I've never in my life seriously played before and I'm 46 years old. Here are my goals for this year.. 1) Get fitted for new clubs (I'm rocking ancient hand me down clubs) 2) Take lessons

My biggest goal for 2018 is to compete in one our local golf association events (Erie District Golf Association) - each year I debate entering and have yet to do so. I'm quite certain I won't win, but

#1 - learn to control my emotions - i.e. stop getting mad when I make a bad shot or have a bad hole.  I'm not good enough to get mad about this.

#2 - Get my handicap down to around 15-17.  I dropped it from 36.4 to 29.1 between June and November last year.  Kept playing all winter up here where we can't record scores Dec-Feb, but if I had I would be at a 22.3 right now (killing it in handicapped tournaments!).

#3 - Break 90 fairly consistently by the end of the season. (I have only done this once this year).

Update on my progress- 

#1 - Getting much better at this.  I'm not quite where I want to be yet, but I have made solid progress in controlling negative emotions on the course.

#2 - Currently at 18.4, trending to 18.0.  I have about 5 weeks left in the handicap season, so I may be able to get into the 17's before the season closes.

#3 - Not quite there yet.  I broke 90 for the first time about two weeks ago, and have now had a string of scores around 90-93.  I joined a private club last month, so I'm now playing a course with a much higher (+10) slope rating than when I set this goal, but I'm confident that I can get there.  The only thing preventing it right now are the couple of blow up (triples and quads) that seem to creep into many of my rounds.  Yesterday I shot a 93 that included two quads...

It was to bring the handicap below 20. Started and finished at 23...

But feel I am way more consistent this year. 

Need a little more length

Any chance on starting the recap thread now since some states/provinces have now ended their HI season? Would love to post while fresh on my mind.

      My Swing (TN94z)

      Not really, no. I don't know the history, what you've worked on, what you've tried and moved away from… etc.

      Favorite TV Show(s)

      Definitely not a favorite… For some reason my wife and I started watching Cobra Kai. I know the original was pretty cheesy, but the inability of these people to get over shit that happened like 30 years ago is astounding. And these kids would be arrested, but they don’t even seem to get suspended from school. Would Danny not notice that Johnny’s son looks like Johnny? Etc.? Why would a completely different dojo that has the same name be “banned”? Oy. Not sure we’ll make it to season 2.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 139 - 2025-02-16 Weather led to a rescheduled GEARS lesson, so I used the time to work on my swing for 60 minutes or so. All downswing stuff. Some swings at 93 MPH. Most around 75-80.

      My Swing (TN94z)

      By TN94z ·

      A question I have is…this swing (fade, pull cut) does not  feel as good and easily repeatable as the draw swing we were working on previously.  I’m kinda in a weird spot where I do not know which direction will be the best to pursue. I like seeing a penetrating 5 yard draw but also like the thought of the fade not getting away from me as much.    Any thoughts on that?
