1- Current HI on GG is 16.4, I would love to get down to 12ish.

I plan to do this by identifying where I lose the most shots with more consideration of GG stats as well as some spreadsheets I use, and working on that.

2016, my worst area was mid-approach shots for total shots lost, while my highest average lost was driver. Driver causes me a lot of penalties from OB. I would love for my average shots gained on driver to match my approach shots.

I hope to reduce that by more video work of what Im doing wrong by being more active in my swing thread.

2-This past winter was the first one in my golfing "career". I was surprised by how much catch up is involved in your first few weeks back in April/May. I plan to avoid this mess by doing mirror work and indoor golf dome more frequently than last year. (I went to the golf dome once last winter)

3-Stop over-thinking putts, I was actually better at putting when I first started because I didnt know enough to over-think things. I dont really intend to practise putting, but I want to approach them with a new routine I've been practising.

4-Listen to my body to avoid injury, lost 1.5 months of golf last year by pushing it at one point resulting in wrist bone/tendon problems.

 

1-GG HI got down to 14.3, wanted something in the 12s. Less penalties from driver and better putting gets me there. (more details will go into swing thread)

  • Currently when comparing to a 10.0 HI on GG...
    • Avg gain .67 strokes driving
    • Avg. gain .39 strokes approach
    • Avg lose 2.59 strokes short game
    • Avg lose 4.38 strokes putting

2-More winter practise helped, I felt I didnt waste the 1st few weeks back. I was doing mirror work and golf dome work with foot spray.

3-Overall, my putting still sucks.

4-I know some injuries can be random, but would say I didnt "push" it this year with more offdays, and I didnt get injured once.

Unintentional goal i consider an improvement.... Gained distance on my swing by about 2 clubs.

My goal was to break 80 for 2016 and 2017, and maybe even 2015. I finally did it this summer a month or so before my first kid was born. Since then, I've had some rounds as low as 81-82, and frankly left a few putts on the table. I've had a few terrible rounds too, but I got over the mental block, and now don't get so worn down about a bad round. I think my next best round is going to be a 77 or a 76. It's nice to have things looking up!

My goal this year was to reach single figures (e.g. 8.9) and hit some firsts along the way:

- break 80 again, and on some other courses

- hit some eagles

- 9 holes/18 holes at par

- 9/18 break par

The plan was to reroute my swing plane, maximise my distance and strengthen my chipping/scrambling game.

 

So not bad, got from 12 to 8.0

- broke 80 again bunch of times (7), twice on new courses.

- no eagles! Had about 6/7 opportunities from 20-30 feet but couldn't get one to drop.

 - 9 holes at par twice and broke par for 9 holes

 - not that close to breaking par overall (77 lowest) but played 13 holes in a round at par or better so making progress.

Swing plane I improved definitely in summer but have since slipped back a little. 

Really solid, enjoyable year.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
