Jumping in here late, but my goal for 2007 was to set a new personal best score and hopefully break 80 for the first time in the process.

My personal best (set in '06) is an 81 and my 9-hole personal best entering '07 was 39. So far this year I've tied the 81 twice but have yet to beat it. I did set a new 9-hole best with a 37. I also shot what was probably my most consistent round of golf ever with 9 pars and 9 bogies.

I'm running out of time to find the elusive 70s this season

Driver: 9.5* Burner SuperFast, Matrix Ozik XCon 4.8 Stiff
Fairway Woods: Steelhead III, Uniflex Steel (3w, 5w)

My goals for Fall 07:
Continue to groove swing changes between now and Thanksgiving. This means taking some clubs on the road and finding new practice places in New Orleans and Denver.

My specific goal, to get to a range 3 times a week and groove groove groove. I want to get the 8i to 85% (13/15) correct trajectory and line before moving on to another club -2h--then PW, then Driver, then SW.

I want to be smarter at these practice sessions, warm up slowly and make the FIRST swing exactly what I am working toward, rather than whacking away until I figure out that I am trying to do something new.

putt better

score mid 90s before the year end

i think i can do these, because finally i have the right set of clubs and the right set of knowledge for my current level

Ok its been one year now and I've got down to a 9.4. This next year, I would like to get down to a 4. I know that's a tough goal, but I figure its better to aim high and see what happens. If I could learn to putt better I'd be there already. Shot a 74 last week with 34 putts.

Play an entire round with 1 ball (not loose it).


One was to break 90, which I've been very happy about doing with 2 scores of 85 this month.

I'm going to close this thread because, well, the year is just about over. If you're setting goals now, just wait for our official 2008 thread.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
