I'm back in gym,new coach,goal is scratch!

Same with back in the gym, I'm aiming to get to single figures playing once a month. Ha!

[Jazz18]

No three putts, no doubles or worse and no 6's on the card. Should be interesting with the lack of practice I get!

[simmsy]

To suck at golf less.

[Dotty]

To beat Peppas for the NSW Champs NAGA again.

[Ferrins]

Get back to low single figures then lapse golf club membership but still play regular social golf. Play in OZgolf champs off 25 cap and win then vanish.😎

[coalesce]

Try not to give a stuff about how well I play and just enjoy having the opportunity to play

[Jarro]

To play more 😕

[PeteyD]

To enjoy golf when I do play.

[Captain Nemo]

Get back to low single figures then lapse golf club membership but still play regular social golf. Play in OZgolf champs off 25 cap and win then vanish.😎Just a rehash of the past few years for you then?

[Ferrins]

You're not the first guy to ride me Lawrence.

[Captain Nemo]

If I get to the Vic champs I'll have another go!

8 mate,not a lot of Comp this year,but doing a lot of practice,coach,gym,stretching..I've just walked out of Chiro,he's wrapped in how I'm going.Im so determined to make scratch.Coach said that's a given if I do the work,so guess what???

Cheers for your nice words to mate.

You hit it nice to mate,it was good day until my back went,I did it good to mate that day,had to go home that night to sort it out,but I'm on the mend Ash!

[Moe Norman]

Play once a month (realistic goal)

Don't shoot over 90

Get HCP to 5 or lower.

Improve short game (chipping)

[Slothman]

Well...mine have changed. I got down to 7.1 last week, my lowest ever handicap. Hit my lowest score with 78.

I am expecting my first kid...well today is the due date actually....so anytime real soon.

My goal was to get as low as I could before that happened. Although my other half as said "you can play golf each week" I think I will be playing that by ear, as to be honest, I just want to try to be the best Dad I can be and maybe get the kid to 5 years old before I emotionally scar them for life.

So my golf goals for this year.....

1) Set up practice area in shed.
2) Keep handicap below 10.
3) Play 30 rounds in the year (pretty sure I got my 50 in this year).
4) Be more optimistic on the course. With less practice and game time, I can't expect to play like I have been.
5) Break par for 9 holes....unrealistic but got to have something to shoot for I suppose.

In the end...most of that will not happen as the "Be there for the boy and wife as much as I can" will take precedence over everything I reckon ;)

[Hard_Pan]

Well, I managed to play the worst round I've ever played and the best round I've ever played back to back this year (check my sig if you don't believe me!), so I'm hoping for a bit more consistency in the new year.

I think my main problem with my game is just that.. I think too much.. so I'm hoping for less thinking in the new year too. ;)

Oh, and Congrats slothman! :)

[Richo1]

No double bogies!

[backintheswing]

Hit 13 greens a round

[3Puttpete]

Hit 13 greens a round

Are these greens in reg or greens whenever?

Because, you know, there's the odd stableford round...

[Courty]

It's not the 13 that concerns me, it's what happens on the other 5 holes. :lol:

[gumby]

Build up my swing speed to a point so i can cave in my sldr and hope that taylormade gives a free r15 or m1 replacement :D

[AlexMc]

Get back under 10 and stay there.

[Johnny Canuck]

Stay on 4, get the cap down to make the pennant squad, dominate, get back to 4, beat Hoges when he comes over, win a ton of stuff.

[3oneday]

Drink more beer

[Hatchman]

Blow out to double figures.

[Dotty]

Be more accommodating to aggressive new members on golf forums.

[WBennett]

Stay off singles, and win a comp again. Last comp win (or even place!) was January Monthly Medal last year, but yet my handicap is lower now :shock:

[Peppas]

Get off my anchor

[Hatchman]

Be more accommodating to aggressive new members on golf forums.

Why would you let new aggressive members stay at your place?
Your too nice Dotty [emoji3]

[AndyP]

Once again, I won't set any scoring goals, because there is no point setting goals if you don't work towards them.

I'd like to get to the Qld OZgolf Champs for the 12th straight year, although it may not be easy during junior footy season.
If I qualified for the club matchplay finals again, it would be nice too.

It's only a goal.

Like transferring those plants that have outgrown their pots, cutting out takeaway and Jaryd Hayne making it in NFL.

[BenM]

I didn't post my 2015 goals but I wanted to get back to single figures and I did that, which is nice, and set a new PB in the process.

I guess for 2016 I want to reduce the cap a bit more and be more consistent.

[Dcanto]

To actually play at least once a month.

[markTHEblake]

Make the Gold Coast senior rep team.

[markTHEblake]

[3oneday]

I'd like togetitast orbe a completee wanker

[Sydney Hacker]

Make the Gold Coast senior rep team. Is posting this twice the start of your seniors moments?

[davidw88]

Try to get to scratch. Am down to 3 at the moment so not to far off. Also like to shot under par on the home course, shot even a few times and under par on both the nines but never together.

[BUSHY]

My goal is to set no goals.

[goughy]

To actually play! Anything else is a bonus.

[oldracer]

^^^^^^^^^^

[TheNuclearOne]

Buy loads, sell loads and enjoy golf and it's equipment :D

[davepuppies]

To play more than 2-3 rounds..... Might stretch myself to 4 or 5!

Might even join a club at financial year.

[chappy1970]

Going to try and play twice a month, would also like to go back to 6 day playing status at Southern in July

[Coldtopper]

3 goals in order.
Play golf with a working girl
No fighting and no bare feet
Get me some sushi and fresh Buchi grinds

[LarryLong]

Thought I'd dig up the time capsule:


Same elusive goals as every other year - play more, and go for the whole year without raising the bat.

Epic fail. Oh well.

[coalesce]

Fail in first half of year leading to long period without playing at all, success since November

I went to the Qld OZgolf Champs, but didn't play in the club championship rounds to qualify for the club matchplay.

2016: Don't get worse (the redux)


I did well for the first part of the year, dropping to 5 at the lowest. Post trip O/S though, I have struggled a bit with the same old swing flaws. I should probably get a lesson some day. :roll:

[Dotty]

To beat Peppas for the NSW Champs NAGA again.
Achieved*

* = failed to take into account our favourite bus salesman was playing most of his 2016 games at the NSW Champs.

[Hatchman]

Blow out to double figures.

Fail for 2016

I was on my way at one stage carding the odd double figure flag round before bumping that with another single one teasing me that I might be able to play ok again.
