attained handicap

 

[haplesshacker]

Go back to yacht racing and gliding if I can't hit this years target / goal!

Other than that, with another sprog due in April, I think my hands are going to be busy elsewhere.

Probably why this years goal is so important to me as next year I won't be able to get out as much.

 

[happyhacker]

Well the season has finished with me dropping from 28 to 19 and I am gutted. Really wated to get down to 15 or lower but I am far too erratic off the tee at the moment.

So target for next season is driving accuracy which should see me moving towards a bakers dozen. On the v few weeks my woods are on I can just as easily shoot 80 as I can 90 when they are not!

 

[RGuk]

To improve my consistency.
Then, try to get on some teams. I might not beat my h'cap in comps, but at least I don't score 10-12 over my h'cap like the boys on the team, who seem to lose quite often. I wonder why??
Oh....and to get my draw back....and find 10% more distance.

 

[blindpete]

I will, again, spend the winter on the driving range. I hope to get down from 18 to 14 but more importantly I hope to play more often, at least twice a week. Improving my general fitness, I have let it slip in the last few years, with regular gym sessions and less lager!! Also, having met two forumers this year I hope to meet more.

 

[NotQuiteTiger]

To nail one about 300 yards off the 1st tee.

Might not happen.

 

[Jabba]

1: Reduce my handicap from 26 to the teens.

2: Attain some consistency. Last week I went round in 101, this week 89 and next week could be anywhere from 85 to 110.

3: Learn to love my wedges.

4: Practice and improve my approach putts.

5: Be a man and start to count my putts per round.

6: Fight the urge to take anti depressants after I start counting my putts.

 

[viscount17]

1. get a short game (lessons over the winter)

2. put a round together

3. get cut

 

[ColinR]

Simple, from 17 to sub 12.

 

[theeaglehunter]

I want to be off a maximum of 10 by this time next year, and if I complete my main aim, which is to find a regular partner, I am sure I will be able to do this. The reason for the finding a partner is that whilst I have about a dozen people who I can contact and arrange a game with at some point, I do not have someone who I can play with every Sunday for example meaning there are weeks on end sometimes where I don't get out on the course. The trouble is everyone already seems to have a fourball they are apart of and play with weekly. If I started doing this my handicap would tumble. Another goal would be to work on my short game as well, which will involve the purchase of 3 new wedges and a new putter. Whilst I intend to replace my driver on the release of the titleist 909 range in the coming weeks.
