Spring is around the corner, what are your golf goals for the rest of the year?

Stay a single digit handicap. Currently 9.
Play good on my trip to Bandon. Brag.
Play during the week more.
Gain some yardage back throughout the year.

Try to figure out my hook.

That’s it.

To get back healthy. Having knee surgery tomorrow so I’m hoping just to get back on the course soon.
I was coming off a Member Guest 1st place finish at GCOH and playing some of the best golf of my life recently. Looking forward to bouncing back even stronger!

I want to shoot a round under par this year.

My last round out was a 74 on a cold and windy Oak Harbor track, so I think I am close.

The only real hole in my game is bunker play and I spend my rounds avoiding them at all costs. Ex: Laying up on reachable par 5’s and even longer par 3’s to avoid them.

I also need to make the occasional putt outside of 5 feet. I don’t 3 putt, but I also don’t make nearly enough putts.

My rounds are incredibly boring lately. Just a bunch of 2 putt pars and relatively easy up and down pars. My course management has improved tremendously, but I need to dial some aggression back into my game to truly go low.

Get new irons finally

Break 90 at a few of the courses I play that I have yet to do so at

I need to get my putting much better. In my last 20 rounds, I am averaging 36 putts a round. I started off hitting 4 straight green's last week and somehow was 6 over for those holes. My putting is trash. That is some serious low hanging fruit.

I would love to break 80 and get my handicap down from 17 to 12. I think I can get 3 strokes from putting alone. I am hoping course management and short game will get me down on the other 2.

Walk more

I have such a better time playing when I walk. I say it in a lot of threads, but I think it would make people enjoy a crowded course more. You likely won't play faster, but instead of driving quickly to your ball in the fairway only to wait for the green to clear, the round will flow smoother because you are likely hitting by the time you get to your ball.

A few things actually..

1. Figure out why a tee shot with anything longer than a 5i is absurdly inconsistent and get fitted for a driver.

2. Lose weight and get a bit more in golf shape with focused weight training.. figured if I can hit my goal of dropping 50lbs couples with strengthening my core, legs and other golf muscles I can get back some stability and club head speed.. Right now typical 7i club head speed is 86-87 mph.. would like to find 3 or more extra along with a bit more stability through the turf when hitting..

3. Hoping if I can accomplish 1&2 that I can get a even par round at least at my home course

Actually use my lower body in the golf swing.
