Improver My Putting There has been way to many times that im inside 15 feet and i could easily make them for birdie, instead i decide to make a dumb stroke.
Win My Junior Club Champs I won it last year for the for time, do i hear a 2-peat
Win the Mens Club Champs My course where i play they let the winner of the junior club champs play in the mens. Not alot of great golfers at the course, last year i placed 5th and i was only 13, this year i'll be 14 and i wanna win!

my goal is to sneak away from work at least 5 times this year to play golf. /cough



other goal is to break 80 at least 5 times.


Main Goals:

Qualify for the Ontario Amateur
Finish Top 10 in 2 Fidra Midwest Collegiate Series Events
Drop handicap to under a 2
Whats in the Bag?

Titleist 907D2 - UST ProForce V2 65S
Callaway X-Tour 15* - Fujikira Tour Platform
Titleist 755 - DG S300TM RAC TP Wedges - 52, 56, 60YES! Tracy IITitliest PRO-V1
Current Handicap - 4

Focus: Learn to stay mentally focused for all 18 holes. My focus seems to fade after 12 or 13th hole.
Eliminate double bogeys: One or two a round makes me have to really grind it out to shoot a good overall score.
Play more by myself: I tend to get a lot more out of a round when I play alone and am not worried what others are doing.
Shoot par.
Play in some local tournaments.
Get better at 100yds. and in.

In the bag:
Driver: Taylor Made 09' Burner 9.5*
Woods: Nicklaus 18* Hybrid
Cobra DWS Baffler Hybrid 20*
Irons: Mizuno MX-200 4-Gw Project x 5.5Wedge: Cleveland Black Pearl CG14 54* & 58*Putter: Scotty Cameron TEI 3 Newport 2Balls: Prov1x


In order of priority from the top down, top being the most important...

Learn how to use a wedge properly . My current short-game is atrocious, within 70 yards or so of the green. Between the mishits, the fat shots, the occasional top (or worse: hitting right in the middle of the ball, causing it to fly on a much lower trajectory, usually rolling 30 yards or so over the green), I'd wager my short game is costing me 15 strokes per round. I'm also virtually unable to get up and down, my wedge shot leaves me in two-putt range, even if it was from 10 yards out. I think I should get a lesson with a pro and just spend an hour using the wedge to fix that.

Eliminate the gopher burner. Nothing's more frustrating than for me to hit a perfect drive on a long par 4 or 5, and then hit the 3 wood off the deck, watch the ball rise 3 feet off the ground and travel only 150 yards. I'd wager that two out of three of my 3 wood shots are like this. Most of the remaining third are fat shots, so I'm either hitting the top of the ball, or getting under it altogether.

Get a job. Although not directly related to golf, my golf game is probably suffering because I'm trying to pay for college on one hand, golf on the other, and I have no real income. I hit balls that probably belong in the river with no shame (Range balls--that even the driving range's gotten rid of.)

Finish regripping my clubs. I'd started getting new grips for my clubs about two weeks ago, replacing a handful of Lamkins (awful feel on the grip) with Winn G8's, but I ran out of money and had to scrimp--leaving my irons, sand wedge, and putter without new grips.

That's all I can think of now, except I'm working on fixing my grip, and I'm going to see how that goes.

Another goal for me--play at least 9 holes without losing a ball for once. The numer of balls I typically lose on a round of golf is atrocious--a few days ago I lost at least 8 balls on 18 holes, killing my score. It's mainly because I grip it and rip it, hitting the ball as hard as I can and then going looking for it. I get good range, but I end up two fairways over, in the deep rough, or out of bounds altogether.

Lower handicap - To lower my handicap to 15-18.
That's my main goal for the year.
In My Bag:
Driver: Cobra F Speed 10.5°, Aldila NV 55g Regular
3 Wood: Cobra F Speed 15°, Aldila NV 55g Regular
Irons: Cobra 2300 I/M 3-PW
Wedge: Cobra M 54°Putter: Yes! SophiaBall: TaylorMade TP Red

To work my way back physically into playing shape. To maybe suck it up and realize that I might need some super game improvement irons since I'm unable to get the ball up anymore. To stop looking at new putters when the one I have is just fine.

"I played like shit." -Greg Norman after the '96 Masters.


My goal last year was to break 90 consistently....this year is to shot 85 more often than not. By virtue of the 80's scores I want my handicap index to be 13.5 or better by season's end.

I just got a membership at the local course, so my goal is to shoot 85 consistently there after this summer.

Driver Ping G10 10.5*

Putter 33" Scotty Cameron Studio Select #2


Practice : Spend time on the range and short game practice at least once per week. Practice short shots after hours in a large school yard down the street.

Play : No less than once per week if I can help it. More often when I can.

Irons : Work on consistency. Get GIR's up in the 50% range. Find a set of irons that suits my game better and learn to love them.

Driver : Upgrade soon but work on fading the driver. I draw the ball on most every shot but an intentional fade would be helpful.

Putting : Practice lags and get the number down to 30 per round.

Mental : Be deliberate over every shot especially on the last 2-3 hole per round.

Family : Continue to play weekly with my 16-year-old daughter and help her break 100 by the end of the summer.

    • If you own a Stack radar…
    • If you own a Stack radar (for now, it's limited to Stack radar only), and want to work on your wedge game… it turns out that wedge distances are 99% correlated to ball speed. So, with a small radar, you can practice your wedge game easily in a gamified way.
    • Day 11: 2/16/2025 Rince and Repeat: Just like yesterday I spent several 5-10 minute sessions working on what I learned on Friday.   
    • Quick update. So, I got the PXG Secret Weapon and I have to say I like it... mostly. (see below) I spent some time with it on the range and I even gathered some data in doors. I'm not going to post data yet, as my swing is still a bit of a work in progress and I'd like to gather some more data after I settle down a little bit more. But here's my review.  First as a driver replacement. ... IMO it is not a replacement, it's clearly more of a supplement... for me anyway. Not long enough to really replace the driver. For me it's about 20 yards short of my driver. It is longer than my 30-wood off the tee. (15 yards-ish) I will say it is easier to hit off the tee than my 3-wood. I get some of my best shots teeing it low, but I also get some of my worst. If I tee it about a full inch off the ground I get very consistent shots. Super repeatable. Amazingly repeatable even with my messy swing. Off the tee, I find it draw biased just a bit. You can tinker with the set up if that isn't your personal cup of tea.  As a 3-wood replacement. For me it's about perfect. It's longer than my 3-wood off the deck (my data showed 10 yards longer) and it has a gentle fade to it, which I love. You do need a clean lie, but I never hit my 3-wood off anything but a clean lie anyway. I found it interesting that I hit a gentle fade off the deck and a slight draw off a tee. I'm sure that's not uncommon. Again, you can tinker with the set up to optimize that if you wanted to... I don't want to.  It's clearly a lot longer than my 3-wood off the tee. Easier to hit off the tee than my 3 wood, and off the deck it's also longer. So, it's a no-brainer 3-wood replacement for me. I will say that over the years I've learned to use my 3-wood for this low-flying-100-yard-punch-out-from-under-a-tree shot.  I'll have to see if the Secret Weapon can handle that duty. But it's going in the bag to replace the 3-wood.  I also turned my 5-wood down from 19 degrees to 17 degrees. ... Incidentally my 3-wood had been 16 degrees. I used to always hit my 5 wood and my hybrid about the same distance. This adjustment helps my gapping a bit at the top of the bag. I can clearly hit my 5-wood farther than my hybrid now.  Overall on the PXG Secret Weapon. The good: It's clearly longer and easier to hit off the tee than my 3-wood. It's a bit longer off the deck than my 3-wood.  It's super forgiving... surprisingly so.  It's uber adjustable. ... Although I do suggest getting fit for it. That will save you having to (or wanting to) buy a weight kit just to try out the infinite number of set ups. The headcover is super cool.  The maybe not so good: Shots out of the middle sound great. Shots off the heal sound great. Shots off the toe sound ... what's the work... clangy? It's very forgiving off the toe and the heal. The flight and the distance are incredibly consistent. But the sound off the toe isn't great.  For me I tend to draw it off the tee and fade it off the deck. You can set it up to be biased either way, but in my hands I think if I set up a draw off the deck, that might induce a duck hook off the tee. ... In fairness that could also be where my swing is at right now.  It's pretty spendy. ... If I really stop and think about it, I paid $450 for a new 3-wood. Granted it's a better performing 3-wood. But for me it's really a 3-wood replacement.
