Decided to take golf seriously since 1/2009. As such, my goals are:

1. Get a fairly consistent, powerful swing
2. See how much that lowers my double bogey per hole handicap
3. Learn a short game and putting technique that works for me
4. See where the dust settles and evaluate my game/handicap at the end of the year

Play at least 2-3 rounds a week.

Practice my putting for two or more hours a week.

Have a repeatable short game. This will also require practice.

Play with a relaxed confidence.

Stop sweeping so much with my irons. It was ok when I started, but now I need to hit down more.

Find a driver that works with my swing.

Main goal : Become a scratch golfer by the time I turn 17 (I am 16 now).

Next : Get down to 22-26 putts a round.

Next : Hit EVERY green in regulation.

-I play everyday in the summer + school golf which is going on now so I think I can get it :)

my golf goals for 2009 are
-Break 90
-Do not get angry on the course eg chuck club, swear etc
-More consistent golf shots

If I hit it right, it's a slice. If I hit it left, it's a hook. If I hit it straight, it's a miracle.

Since my bag got stolen in the middle of the season last year, and I didn't have the cash to replace it, now that I have saved up goal number 1 is to buy a new set!
Goal number 2 is to play as often as possible
Goal number 3 is to hit around 90 consitantly.
Looking for some equipment advice through this forum.

2) GIR up to 40% (Currently 25%)
3) FW up to 60% (Currently 45%)
4) Eliminate disastrous holes (No quads or higher)
5) Get my first Eagle

My goals are simple but hard too:

1) Improve putting (I want to avg. 31 putts a round)
2) Get GIR to around 40%
3) Shave about 3 strokes off handicap (now it's an 11)
4) 1x every 3 months, play a premium round ($80 or more)

* Break into the 70's
* Fix my Tendinitis so I can actually play more
* Since the Tendinitis is making me not be able to swing a club, improve my short game and putting.
