What are your golfing goals for 2015?

[bladeplayer]

Hi guys. I'm new to the forum. I'm relatively new to golf and this year was my first year of being a member of a club. My handicap is 23.5 but I'm hoping to significantly reduce this with a lot of lessons and practice over the winter. I'm starting to really hit the ball well but my handicap doesn't reflect this.

My biggest weaknesses at the moment are course management. My misses can be very errant when I'm not swinging well. Often big pulls so I need to eradicate this from my game as it puts me out of holes and ruins my scorecards.

I'm only 25 so I feel like I have a lot of room for improvement.

Welcome along ,
course management = easily sorted , get an experienced player to give ya a few tips ,
the swing ? well as most will tell ya the pro is the way to go , if your serious about the game this will improve your game and put more enjoyment in it , @25 you have youth and time on your side , enjoy every second of it you get to play

If it happens, it'll happen naturally but don't want to get too obsessed. If I go to any of the courses I fancy, may never happen but probably willing to accept that.

you could just lie......you wouldn't be the first

Consistency for me. I surprised myself by smashing all the goals I set for myself this year, but next year will be much harder without finding a consistent game and avoiding the one or two-hole card wrecking scores. I now know I'm capable of scoring in the low to mid 70's but I need to work on it happening more often. I just need to find the time to practice...

No reason why you can't get really low Jim, you have a great swing and plenty of power. if i can get to Cat1 with my barn door, it should be a breeze for you.

Continue to enjoy playing golf

Don't really set "goals" in terms of results and HC so just to enjoy and play as much as a can

This ^^^^

I'd love to knock 6.2 off the handicap. The sooner the better really but as long as by the years end it's lower than it started then that's progress.

Hoping to get down to single figures.

 

[Whereditgo]

I went for lowering of my handicap and if I can just keep the ball in play off the tee then it should come as the rest of my game is pretty solid now.

Embarking on a series of lessons to try to get a more consistent stroke with the driver.

Will also enter a few opens this year to play competitive golf on new courses.

Cat 1 at my current course OR move to another in the area, and probably be cat 2 for life.

Good luck mate - fully expect you to be there when we do our little trip to the North East :thup:

 

[golfsaint]

Just in the last 2 weeks reached single figures 😁 so my main goal is to maintain or better my handicap & ideally win a big comp.

 

[Lump]

Want to get down to playing off 3. The game is in their but need to start hitting higher % fairways and greens to really push on.

Looking to move to a new club in the new year too which Im looking forward too. If golf in 2015 is anything like 2014 I'm going to be a happy man.

 

[philly169]

I've put win a club competition, mainly a singles major or minor.

My game at the moment is in pretty good condiition, finishing in the top 10's in the last few boarded comps. I've been shooting some good scores at my course and others, even managed to win with a 44 pointer.

Hopefully as well drop down handicap wise, id say 14, but id like lower and now my game is more consistent and my swing in good form it could be a reality more than a dream.

To enjoy my golf, this year has been a hard one on the course and I've been pressuring myself to much, I couldn't take my range work to the course. Next year I'm just going to let it flow and see what scores come.

Thanks Patrick. It's meeting the expectations other people have of me and my swing that I've found most difficult! I will get there though, cat1 beckons. It's just practice and mental approach.

East? Whats the relevance?

 

[virtuocity]

Cat 2, pushing towards single figures (says the guy who set out to get to 18 handicap when he started this stupid game). Also want to play more courses as I struggle to adapt to courses I don't know.

 

[Val]

I got lucky, I did all I hoped for this year, dropped from 14.0 to 11.5 (aim was 12) broke 80 in medal for the first time at my course (shot 78) win a comp outright (last medal of the year).

Next year? Tough, hope to get to 10 or better but finishing below where I start would be a good year.

Enter a few top class gents opens, Royal Aberdeen again at the top of the list.

Finally, and this is the major one, win the NWOOM

Goals for 2015? To enjoy playing golf every time I go out. Not take it too seriously and let it affect my enjoyment.
To play more and be out in the fresh air with good company, enjoying my hobby.
Enough stress at work without taking stress to my hobby.

No idea why that auto corrected to East when I typed West ?! Should have proof read that !

 

[Captainron]

Need to drop into single figures. 3.1 shots over the next season is required
