So I can torpedo this thread late in the year and praise/mock you.  8)


Clive: my short game, specifically my putting, chipping, and pitching (in that order).

My hoing. I'm going to quit messing around with my bag so much* and focus on getting better by playing the clubs I have.

*Still need wedges.

My GIRs are terrible.  I should be able to improve that.

Avg. GIRs/Round: 2.82

Between GIR's and putting. I'd like to get to double digits for GIR's and avg. 30 putts per round.

Last year 34 putts and ~7 GIR.

My handicap.  Currently a 15 index.  I'm going to try to get to a 12.

I still have a problem slicing the ball with my driver so I'm going to work on that.  I've read many articles on how to cure the slice, but have never taken a golf lesson from a pro.  That may be in order.

My short game with my irons is pretty good right now.  My putting is ok, but I'll continue to practice putting as there is still room for improvement.

Ups and downs. Too many two puts after chipping within 5 ft. I could, probably, drop 2 to 3 strokes per round.

I'm gonna play more.  This year sukked for a lot of reasons, and golf took a big back seat.  I went to the range several times, and hit "some twilight" by my self, and played a few holes "for fun".

Next year, I will actually play more true rounds, and play a lot.


My Game:  I just need consistency.  And I think that will come with playing more.  No 3 week layoffs, without even touching a club.

More golf for me too.  Then the rest will fall in to place.

Got to be to play more golf -- after playing only 3-4 times last year I've got to get out this year.  Once there, I have two goals more fairways and more GIR.

More golf.  Less work.

I made the commitment to my golf instructor that I would cut down the ho'ing and spend the money on lessons.

I would like to but don't know if I'll be able to ... get out and golf more.

Driving accuracy.

If it helps, I wouldn't push Aske out of the way if I saw you coming.

I'd probably gouge my eyes out.

Same as JD, driver accuracy really hurt me this year or I believe the rest of my game was good enough to get to single digits.

Hmm...

I hope to improve by not doing something stupid early in the year that will subsequently mess up my swing.  That will improve my game a lot.

Also, I would like to get out golfing more.

Along with those two, I would like to improve my distance.  We shall see how my new clubs help with that.  Tried 'em out at the dome a little over a week ago, felt great and did add a good amount of distance; so we shall see what lays ahead at the course.
