What’s your golfing target for 2021?

[Hobbit]

Maybe play a few holes, or a bit of chipping and putting...

 

[jamiet7682]

Get HI down to 20. Currently at 31.4.

 

[Grizzly]

Thanks, I'll try that mindset. I reckon it'll last till about the second hole mind!

News! I have an official handicap!

OK, its terrible (20.2) but its still official. And my wife brought champagne to celebrate, so I'm happy!

 

[The Dog.]

Get handicap below 2. Play a couple of new courses in the top 100 and see if I can get down to Portugal with my clubs before the end of the year.

That's not terrible at all. You're not far off bogey golf, that's fine.

 

[BubbaP]

Enjoy playing golf again.

Try and qualify for the Senior British Open.

Don't know if you are still dropping in, belatedly caught up on your travails - sorry to hear about the back. Missed a couple of comps myself but not to the same degree.
Fingers crossed...

 

[TogoPresley]

1. Get my new clubs - heads in tomorrow.
2. Single figure handicap - basically need a couple of 83s in the next few rounds.
3. Break 80 - shot 80 and couple of 81s with some very obvious mistakes recently, frustrating!

 

[davidy233]

Try to get a driver on the planet on the Old course (driver is awful the moment) - outside that respectable round at Gleneagles next week.

 

[nickjdavis]

I guess thata #(apologies...i've bben om an berwing meeting this ewveniugn and my tyoing is abyrsml) i8l be very happy if mmy index is down to single figures byr the end oif octiober .

cnt expect more than that...we;ll ican b ut my finmgers cant convey it vian the keyboard

Shot a gross 74 tonight (best score for six years according to my playing history) which along with a few other decent recent rounds should see me down to 8.7.

Target achieved 3 months early!!!

 

[HeftyHacker]

Mine was to try and get to single figures but I'm nowhere near and will be playing a lot less golf in a couple of months time... my aim is now to break 80, which I feel is doable at my home course. Just.

Just seen this pop back on the front page and thought I'd update that I achieved this back in May with a 78. Of course my form then dropped off a cliff and I never got near to replicating it for a couple of month but I've had a couple of very low 80s scores recently so hopefully I can manage it again but in a competition round.

 

[BiMGuy]

I didn't really set any targets, as I didn't really know what to expect of my golf as a returning player.

But now I've been playing regularly and almost have some consistency I have a couple of goals.

Firstly, and most importantly. I'm trying to get a consistent ball flight. I'm currently hitting it a bit too high and a bit too spinney which is causing inconsistency with distance control. I've had a couple of lessons to try and sort it.

This should hopefully improve GIR or at least proximity to the green. And help being confident picking a landing spot.

I'd like to think I can break 80 and get my index into single figures. Currently sitting at 10.3

 

[Piece]

One for the website - now we’re all back playing have you got a specific goal for this year?

Funny or serious, anything works

Mine remains to hit a normal chip under pressure (and find a normal pair of golf trousers)

Just to play, that's all.

 

[BobbyP]

1. Start playing again after 20 years out of the game (TICK)
2. Re-discover my love for golf (TICK)
3. Get to a stage where I'm not walking off the course frustrated after each round (IN PROGRESS BUT GETTING THERE!)

 

[r0wly86]

as always, get under 5 handicap. Win some competitions.

Play some Top 100 courses this year

 

[garyinderry]

Simple one.

Stop hooking everything and go with the fade.


Happily back in the fade camp and playing well.

 

[GreiginFife]

Try and keep dobbing it round in under 80 like I have been and, most importantly, enjoy just being able to play golf again.

 

[patricks148]

At the moment it's to get my handicap from 3... up a few shots

 

[bradleywedge]

I play different courses so don't have an official handicap. I put all my scores into golfshake which determines an approx. hcap. My goal at start of season was to get down to 15 (off 18), I have achieved that, but just crept up slightly 15.5 now, aim is to just try and stay round there and cut out the 100+ rounds (of which I have only had 1 in the last 11 rounds), so getting there.

 

[rulefan]

My target will, as ever, be the ball.
As soon as I take my eye off it, it moves.

 

[clubchamp98]

Get back to 4 or under.
Not sure if this new WHS will help or hinder.
