2014: What are your golf related goals?

[mrbluu]

Gents,

I am going to let my golf go this year. Probably let my handicap blow out to 6 or 7 or whatever the anchor is this month, not practice much and do something else. I will still play on Saturday's and the odd mid week game, but no more practice other than the odd night at Narrabeen, if it is still there.

The simple logic is that if i dont play as good as i do now... they will just give me more strokes to compensate.

There really is not much advantage in playing off 0-2.

this makes me sad

How is everyone going with this???

I'm off 3.9 so my golf coming along nicely.

I didn't post in this when first posted, and that probably reflects my progress.

Currently not a member anywhere, haven't played or practiced for a few weeks........

Going to join a club here on the beaches next couple of weeks

[dunteachin]

I just checked my goals as stated earlier - aim to get to 13. Played off 13 in my last comp game so goal achieved. Now I just have to stay there.

To play more than once a month.....?

[Courty]

- Keep all my flagged rounds in single figures

So far so good.

- Win another monthly medal (been a long time between drinks)

No luck yet... running out of time as I'll miss the next couple of MMs. History would show most of my previous MMs have been at the end of the calendar year, so I'm not panicking just yet.

- Lose some kgs (again :roll)

It's a work in progress, but I'm headed the right way.

I set no goals , so I don't expect too much, 9.1 in early January -- 4.5 now
The little chats with my wife ( psychologist) are starting to pay off

[Waddzy]

9.4 or lower.. after stumbling down to 13 last year im creeping back up and could go back to 14 very shortly the way im playing..
More range time ( 3 times a fortnight minimum ) and play every saturday.

Oh yeah and break that damn 30 point barrier down at Vic champs

Well I am off 8.0 now so first ones a check.. I have been to the range a total of twice for the year so no, but that was more elaborating on how I wanted to get to 9.4 or lower.

I shot 30 points on the Saturday and 33 or something on the Sunday at Vic champs so I can say I managed to break 30.. just not average 30 points.

I do feel the handicap slipping away again shortly but unless I commit to my 2nd goal soon.

Same thing applied to me, around 4years ago I was off 12-13 I and I couldn't play to that. Once I got my head clear and was determined to enjoy my time on the course I my handicap started to slowly drop.

Well down Waddzy, great work getting to 8!!!

[Tiezto]

Get from 8.5 to under 6 this year

[coalesce]

I'm a bit late to this but my goals for 2014 are:

Join a course
Get a handicap
Get it down to the same as my UK handicap was when I left (18.6)

[oldracer]

first goal was to get a hcp, tick 27.3 so not happy with that. I need to eliminate those half a dozen dumb shots that lead to 10-15 lost shots. more fairways, more greens, get out of bunkers first go and not 4th try, get under 20 by christmas

[yoyo]

Yeah mine is pretty much the same, but get the h'cap down to 12Or so.I have a strategy to improve my chances of this - do not submit any cards from Brookwater ! ;-P

[Waggle]

To be off 2 by end of summer. Currently the handicap is sitting at 5.2 after blowing from 3.5 to 5.6 thanks to not playing much and swinging it terribly. Looking to get stuck into a heap of practice as the days start to get longer and I really think playing off 2 by years end is entirely doable.

[Talart]

Goal is to get to a single figure playing handicap still on 9.8 after starting the season on 13 in January. Then to have a crack at reaching 3 or less (eventually).

[GolfTourettes]

A grade pennants next season

[990B Luva]

Hook is still around as a miss, but it's something I've got down to mild draw.

Currently off 8.1, but playing much better golf now.

Got a Legacy Black 3 wood, works brilliantly.

[Charger]

My goal is to have fun and not let the hc blow out too much. 9.1 currently, out a stroke.

I did shoot a career best 73 a few months back. That wasa great day. All short game scrambling that day.

[oncewasagolfer]

Have already exceeded my hc goal now to get to 3 or less.

Done the first one and I have a golflink number. I need to complete 3 rounds for a handicap next...
