My goals for this year were to break into the 70's. Last year I was in the low to mid 80's on a good day.

I have forced myself to practice more this year. Putting, Chipping and at the driving range. I try to at least putt and chip 4 time a week for 1-2 hours. This is the part of the game that I and most amateurs struggle with. This year I have had a lot of improvement. I also try to hit balls at least twice a week.

Well at the end of May I achieved my goal for the year. I shot a 79 and that was with a double bogey on the last hole. GRRRR. Since then I have played quite a few times and have played very consistent.

Then just last weekend I had everything working. I started the day out birdie, par, birdie. I was just waiting all day for that one bad hole or two I usually have, but they never came. I ended the day with a 73, hitting 14/18 GIR. Hopefully I can keep playing consistent and shoot in the 70's a few more times this year.

My goal in January was to reduce my handicap from 23 to 18, i managed to get it to 21 early in the year when i was playing once a week, for the last two months i have been playing 2-3 times a week and have lost another 2 strokes. i am scoring well at the moment so i definetly think i will achieve my goal very soon.

Practice my short game much more. I seriously am one of the worst putters ever. I can generally play some great sand shots, chips, pitches, etc. Whenever I get the flat stick in my hands is when everything falls apart. I just don't understand. My handicap right now is a 2.2 and I guarantee that it isn't less than .5 because of my putting.

Become more consistent I generally shoot mid-low 70's everwhere, but every now and then an upper 70's to an 80 will sneak in there and mess me up.

Confidence I have none of this. Mainly because of my putter. Build my confidence level with the series of tournaments I am about to start playing in so that walking onto my schools golf team will be a breeze when I finish my Co-op.

I have just a few weak areas in my game that I can recognize. It's frustrating because I know if I can take care of those then I know I can compete with just about anyone.

I want to consistantly hit 90 or better & never ever venture into the 100's again.

3 aspects of the game I need to work on are pitching, putting & confidence.

My revised goals for this year are to get under a 10 handicap by the end of the year, and to get more consistent with driving accuracy and lag putting. Those two are killing my game and I can save five if not ten strokes a round that way.

My goal by year's end is to be a single digit handicapper. If I can move from 13 to a 9 or 8 I will be happy. I would ideally like for my bad days to be no worse than an 85 and my good days to be down around 75.

My goal this year, is to break 80. I've shot a few 9 hole scores in the 30's, but can never put two sides together. My personal best is an 82, which I've shot 3 or 4 times. A decent round for me is usually 84-86.

    • Wordle 1,032 3/6 🟨⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 LOL!
    • So it's been a bit but things have been busy on my end. I have had a couple of range sessions lately and the first wasn't great but the last went really well. I started concentrating on just getting my shoulder behind the ball and it has made a world of difference. I think prior I had been thinking way too much over the ball but once I get my grip and setup done it's just one thought. My strikes were much more pure and distance despite a strong wind was very good.  I weighed in yesterday at 235. This journey started 2 years ago in May when I stepped on the scale and had 321 staring back at me. My knees feel so much better and feel stronger than I have in years. Not sure what weight I'll land on and try to maintain but I'm really pleased with the progress. 
    • Two things I bring up when it comes to this discussion. One is if you have let's say two towns next to each other, one has a population of 10,000 people and the other has a population of 1,000 people. Let's also say that they never play golf against each other. Only among themselves. In the first town, you have one guy who has won 15 events, then a couple of guys who won 6, a couple who won four and a bunch of people who won three, two and one events. In the second town, you have one guy who won 18 events, then a guy who won 11, a guy who won 9, a guy who won 8, a couple who won 7, a couple who won 3-5 and then a few 2s and a few 1s. Who's the best golfer? It's possible it's the guy who won 18, but it's pretty unlikely. Far more likely to be the guy who won 15 in the much bigger town.  In the same way, I view the fact that there is more parity in the 1990 and onwards world than there was in the pre 1990 world as a plus for Tiger. It's much harder to stand out if the fields are deeper, stronger, better. If there are a handful of players who win all of them, that tends to suggest weakness to me, not strength. The other thing is Ed White. Harvey Penick talked about him in one of his books. Ridiculously good at the game, but no one ever heard of him, because he got a job and didn't play professionally. There was no money in it and he needed security, so he took a job that paid him steadily. No clue how many people there are out there like him, but if he was around today, he'd be playing pro golf for sure. If he had played professionally, Penick sure seemed to think he'd have been one of the best of all time. Fred Haas played him in a college match and got stuffed. 40 years later he walked into Penick's shop and saw Ed White's picture on the wall and, after a full career playing pro golf, he said that Ed White was the best player he ever saw. Those 40 years would presumably have included at least some of Jack. I can see why people might say Jack is the GOAT. I don't agree, but I can at least understand why they say it. IMO there is no argument you can make for anyone other than Tiger to be the BOAT though. At least not yet.
    • A good option is to play the Par 3 courses. after playing an 18 -hole round. The Par 3 courses have 18 holes, we usually played only 9 holes after playing 36 holes on each of the trips we had. You may want to check out Grand National while you're in the middle of Alabama. I enjoyed Oxmoor Valley and Ross Bridge courses which are a short drive north.
    • In August, I am playing the World Am in Myrtle Beach. I do not know which courses yet, but should be a blast. Aside from that, those are the only golf trip plans, unless I play while on vacation in Destin in June.
