Spend 6 hours a week working on my short game. Hit 100 balls at the range 3 times a week, play 54 holes a week, and shoot 80 at my home course here in Fort Collins.

1. Handicap Below 20 (Currently Reached)
2. Break 90 Consistently (2/12 So Far)
3. Practice At Least Twice A Week (Currently Doing)
4. Get Fitted And Buy New Clubs (In Progress)
5. 36 Or Less Putts Per Round (9/12 So Far)
6. More Than 9 G.I.R Per Round (0/4 So Far)
7. Better Than 50% Fairways (0/4 So Far) [/QUOTE]

My new goal is to make golf (actual golf, not chatting on here) part of my daily routine, even if it is simply making slow motion practice swings and putts in the living room.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

1) I would like to be more consistant with shaping my shots.

2) I would like to reduce my handicap to a 7 or 8.

3) I would like to play a round with 36 putts or less.

Whats in my Tour Cart II bag:

Driver - 09' Speedline 9.5°
3W - 09' Launcher
2i Hybrid - 10' Launcher DST3i Hybrid - 09' Launcher with ACCRA AC85 M4Irons (4-PW) - 10' AP2 with Dynamic Gold S300GW - 10' 54° CG15LW - 10' 60° CG15Putter - Method 001


  1. Play once a week and practice twice a week.
  2. Take at least 5 lessons.
  3. Break 45 (or 90 if I ever get around to playing 18).
  4. Learn to hit my driver farther (forward) than my hybrid.

1) Hit the fairway on my drives 80% of the time
2)Average 32 putts per round

This would save me about 5 strokes per round at least.
What's in my Bag
Driver R7 9.5 Stiff

Wedge Vokey Spin Milled 52, 56, 60Putter Studio Select Newport 2.0Ball NXT

Well I'm making it my goal to make the high school team, and lower my scores to about 80 average. I'm getting around 85 now.


 
 


My only goal for this year is to start playing again!

Back in January, I had surgery to reconstruct my anterior cruciate ligament. For 4 months I never touched a golf club and only started doing some short game work at the start of June.

Last week I progressed onto hitting short irons and it was a huge relief / boost to discover the swing was still there. A bit tentative, but still there.

I'm planning to progress to a full round of golf at the start of July

In the bag...

G10 9° Driver
G10 17° 4 Wood
G10 21° Hybrid i15 4-PW Tour-W Wedges 50/12 & 56/10 Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 (35")Balls - Bridgestone B330-RX

Play 3 rounds a week

Get better.
WAY better.

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.


I just started playing this year. I currently shoot around the 104 - 107 mark consistently. I did get a 99 once. My goal this season is shoot in the low 90's and play as much golf as possible.
