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.

[dohn javid]

Try to eliminate the left side... Working on the cut.

[ThisIsWhyImHot]

Goals for 08

get my handicap on the plus side
get my putts per round at 30 or better
be better with distance control on irons

[Ben]

Play in at least one mini tour event per month. Playing in three in January, so I'm off to a good start.
Win a mini tour event(s).
Make it past preliminary US Open Qualifying.
Play in two Japanese Tour events.

Long shot goal:

Play in the LA Open.

[Titan124]

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)

[ColinMB]

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.

[ks8829]

My goals for 08

1) Play consistant golf
2) Improve my short game so that I can get up and down 70% of the time.
3) Get into better physical shape for golf.
4) Shoot under par golf before the end of the year.
5) Practice my short game, pitching, chipping and putting at least once a week.
6) Hit fairways & greens.
7) Concentrate throughout 18 holes of play.

[kurtwainwright]

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.

[simpleday]

Goal:

1) make a 2nd baby during my vacation in april
2) hopefully to have my game ard 110

[mjsab]

Find a consistent swing and get down to a single figure handicap!

[King Norre]

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 !
