shoot par or under

[soloredd]

Well, I met a couple of my 2009 goals so here we go:

Well, I reached some of my goals, some others are still lagging.

1. HCP is at 19.9, I really killed myself early this year and let the thing get up to 21.8. Shooting for 17 by December. 2. Shot 84, so mark it off! 3. Still have 6 lessons sitting in my desk drawer I got for my birthday. Really need to stop procrastinating on that one. 4. Really improved here. Less driver, more punch outs to avoid trouble, lay up when necessary. 5. Have all my rounds of the year detailed. It's helped big time with practice. 6. Lost this one on the morning of the 2nd day. I did win one of the rounds though. 7. Had this done in April, got my clubs end of May. I love them, it's brought a new confidence to my game. 0. I've been practicing a lot, using the range 2-3 times a week. From this point on I'd like to get my HCP to 17, improve my putting from 38/round to 33. And I also would like to shoot <40 for a 9 hole total. I had even 40 earlier this week and should have been 38 but 3-putted 2 holes that both were GIR. Stupid.

Just started playing again in July after a 5 year break from golf. My goal for for this year was to break 100 consistently. I'm nearly there - I have the occasional bad round a few strokes above 100, but I've been in the mid-90's fairly often.

Because of where I am now, my goal for the rest of the golf season is to break 90. I shot 43 on a 9-hole course, and have shot 44-46 plenty of times on the front or the back, but haven't managed below 90 for a full 18. The 2011 goal will be to break 90 regularly.

I'm putting better, chipping better, my problem right now is consistency.

My goal is to try and not lose as many balls. Damn things get expensive after awhile.
There's nothing more demoralizing than seeing a fresh-out-of-the-box Pro-V1x go "splish."

[CJanaro]

Consistently break 90 - I can do the break 90 part I am just not consistent.

[KingMe]

break 80....I've had 81, and 83, but still looking for 79 or lower

[M2R]

Before the active season started, I chose 70 as a target score to post.

At the time I didn't consider that the course could be par 70, 71, or 72. Regardless 70 is still the number.

[Duffy]

Get my handicap to single digits. Made it but I'm back up to 10.7

[PockyStick]

Consistently break 90. Be more comfortable with my 7~9 irons.

[Stretch]

1. Establish my SAGA handicap.

I guess 1. and 2. are checked off. Time to get to work on 3.

How about this, having been on hiatus for some time from the forum I did not post 2010 goals nor did I post how I did for 2009. So here goes:

My 2009 Goals:

Your 2009 Personal (Golf) Goals Well 2008 was such a bad year that I really need to improve in 2009: - Improve the short game Using Utley's putting style my putting is finally coming around but my chipping, bunker play, pitching, etc are atrocious. Some serious work has to be put into the short game.

Tossed out the Utley method of chipping in March, it just didn't work for me. Since my short game has blossomed! My putting is better than it's probably ever been.

- Get the Driver under control Did this in 2007 and had a great year. Fought with it big time again this year. I have to get my fairways hit stat above 60%

Did this, my driver is well under control now. Being a bigger hitter I will never hit 80% of fairways but at least I keep it on the course now.

-Play some events outside my comfort zone I need to play at least one bigger amateur event in my section

Still haven't done this.

-Get my handicap back down to 0 I was a 0 or less most of 2007 and at the beginning of 2008 it has since crept up to almost 2.

This I have done.

-Keep my GIR up Hit over 66% of GIR, this was my saving grace in a horrible year. I have to keep this up and even improve if I can get the driver figured out. Some stats I want to improve: Stat________ Now/ Goal Fairways----44%/ 60% Total putts --33.19/ 31.5 up/down % --- 43%/ 60%

Unfortunately do to my crazy schedule I don't have the time to even keep stats anymore. I know I am hitting a lot of greens though.

I won the club championship at my club again so thats was always a goal as well.

My goal was to walk a full 18 holes this year. I posted earlier in the thread that I had a really bad accident June '09. I am proud to say on 10/14 I walked 18 holes. Hit the ball really well until I started running out of gas toward about 14. Still very happy to be able to get around the course on my own two feet.

To have a finished repeatable swing that requires only practice to maintain.

[hartwm]

break my personal best of -1 from tips at vb national... which means i need to improve my short game... the 75yd shots kill me

[PockyStick]

I hope to get my putts per round under 35 by the end of the year, which mostly mean working on my pitching game.

[larue]

my goal for the following year is to break 80

[Brant17]

My 2010 goal was to break 70 and I finally did that last week. I shot a 68. I am a very consistant 71 to 75 golfer. But I had never broken 70. I am going to set some new goals for 2011.
