What are your golfing goals for 2015?

[mcbroon]

I've put improve my handicap, because that's always my aim, but really I want to play more next year. I only played 4 comps in 2014 and couldn't get any consistency on the go at all. So I'll be happy if I get to play more but I'll be double happy if I get the h/c down.

In terms of other targets, I want to make more birdies. I don't make nearly enough.

Quite simply to get into category 1 handicap. Winning another gold leaf comp would be a bonus.

Next year I want to get down to 12. Dropped from 27.6 to 21.3 this year, more hard work over the winter and a greater emphasis on my short game.

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

I was wondering why east, Pete tells everyone where he plays golf, hadn't heard him say north east.

i plant to break 80 in a medal round and hopefully get to single figures

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

Que?

Que?

Not aimed at you, there is a certain poster takes great delight in furnishing his incorrect handicap in his signature as a cat 1 when he's not but to be fair he probably drifts in and out of cat 1.

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

Get your eyes off my trophy you, I fights durty, I tell yer!

We'll have the final at a hard course this year.:whoo:

I took great delight in getting to cat 1 and have drifted around it all year long

I did the updates for H4H HC challenge but at once stage just forgot to change my HC in my signature ( because I had sigs switched off ) - I have changed clubs etc and didn't bother changing signature - just didn't think about it

It's only when two certain posters then started to post hints about etc that I had an idea they were talking about me - they then when I stage further and started to get pretty nasty about to the point of calling me a liar etc - a few others followed suit as well.

My sigs are still turned off so I don't take "great delight in furnishing" - I just leave it there now because it doesn't bother me one single bit but it appears to really get under the skin of a couple posters - one who goes to the level of posting people poor scores on here.

Sorry mate - must check spelling next time

 

[Cheifi0]

Planning on trying to focus my practice a bit better and not put as much focus on my handicap....... which will in turn hopefully will bring my handicap down.

 

[MashieNiblick]

I really just want to be able to play good golf more of the time, and cut out the mistakes and poor shots and poor rounds. I've therefore voted for more consistency. If I can do that I'm not too fussed whether that leads to my handicap improving or just staying where it is. That will take care of itself.

 

[Crow]

I put consistency.
I've was always believed that the lower your handicap the less likely you were to play a really bad round.

I've recently had a 19 and a 21 point Stableford return.
Okay, I know my handicap flatters my true ability but those scores are not what I should be making.

For next year I'll be mostly playing with a shorter backswing and not trying to hit the ball too hard.

Well done. I don't think i'll ever get there

 

[HawkeyeMS]

Having failed miserable with last years goals I'd just be happy to play better.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

As long as you enjoy yourself on a golf course - i dont think HC or score should ever matter tbh
