Would like to get to the point where I'm legitimately pissed off if I shoot more than 75 on an average course. That's really as good as I can see myself ever getting.

To post good scores, enjoy the company and the game.

If I have an ambition it would be to lower my handicap, which would happen anyway if I shot good scores. I've done the under par, hole in one, won decent amatuer comps, and I hope everyone has a bite of those pies.

My one other golfing ambition, which in reality this late in my golfing life is just a dream, would be to be club champion. I've had lowest gross plenty of times but not on the right day.

Well, I've decided to modify my goals slightly: Establish a handicap, again, and play a sanctioned event as a senior. That's if my back holds out...

In the Bag

Ping i15 8* Diamana Whiteboard

Titleist 909f3 13.5* Aldila NV

Ping S57 3-PW KBS C-taper

Macgregor 52, 56, and 60 wedges

SC Newport 2.5

Definitely to get to a single digit handicap. Need to find more time to play and practice for that to happen. Tough to improve otherwise. I'm going the other way at the moment :-(.

In my Sun Mountain 14 Way Stand Bag:

Driver - Ping G30 10.5* : Fairway - Ping G30 18* : Hybrids - Titleist 915H 21* & 915 H 24* : Irons - Mizuno JPX 850 Forged 5 - GW : Wedges, Vokey 54.14, Vokey 58.12 : Putter - Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 or Ping Craz-E-R  : Ball - Bridgestone B330RX, Cart - Cliqgear 3.5

To have fun and try to make sure that I'm pleasant company for the people I play with.  I've already accomplished more than I ever expected in the game, so I'm just happy to be out on the course.

I just want to stay consistent. Keep the blow out rounds at bay, keep the handicap around the 6 mark. I reached a few personal goals this year. One was to get my handicap to 6, even got to 5 for a few weeks. Another was to have a sub par round during a competition round. I missed out on club champs this year due to a back injury, so I guess I would like to be more competitive around that time of year.

My first goal in golf is to shoot 69 on an average course.  My next goal will be to maintain a + handicap for more than a year.  My next goal will be to shoot 68 on a difficult course.  After that my goal will be to get just a little bit better.  Then my goal will be to not get sad when it all disappears and I'm a bedridden old man.

To enjoy the walk and company, and shoot in the 70's again ... but this time, with a technically sound swing and with consistency.

That would be nice.

    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
