The title says it all. What are your goals for 2022? It can be personal or golf related.

1) Drop 30lbs-This will fix a lot of my swing problems
2) Walk more than I ride
3) Get down below a 5 handicap and stay there- I'm at 6.6.
4) Don't throw or slam a club.

No goals for this year, got bigger issues than golf related ones! I will be happy to just play more than 10 times this year after March

I'm currently a 10.4. I'd like to get into single digits for the first time ever. I also have a newborn to bring my total to 3, so staying below a 12 would probably be a more attainable goal. Last year, my goal was to play at least 30 times. This year I'd be happy with 20.

2023 is the year I make the PGA Tour, though.

Fix my fricking driver. That's it.

I'm content with most everything else

- Average more birdies per round than double bogeys. Currently, both are at 1.3 per round.

- Better my par 3 scoring. Currently make par or better on par 3s at a 49.6% clip. I want to get that up so that it's approaching 60%.

- Increase my GIRs across all holes, but particularly those par 3s. Currently only hitting 29.3% of par 3s (36.1% on all holes).

- Increase my scrambling percentage from 41% to 50%.

- I feel like I'm a pretty good putter. I just need to get the ball closer to the hole to take advantage of that.

1) get below a 1.0 (currently 2.0)
2) play the tips more
3) more consistent chips and pitches
4) sell the stuff that’s collecting dust

Try to play more
Take my time more and not rush; I play fast
Never play from the back tees again
Practice more

More than 20 rounds without a double or worse
Less than 10 rounds without a birdie

If I do those everything else should take care of itself

I think you can do 1 out of 4. Maybe 2 out of 4 if you get those irons.

2022 Goal is the same as it is every year so far: break 80.

Knocked on the door many times but haven't kicked it down yet.

Once I do that (and make no mistake, I will do it eventually):

1) Get my HC down to 6 or 7 range (currently a 10)
2) Get better with hole proximity from 50-100 yards
3) More consistent with driver
4) Rarely ever 3-putt

Driver, Wedges, and Putter are my biggest focus this year. If I can get those more consistent, I will start meeting my goals.

Longer term goal-get better control over my start line on full swings. Knowing that if I can consistently start the ball on a certain line, I can cut down on factors of why I hit bad shots.

1. Break par, current best is a 73 (+1)
2. Play more rounds with my son than without (he’s 3 so accomplishing goal 1 will be hard if I accomplish goal 2 )

I just want to play more golf. I think I logged 10 rounds or so in my GHIN in 2021. Need to pump those numbers up

My son is 6 weeks. I cannot wait until he's that age and I can start grooming him to become a golf fiend. I imagine it will be tougher to concentrate, but it will be easier to get on the course when I'm offering to take a kid with me.

1) get some consistency back in my game
2) enjoy every round more (some days that may mean an extra drink)
3) hopefully get 1 round with my dad

It’s great man I love it. I will say chasing a toddler around a golf course isn’t exactly relaxing though

My guy loves it, wants to hit ball after ball and insists on putting the ball until it’s in the hole for “birdie” every time.

The good news is that you always have an excuse when you hit a bad shot, your kid distracted you!
