cruel, reminding me of this!
1 get below 100 every time, failed, although the low scores are getting lower (and I got called a bandit for the first time!)
2 practice putting - cut down the three putts - <font color="orange"> not as often as I would have liked, need somewhere else to practice!
3 practise short game - <font color="orange">still need the practice
4 keep it straight! - <font color="orange"> more like coning; at least the really wide ones are less frequent and I hit the greens more often
5 don't get so hung up on achieving goals that I forget to enjoy it - Passed, despite going the wrong way I've enjoyed it.

1) To get cut from 14 to 10 - Only managed to get to 13 and since then its gone back up
2) To win at least one monthly medal/stableford - Won the October stableford
3) To reduce my average putts from 36 to 32-30 - According to SS2 I'm currently averaging 33.34
4) To improve from 100 yards in - In my mind I have but in reality still not hitting close enough and my scrambling stats are rubbish
5) To enjoy myself and remember it is only a game!!! - I think I have been less worried about my performances. I had a shocker in the 1st round of the club championship (just broke 100) but still went out and played and enjoyed the 2nd roumd
I guess I achieved 2 out of 5 (2 and 5) although 3 and 4 are still works in progress

Well it wasn't a great year, but,
Targets are,
1) Better performance with the driver. Get the ball on the fairway. It makes life so much easier.
SS2 Stats show 66% of fairways hit this season. It may not have felt like that but that's what the stats say
2) Practice short game as much as possible. This is where I need to play well to score well.
SS2 Stats show a 19% birdie conversion which is 5 better than target.
3) Handicap back down to 7-8. I know I can play at this level, I did three years ago when i did put in the effort with 1 & 2 above.
Not this year. Consolidation was the target this year. Other than last 5 comps played in very wet conditions I had been consistent and had hcp no higher than start of season. Next year maybe try for 9, more realistic.

I wanted to get from 20 to 14 - official hcap is now 19 but playing to 14, just can't manage that in the comps.
Have now got to 15 official but my unofficial swindle 'cap is now 12. Very happy bunny in the first instance as I'm playing to 12 anyway! As this is my first full year back playing I'm doubly happy about getting back to the same sort of form as of 7 years ago, particularly as Aberdovey is tougher!
