What Are Your 2013 Golf Goals? Official Thread

[GregZ]

My goal this year is to continue researching the golf swing to find consistency.  Ill have an awesome round one day followed by not breaking 110 for the next month.

[Gatsby]

Just joined the forum so first time poster here.

In 2012 I lowered my handicap from a 26 to a 19 and broke 90 three times (87 each time).  My goals for 2013 are:

1. Get handicap below 15

2. Break 90 more frequently

3. Make an eagle

4. Make multiple birdies in a single round (never had more than 1 in a round)

5. Play Bethpage Black (I live in NYC and have played all bethpage courses except black)

[twisted5ltr]

So my goal is to:

--first practice (not play) everyday, get up everyday at 5am go to the garage and hit balls into

the optishot or the net until 7--8 oclock, got to the course or work depending on day.

--drop 25 lbs (body wieght obvioulsy), using treadmill and hour or more a day

--maybe a couple lessons with a pro to straighten out my driver--horrible slice.

--drop score to mid to low 70's by December 2013

--Tournament play after January 2014?? hopefully

thats it, sounds easy, or easy to say but itll be a ton of work, but fun as hell and truly rewarding

My year end goal for 2013 is to be playing bogey golf or better.

Along the way I expect to achieve certain (obvious) milestones:

1. consistently shoot in the 90's

2. Break 90

3. Play a round without losing a ball

4. Improve fairways hit

5. Improve GIR's

I would also like to participate in a tournament or two, but that is less important.

I would like to Break 80 often enough to improve to a single digit handicap. For some reason, I think that is easier than getting healthier and more flexible.

[jefkve]

-Establish my handicap

-Break 100

-Play 1 tournament

*May have to revise if I break 100 too early in the year (I HOPE!)

[killo]

Raise fairway % - current 42.9%

Raise GIR % - current 36.2%

Reduce avg. putts - current 1.89

Reduce scoring avg - current 85.9

Stats are from when I got my Skycaddie. 31 rounds since 8/31.

[Pablo68]

Become a better student of the swing and truly understand it.

Relax and enjoy each round I get to play.

Break 80 consistently then reward myself with a set of Mizuno MP-59s.

[WWBDD]

Play about 30 rounds, drink some beer, have some laughs and break 90 a few times.

Next march will mark my anniversary for picking up a club. I have two goals for the next year The first is to find a club around my house to join. I really think I'd enjoy getting to know people and playing golf with more than the 3 other people that I Play with now. The biggest goal I have for next year is to play an entire round with one sleeve of balls. It really wouldn't seem so bad paying so much for balls if I didn't lose so many.

[turtleback]

Improve my wedge game to the point of eliminating those situations where it takes 4 (or more - blech) to get down from 100 yards and in.

[JaxGolfer1]

My goal for 2013 would be to get out and practice more. I've had back problems and hope the new off season exercises will allow for it.

[MacDutch]

Break 80, score my first eagle and drop my hcp more then 2 points are the goals. But wouldn't mind getting below 10.0:-)

[Bucki1968]

I just want to become more consistent. I"m sick of playing great for a month and then sucking for a month. I need to hit the driver better this year. Of course if I hit the driver better, then my short game will suck....it's always something.

[boogielicious]

My game objective is to improve my consistency off the tee to hit more fairways and thereby hit more greens in regulation.

1. My fairways hit was ~40% and GIR 27%.  Objective is >50% and 40%.
2. My short game improved to 31.7 putts per round down from 36 with putts per GIR at 2.0 and putts per missed GIR at 1.7.  Objective <2.0 for GIR.
3. To improve my consistency, I will build on my work with the driver and woods to improve accuracy.

My physical objective is to increase flexibility in my shoulders for a longer takeaway and better finish position at A10.  This is a limiter for me right now at A10.
