ok so i have a very good opportunity to work on golf. I recently quit my job and sold my house to start my own business which gives me some extra free time. also i am taking lessons at a local course and with those lessons i get free use of the range as much as i want. i started playing golf again in september. before i went on hiatus i was shooting high 70's low 80's. no official handicap or anything. since starting in september again i started at mid 90's now I'm down to mid-high 80's. my goal is to be a scratch golfer by my birthday in september. it is my new years resolution and i figure i'll make a golf journal thing of rounds i play (including tournaments on the Am tour i joined) sooooooo here we go

Cool... I like stuff like that.  I enjoy keeping my own journal and looking back on it from time-to-time.  It doesn't seem that too many people here actually respond to things like that, but... it's still cool to keep one for yourself.

Good luck with your year and playing towards your goal.

I look forward to following along.

It's a goal... it's not life-or-death.  I don't understand the need for passive-aggressive posts like these.

I'm sure when you first learned to play golf, you had a goal to become a single digit handicap.  You're there now.  Perhaps his goal is slightly more specific in that he wants to become a scratch golfer by September.  Is that reason to reply like you did?

He's looking for support.  If you're not willing to support him, j ust let it be.

Perhaps the world would be a better place to live if people who fail at their goals didn't tear down the goals of others?

I have no words of wisdom for you, except that you need to have a plan for years down the road, money wise.

Other than that, all I can say is good luck to you, and hope both goals are met.

When I saw the title of the thread I figured I should post this :-P

Good luck with the new business.  With the golf, it's good to set goals but be specific with how you want to achieve them, identify the steps you need to take to get there.  Write them down or post them here.

As a small business owner free time is not generally a luxury if you want some success. Especially if you have a family. Be prepared to get up very early. I am starting year four of a five year plan, which is probably still unrealistic. One year is tough, hopefully you have a lot of free time.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
