What is a good goal to set for myself this summer?

[HookEmHorns]

Hey y'all,

Been a while since I've posted.. I'm really itching to get out and play some golf again this summer!
What I'm wanting to know is what is a good goal to set for myself? I don't really know exactly what I shoot on average, since my game is so inconsistent. I think I want to set a goal for 9 holes, since I will gradually work my way up to 18 holes throughout the summer.

So what is a good goal to set as far as scores go? I don't really know where I want to get to so that is kind of messing up my other goals on how to get there. haha.

Thanks!

Always a good goal to practice more than you play, if you really want to improve your game :)

what is the par and length and a rough description on the slope of the course

[HookEmHorns]

I can't really remember off hand, I have all my cards from the courses at home... Which is about 4 hours away from me at school. haha. Kind of a problem there. I usually play about 2 different golf courses, sometimes 3 but it depends on who I go with.
I found the links to the courses right after I typed that stuff up above... haha. Here is Norwoods and Mosswood Meadows information.
I usually go to Norwoods more often, but I have been to Mosswood Meadows a few times as well.

Thanks,

well if your handicap is a 30, try to break 95 at least 5 times this summer?

Improve your short game (putting, pitching, chipping, bunkers,...) and low scores will come by themselves.

Hey y'all,

I think bogey golf is a good goal, and attainable if you make an effort to improve the weak points in your game. In addition to short game practice (as lugonza suggested), I would say make sure you understand course management.

Geez louise those are some tight driving holes at Mosswood (based on the pictures). I'd focus on a go-to tee ball (3 wood or 2 iron - whatever floats your boat) and keeping the ball in play with a smooth swing - take plenty of club.

A 50 would be a great score there for a 30 hdcp!

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to aim for about 45-50... I'm having a lot of problems with my irons mainly. I used my driver off the tee and made the fairways most of the time. I've been reading and doing all I can to get ready to practice and play while the weather has been cold. Hopefully I can get out and practice when the weather finally does warm up.

Thanks again everyone! Any other suggestions are welcome!
