I take an earlier post back, my other goal is to hit more fairways. Much of my problems over the last couple of years have been off the tee. Some equipment modifications and minor swing adjustments made last fall has given me reason to hope.

I will play more golf this year!! Last year I had a kidney transplant in May and I couldn't golf until late June. Of course I couldn't swing very hard so I spent a lot of time to improve my putting. So this year I want to improve further on putting, become more consistent with my low-mid irons and just be patient and learn to feel more. Golf is truly a great game and the course is a great place to relax!!

Single digit index, if only for one posting. I'm at 14.4 now with 34.1 putts per round. I know I can do better on the greens.

Uhm, guys... If I met my goal for 2008 today... do I set a new goal, or just cruise out the year?

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO! I shot a 98!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

46 front, 52 back (with 3 beers on the back )

I guess I have to repeat if a few times for it to be 'true'

I am going to spend more time practicing. My handicap went up last year from 7.2 to 8.0 and I played alot of golf, but did not practice. I have already shot a 74 and 75 this year so I am optimistic. Hopefully it will stop raining and warm up soon.

I retired last October so I will have plenty of time to work on my game.

I'm going to practice as much as I can, especially my short game and accuracy with my irons, and my goal is to get my handicap in single digits.

I want to see how far I can take my golf game. Last time I played seriously; 10 or 12 years ago; I was a low single digit handicap. Back then I hated practicing my short game; so now I want to see how far I can take it... get my pro card if possible. I'll never do it for a living, just want to push my game.

1. Reduce three putts. I have at least 5 3 putts every round.
2. Straighten out my driver. I snap hook it so hard sometimes that I swear I should quit.
3. Get better with my 3 iron. I used to love it, but now its an enemy.
4. Get shots from 0-140 yards out within 20 feet consistently.
5. Break into the 70's every time.

My goals are to move the ball forward once on every swing with my irons. And to get tripple diget yardeges with everything with more loft than my putter.

Consistency.

Plain and simple. That's what separates tour players from amateurs.

    • Is there a rule against these guys using their phones during rounds? There's no way I could just stand around waiting during these interminably long rounds when I could be watching earwax removal, cyst popping, or ingrown toenail removal videos like I usually do
    • Sorry, I meant Erik. I type faster than I think. 🤷‍♂️
    • I've never had my entire bag walk off before. One time (about 15 years ago) somebody did nick my range finder off my bag. I had a Bushnell Range Finder in the hanging clip-on hard-case thing on my bag. Then at the turn somebody snatched the rangefinder off my golf bag, left that hardcase behind. It happened while me and my group were inside getting hot-dogs and such. I've heard it has happened to others as well. Since then I kept my rangefinder in my golf bag's pouch for it rather than dangling on the bag in the hard case. 
    • I disagree on this. Speed training is just moving something fast, it doesn't usually require much loading. This is why when you train for body building or upping your PB's on amount you can lift it doesn't translate to speed. Actuality they can interfere with the adaptation of one another.  Yes, generally weightlifting will improve grip strength. In a lot of cases grip strength is a limiting factor on your PB's on increasing weight. If your hands give out at 300-lb deadlift, but your hamstrings are good for 400-lbs you will never PB. That is why most people use grips when lifting, to eliminate the grip strength issue.  That doesn't necessarily translate to clubhead speed.  There are plenty of golfers, who have never touched a weight, can swing fast. I think grip strength correlates because when they test PGA tour players, they have been hitting golf balls for decades. It's something that gets developed over hours and hours of practice. When the grip strength trend was going on twitter/youtube last year or what not, they tested the grip strength of MMA fighters, many can't crack 120 lbs. They work out way more than me, I crack 125 lbs+ with my off hand. My dominant hand is 165 lbs.  You have high schoolers with 120 mph club head speed, who probably don't have that high grip strength yet.
