1st and foremost... PLAY LOTS of GOLF - should be possible since moving south.

break or shoot par for 18... low so far is 77.

single digits... 10.5 now, want to hit 8 by next year.

resist urge to buy any new clubs... But, get an igolf (GPS)

help my wife improve consistency and get closer to keeping score on EVERY hole. She has only played a year and a half and she's getting close to consistently having scoreable holes (4-8ish).

nice straight left arm and good release.

keeping right side stable and making good turn.

My goals:
Make Varsity golf team (unlikely, it is sort of one of Jack Nicklaus's pet projects so the kids are amazing)

Make JV golf team (if I can't make varsity)

Play bogey golf over 9 holes (45 or less, already have a 47 and 46)

Shoot under 100 consistently

Shoot under 90

Improve short game (this is what I'll need to do to do most of my goals)

Hmm, some really good goals here.

Mine a bit more simple, but so is my background. I'll be entering my 3rd year golfing in an unfortunately frozen part of Canada in about... April.

For then I'd like to:

Get in shape - Get back to my weight lifting routine and continue running 4 times a week.
Set a reasonable scoring goal I've been through a crazy amount of lessons. I broke 90 at the end of the season with two 88's. I know it seems laughable, but that had me at a season low of 16 over par. I'd like to get to low 80's by end of season (80'ish).

Increase club head speed (please no more emails selling product) I've been in a lot of winter lessons re-working my path. Last year I had a very short driver distance (about 240ish).

I look forward to checking this out in about 6 months and seeing if I felll on my face or managed to take on the challenge.

My ONLY goal is to get out there and play whenever the opportunity arises. In '07, I would sometimes deny myself a round of golf because I didn't have a buddy to tag-along. Well not this year... I'll go by myself if I have to.

I started playing golf in may 2007, so there's so much to learn for me.
My goals for this year are:
- in the first place: always enjoy golf ... even when I'm having a bad day I'm going to try to be positive and learn from it
- practice more
- take lots of lessons
- get my handicap below 36
- play on a big course (18 holes) for the first time
- play some tournaments for beginners in the club
- I'm going to Scotland this year and I hope I have time to visit St.Andrews and have a look around.
- and most important: stay healthy !

    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
