I can't help but to see everyone looking back at 2012 and seeing how their handicaps dropped and how many wins they had and how awesome the champs were , but being new to the game of golf and oz golf forums it made me wonder and think about some goals for my year.
I may have only been playing for a few months but I'm more than bitten by the bug , the only thing that has been holding me back is a lack of playing partners that enjoyed playing more than 9 holes or can go that long without 6 beers as I'm 21 so most of my mates see golf as a piss up hack and would struggle to play more than our local par 3 course, but as I now have my handicap ( a solid 34.4 haha) and played in my first comp im so excited for this year but trying not to get too unrealistic with my goals.
I know it may be a big step but I am hoping to get my cap down to 20 by the years end as I have shot 45 over both sets of 9 holes at my club a few times now I just can't get it together for a full 18 , usually end up with something like 45/59 or vice versa . But I've kitted up with decent clubs , got lessons under my belt and am looking forward to my next 18 as I haven't shot over 50 for 9 in awhile now but just once again a lack of mates to get out for 18 and my local comp this sat is a 2 man ambrose..
I would love to be able to have a few games with some of you guys in the bris/GC area , not sure if I would be a hinderence on your rounds as you'll be a full 20 shots faster than me around the track and would love to join you guys when you host champs and any other competitions..
I wanna see others goals / expectations for the year and also if anyone can relate to having a lack of mates to play with ..
Cheers
