What are your golfing goals for 2015?

[sawtooth]

I put join a new club because my current one is likely to close in April

Due to a possible change in club I wont set any handicap goals.

Need to spend hours and hours and hours next year practicing chipping and putting. Banish the 3 putts once and for all.

I can't see the poll on the mobile version, can't do smileys either :-(

My goal would be to finish the season lower than I start. I'm on 8.2 now so lower than that.

I smashed it this year. Started on 8.3..... Finshed on 8.2

If I could hit a driver and not hit all my wedges fat, I'd be dangerous

 

[kozmos]

other for me... start of the year was break 80, which soon became break 70.. I had my first putt for a 69 last Saturday, 10feet slight left to right dying at the end... well: spent to much time worrying about the line completely forgot about the pace leaving it 18 inches short ....... numpty!

A) to stop playing like a very bad chopper
b) to un groove the hideous over the top move that's akin to Jack Nicolson in The Shining which has lead to the point A

 

[Spear-Chucker]

Would like to help my lad get a handicap or at least well on the way. Hi short game is awesome but lacks strength to get the ball out there too far. With some consistency he could do it and achieve his target of being eligible to enter kids comps.

Don't have much planned personally, would like to win something as always and a hcp reduction is always nice. Long term goals of scratch and the official course record remain as ever and maybe always will... Guess the fun is finding out

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.

I havnt seen anyone be nasty and I am sure you'd quickly report them if they were.
If you are going to post false info, you can expect to be called out about it, nothing wrong in that.

Can't be too many bandits on here, because most seem to voted for improving their handicap (presumably downwards). I hope to hang onto my Cat 2 status in 2015, and single figures would be wonderful!

Sorry to hear that! 😒 Would that be Blue Mountain by any chance?

 

[matt71]

Could have ticked most of the options on the list but all lead to the main one in trying to reduce my handicap! Failed in my goal to get to 19 this year but will try and do it next year !

Done well knocking 5 shots off but know I can do better, just need to practice and play more and maybe the odd lesson ro two

 

[Curls]

I'm with the rabble in wanting to get my h/c down, it was falling nicely until I got called away with work. Haven't played since August when I posted my PB. Gutted!

Not been on here much either, I find it easier to deal with the pain of separation by not living vicariously through forumers triumphs and disappointments

 

[guest100718]

I am not setting any specific targets. But I will continue to practice over the winter and see where that take me next year.

 

[drewster]

Very keen to improve my handicap from the season ending's 12.5. I am also keen to try and embrace a couple of GM meets and with it meet some new likeminded folk and play a couple of new courses.

Hey Drewster - maybe we should get a Lincs meet going next year!

Just down the road from you, if you fancy a game at Grimsby anytime give me a shout.

 

[Khamelion]

I put find more consistency. In 2015 I'm not myself any goals, just going to play golf, the way I play golf, when I have time to play and see what happens after that.

 

[sportsbob]

Goals for 2015, I could have ticked all of the above! Would like to finish with single figure handicap though so went for that.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Quite simply to get to single figures. I've an unshakeable belief that I have enough skill to do so and just need to polish a few key areas and cut out some silly mistakes

 

[Andy808]

After this years highs with very few if any lows it's got to be get the handicap down and to get it down to single figures by next September.
I know I have it in me and it's consistency that is the key after shooting 12 over at the weekend with seven of those lost shots on two holes. Back nine was 3 over gross.

 

[bozza]

Get down to single figures for me, i've shown at times this year i have the ability to do it so no reason that after a winter of hard work i can't do it.

Also to play some new courses, hopefully some Open courses or other big name courses.

Plus to meet some new people off the forum as i've only met the North East lot and some of Yorkshire crowd.

 

[Dave B]

Over the winter I'm going to be working on my iron striking, transferring my weight and straightening out my drives. My objective is to drop 5-7 shots off my handicap which should be achievable with a bit of hard work and practice.

My chipping and putting are fine but my poor driving has killed my game this year

 

[Hobbit]

Play more golf, way more golf. Courtesy of work, I've played less than half the rounds this year than last year, and my handicap has drifted north. The boss's plans for next year already mean travelling further afield, but less of it, and I'm aiming to leave a set of clubs in Ireland so I can play when over there...
