Your 2009 Personal (Golf) Goals

[Hackerpratt]

Practice: 6 hours a week when I don't play, 4 hours when I do. Be deliberate in my practice. Think about balance, rhythm and patience, not just technique. Make putting 18% of my practice time.

Mental: Stay in the present. Visualize rounds before I play and shots before I swing. Commit to each shot before I swing.

Keep stats - I just bought Scorecard

Golf Tournaments - Win club champ, shoot even par or better in US Open and US Am qualifiers, qualify for the US Mid AM, finish in the top 10% of the South Carolina state am and win the Hilton Head Am.

[Razorhog]

Practice More and Break 100.

[miller72]

ok my goals are
1) to get down to a 1 handicap or below
2) to finish in the top 2 every tourney i play in this year
3) to help my team at least be a contender for state (we are a very small school)
4) shoot at least one or two rounds below par 72
5) have more fun
6) play more rounds. ( instead of one or two per week, maybe 3 or 4 per week, if my homework allows.)
7) turn 15!!

[ks8829]

shoot 68 or lower.

[Hobie]

To break 90 and stay inthe 80's...but life happens and getting the time to commit to the practice is tough...

I hope everyone achieves thier goals !!

[griecke]

I just want to break 90. Then 85. I just started playing in July of '08 after I retired. I just know I can score better.

I don't know if it's retirement or golf but I'm having the best time of my life.

[kuteazn1]

My goal was to break 100 and I did that New Years Day... shot a 97
now my goal is to shot mid 80 by summer and high 70 by the end of the year....
I know I can do it...

[atrapasuenos]

1.- Breack 80's consistently.
2.- Continue working on my swing.

Regards!

[Franco!]

Win the Colonial Conference Championship.

[David in FL]

I've never been much of a stats guy, but this is the year I'm going to commit to focusing on a couple of simple stats and trust that they'll drive a better result......

FIR's < 65%
GIR's < 50%
Putts < 33

Overall I'd like to see at least one sub-par round and a handicap index below 4.5.......all with an absolute minimum of 50 rounds played.

[se7en]

1. have 18 putt round
2. break 80
3. enjoy the game

[JtotheD]

Make my putting stroke consistent and automatic....

Use my legs more as leverage in my swing rather than have them so passive....

Hit every fairway....

Last but not least.....Win the City Championship....

[ScottRempel]

1. Practice more (never used the range last year, this year I will get a membership)

2. More consistent ball striking

3. Lower handicap into single digits

4. Shoot Par on 18 at home course

[Scott_Tee]

I hope/wish, that I can play more Golf. It all boils down to moola, I wish the economy would turn around !

[MSDOGS1976]

Improve my short game. Chipping and putting. And I did make progress towards the end of the year. I going to spend most of my extra time around the practice green. I'm a 6.5 HC and think I can get to 5 with just a little improvement here.

[Crafty]

This goal is probably a bit lofty and chances are it won't happen (at least anytime soon) barring a so called "miracle round". But here goes:

My dad was an awesome golfer in his days fresh out of college. I worked at a country club as an assistant professional and played in some small events as well. His best round ever was a 63 at the Eisenhower Air Force golf course (i believe, the name is probably not quite right though).

To put it simply, I want to beat that

[Par Fore]

Break 80....far too many 80-85's, need to break mental barrier
Practice....at least two sessions, 2 hours each, weekly
Play.....at least every other week, regardless of work schedule
Leave...tough holes behind me - one shot at a time, leave the past behind

[moshdirtjumpr]

I need to exercise more and maybe lose a few lbs. At the course, I am going to practire putting alot more. Maybe this year I can beat the father in law!
