I would like to be in the single digits handicap this year. I am a 13 right now so I have some work to do. If I can get my short game back to where it was a couple of years ago I think I can do it.

By the way, Tar Dawg, golf digest offers a handicap service that you can track stats on, fairways ,gir and putts. Its free just go to there website.

My goal this summer is to be the points leader of the Golf Channel Amateur Tour - Orlando and place in the 10 ten of the National Championships. I won my first event and am 9th in the points after one event. I also want to be competitive in the Florida State Amateur, Mid-Am, Match Play and Public Links.

At my level it's all about turning a 76 into a 72, and turning a 72 into a 68. To accomplish these goals, I have implemented a practice schedule that has me concentrating 75% of my practice time on the wedges, short game and putting and the rest of the time on the full swing. After all, 75% of my strokes are played from 150 yards or less. I am also developing a better pre-shot routine and strengthening my mental game. To play like a pro, you have to think like a pro!

Knock 3 strokes off my game. I was able to do it last year and hopefully I can do it again this year.

Specifically, I need to improve my iron game. If I can just make my misses a little more manageable, I think I can reach my goal.

Good luck everyone.

In addition to what I've posted before, my goal is to regularly hit 300 yard drives by this summer. I right now hit about 270 when I catch it good, and I'm working out at the gym five times a week (to get in shape as well...)

As I have only just returned to golf, my aim is to get back to the levels I was at when i was 16 (played off 8), I am now 33 and have not hit a ball in between then and now. I have been back playing for about a month and the only thing that seems to be lacking in my game is consistancy and a little bit of confidence. Hopefully that should all come back with time.

So the aim is single figures by the years end.

Where I live we get 12 months of perfect weather for golf so there is no need to have a six month break like some of the lads in the Northern US states.

Bring on the challenge.

My other aim is to get my wife her first handicap and maybe play a few mixed comps with her. She only picked up her clubs for the first time a month ago and seems to be loving it and playing quite well. I can see great things for her as she has a very natural swing.

Good luck with all those goals people, and if you want to play more golf at a lot cheaper price visit Australia!! We love visitors and if you play well we'll probably buy you a beer!

Cheers guys, swing happy

GOAL 1) COMPLETE SHORT GAME OVERHAUL - This actually started at the end of last season and has been a work in progress over the winter. I ran across an older DVD "Digital Golf" by Simon Holmes. I really like his chipping method and so far I've seen a significant improvement. As for putting, I've always been a streaky putter, but my most consistant weakness has been lag putting. So I'll be working hard to get that under control.

GOAL 2) BREAK 70 - It's been a while since I've done this with family and job commitments taking up most of my time in the past 8 years. Now with the kids a little older I have more time to focus and work on my game. I'm signed onto The Golf Digest Challenge. It seems to be a good program to help focus on what needs improvement. My current Long Game Handicap is -1, but my Short Game Handicap is a bloated +17, which explains the need for the short game overhaul!

Accomplishing Goal 1 will bring GOAL 2 within reach!

At the beginning of the year my handicap was a 24 and I wanted to drop it to at least an 18 or so. Well in about a month I'm already a 19.5, so I think I need to amend that. I'd say as of right now, my goals for the season are to be mid 80's on good days at my home course (69.9, 120). I'd like to break 40 for 9 at least a few times, and overall improve my sand play. It's really the only aspect of my game that is TOTALLY horrible.

Home Course:
Town of Colonie (69.7-70.1, 119-125)

My goals for 2007 are:
  1. Play at least two rounds per week
  2. Practice at least twice a week
  3. Improve my driving
  4. Play bogey golf consistently
If I do the first three I know the fourth will fall into place.

      The Stack Wedge System

      By iacas ·

      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.

      PXG Secret Weapon — Mini Driver

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      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.
