Since I only started playing golf last April (at the age of 32) I'm trying to keep my goals attainable. I shot an 83 and a 78 last year, but it was on a very easy (par 69) course with extremely wide fairways and almost no hazards. I was able to shoot under 110 consistently on the better courses in my area. My goals for this year are to break 100 on a consistent basis at those courses and consistently break 90 at the easy course.


PS: Another goal is to take some lessons!

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

1. Established a firm 20 handicap, now to shoot for 15
2. Break 85
3. Take 2-3 lessons
4. Really concentrate on course management
5. Keep detailed statistics of every round this year (already started)
6. Win our 3-day buddy golf trip, coming up April 5th
7. Swing analysis and custom fitted clubs

All of these will not be possible without practice. That is #0.

become a better mental golfer and play against the course rather than competing against the others in the group

Overall goal.
1. Qualify for the national tour.
then to get there,
2. handicap down to scratch in 4 months.

To get there,

3. Increase distance.
4. increase accuracy approach shots.
Generic work,
5. working out - loosing weight getting fit.
6. Technical on swingplane, proper turn.

2 goals

1) commit to every shot and get rid of all the swing thoughts
2) more consistency off the tee with my driver

1. Improve my short game.

To give a quick update early in the season

1. I am averaging 1.5 putts per round through my first 4 rounds of the year 2. I have lost the rest of the weight that i needed too, but i have not seen my distances increase 3. Well I doubt I will ever be consistent 4. I shot an 84 last week Maybe I needed tougher goals

My goal is to break 100. I shot it 3 times last year. I hope to be playing in the mid 90's by the end of this year. I need to work on my putting and my long iron shots. And last to take a couple lessons and play more than last year.

No lofty goals, just

1. make Stack & Tilt work for me
2. play golf shot by shot
3. hit every shot just right in the middle of the club face

Will see where to go after hitting my first milestone (1.) hopefully in late April.

1. Win the Masters

If I fail at #1, these will be my 'back-up' goals:

2. Establish a handicap index
3. Practice more than I play
4. Play an entire round with only one ball

  • Shoot decent in U.S. Open Qualifying
  • Earn the 3-Peat Club Champion
  • Qualify for State Match Play
  • Win Two Matches in Match Play
  • Play well in USGA Public Links Qualifier
  • Eliminate unnecessary double bogies

Let's hope I keep to this...

..eliminate my unforced errors..out of 4 out of 5 ways to hit a decent shot, I should have NO EXCUSE why I chose to hit that 1 inexcusable one.

1.My main goal is to break 90 and stay in the 80's.I had 90 last weekend,my best is 86 last summer.Usual score mid to low 90's.
2.Straighten out my fade/slice with driver.
3.No 3 putts(that alone would drop me 6 or so strokes a match)

    • Day 132: did some mirror work while watching TV. Worked on backswing stuff primarily. 
    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
