1. Rework my technique/swing. 2. Drive 50% FIR by May, then 80% by year end. (driving is a huge letdown at the moment) 3. Practice more often. 4. Make single digit handicap ( currently 14).

[Indetroit]

Currently a 8.6 Handicap - played 102 times in 2012. Lowest score 71 Highest score 91 1. Practice Short game - Scrambled currently 30% par or better - like to get to 50% 2. Drive 65% FIR - currently 52% 3. Hit 60% GIR - currently 47% 4. Lower Handicap to below 5 5. Break 70 for the first time!!

[JaxBomber17]

1. Get confident through the bag with my new, flatter swing.

2. End the year as a single-digit handicap.

3. Get a whole lot better about keeping up with my stats after each round so I know how to allocate my practice time.

4. Statistically speaking: 60% FIR, 65% GIR, under 1.9 putts per green for the year.

And, 5. Don't embarrass myself at the club open this year like I did last year, when I did my Tin Cup impression on the 17th hole.

Play more golf, improve my driving, improve my 3-wood, improve my hybrid play.  Whats really holding me back from scoring is my struggles with getting off the tee and hitting a good 2nd shot that gets me on the green or sets me up for a makeable wedge shot.

[Smitty]

1. Get an official HDCP 2. Play some tougher courses 3. Practice effectivley ( stole this from Bo The Golfer ) 4. Have fun

I'm brand new, my goals are

* consistently shoot under 95

* meet more players in the area

* Shoot a few eagles... all I've hit so far are a few birdies

[Yeri]

Hmm, 2012 goals were

a) Break 100

b) Break 90

I succeeded with the first, and almost the second (best round was 91).

So 2013 goals are

a) Break 90

b) Break 85

c) Break 80 (This is a bit of a stretch goal, I don't know if it's achievable, but I'm gonna try!)

[Bing]

I want to become a cat 2 player (12 handicap) by early summer and hopefully single figures by the end.

[bubble]

swing impouvement,

on the BS I need to have my left arm much more in line with my target and my wrist hinged upwards more correctly as of now it is bent towards my back (cupped i think you say).

If i can do that this year after 6 years of repetitive mistakes its a miracle.

[JerryTimes]

1. Break 100 more often. 2. Make better contact with my irons on the course. Some reason I make good contact at the range most of the time, not as much on the course. 3. Continue straightening my drives. I improved greatly last year (for me anyway) 4. Golf more!

So I paid the yearly membership fee yesterday at the local golf club. $480 = unlimited golf and use of facility (cart not included)

Here's the updated 2013 goals list:

1) Play at least twice a week

2) Practice effectively at least 3 times a week

3) Sharpen my game around/ on the green

4) Drop HC to a lower single digit

5) Play in State Amateur Tournament

[indyvai]

1. Break 80 2. Revamp putting stroke 3. Introduce new putter line to market

[Zeph]

I don't really know what goals to set. I hope I'll be able to play some golf, but I'm farther from a training facility than before, so it could result in less practice. If I can play well enough to stabilize at around 10-15 handicap, I'm happy.

[bplewis24]

In 2012 I achieved all of my goals except one, and so that is my #1 goal for this year:

1) Become a single-digit handicap.

2) 50% GIR for the year.

3) Shoot an even par round of golf OR the course rating, whichever is higher, in any given round.

If I accomplish any of these (or am on pace to do so, for #2) by mid year, I will throw in another:

4) Get up-and-down 50% of the time

Alright this will be the 3rd time I've revised this. I think this is the final revision.

1) Play 18 holes at least twice a week

2) Practice effectively at least 3 times a week

3) Sharpen all aspects of game from tee to green

4) Become more consistent

5) Drop HC to lower single digit

[TidePride50]

Shoot in the 80s. Putt better. They both go hand in hand.
