re: What were your 2020 golf goals and how are you progressing?

There’s nothing wrong with having lofty goals. I’m mature enough to understand that my large goal is going to take time and lots of work. And I’m 100% ok with that. Golf is hard, but it’s not impossible to become a significantly better player with work. I’ve got a buddy from high school who just picked up golf 2 yrs ago and just broke 70 about 2 weeks ago. He doesn’t have the prettiest, most efficient swing and he doesn’t hit it overly far but he makes smart decisions on the course and is a damn good putter. So my thinking is, if he can do it then surely I can with lots of work and a couple lessons.

Every time I play I try my hardest to play shot to shot. But I often find myself trying to play a shot that I don’t have in my bag consistently. I may have hit that 3 wood from 220 to 15 ft that one time, but that doesn’t mean I can do that consistently at all and I often find myself trying to do that.

A couple of days ago I shot a 91. One of the best scores I’ve ever recorded in my life. The big difference maker for me was my chipping and putting. I didn’t have a single 3 putt on the round. However, I found myself losing one off the tee and then playing par after I dropped (par would’ve been my score on the hole had I not hit my tee shot OB) or I would hit a great tee shot and then lose my second shot somewhere. But there’s been some sort of improvement every round. Just got to bring it all together and play smart.
