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.

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.

  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.

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

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.

Goals:

1. Gain confidence in my driver
2. Play at least 4 rounds a month (tough with work/school)
3. Re-Establish my handicap

I am sure the list will grow, but that is what I have at the moment.

    • Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.
    • I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.    
    • The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
    • Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.
    • No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
