What’s your current goal in golf?

[SupSup99]

Whether it’s to have fun or break 100! Let me know what you’re working on in the game!

[Kmagnuss]

Shoot par.  Just once.  I know it's in there, and this is the year.

[wolfsjetta12]

To break 90. I also would like to lower my handicap. 

[MattM97]

Break 80, single digit handicap, play more. 

[ericschlukebir]

More scores in the 70's than 80's.  actual path to that, is getting my driver straightened out.  

[amace04]

Break 75.   Got under 80 last season, and set up an indoor hitting area in my garage this winter, so I'm thinking it's doable.

[Lag_0820]

Qualify for state am is really the only thing I have on my mind this year.

[jomatty]

Get to scratch within 2 years.  Made it to a 3.  I’m 45 so improving past that is difficult, and if I am going to reach scratch 8 need to do it before I get much older.  I realize that scratch is a completely arbitrary goal but I find it motivating.  I am trying to practice a lot more, and I already play a lot.  Not sure it’s a realistic goal but the fun is in the journey.

[MelloYello]

Eliminate my weaknesses - analyze, practice, rehearse and perform. 

[jwhite86]

Shoot even... broke 80 last year

[rgk5]

To shoot my age (76)  this year.  Last year I missed by two as I shot 77 twice, two over 75.

[Shushwap]

Breaking 80 is in the cards this year 

[kwcsports]

Getting back to consistent high 70's scores. I've had a few injuries and haven't played as much the last 2 seasons. I want to play more, score better and enjoy it more. 

[Texasaggie2016]

Break par. Best round to date is 1-over but that was years ago before my daughter was born. Be hovering in the 6-8 over range for the last year trying to get back into regular practice and playing. 

[RoyalMustang]

Get more consistent. On the days I make 70% GIR I can't putt, and the days when I am sinking a ton of putts I am saving par and bogey. Also consistently miss within reason: no more skulled chips due to feeling rushed.   

 

I would love to break par (been at 73 on a very tough course) but that really is a result of being consistent in all facets of my game, not a goal to work toward. Consistency (upward, toward my ceiling, not consistently bad) will yield lower scores.

How to stop to play golf swing and just play golf 

[gioreeko]

Shoot even par. Got so close on my bday last year, 1 over with 2 holes left, and I doubled 17, a fairly easy par 3. Finished 3 over. My other goal was to win the Super senior division in long drive, but they got rid of that division, so at age 57, I'd have to compete against 45 y.o and up. Still might give it a shot, still hitting a few blasts 350 or so on the course without swinging out of my shoes or anything. 

[vandyfan]

Birdie every hole at my local muni in 2023. It encourages me to be a little more aggressive (I am a very conservative player by nature) and keeps me "in" bad rounds. So far I have birdied 9/18 holes in 7 tries. 

 

I found out that I don't mind (granted, it isn't ideal) scoring poorly but I *hate* when I have bad ball striking days (even if I manage to salvage a 75-77 through magical short game). So I have been practicing my full swing more and (naturally) it has helped my scoring a little bit but my enjoyment more because I am clanging less irons off the toe (for now).

Stress less on the course and have more fun.

Find the balance between grinding the whole time and playing hit and giggle. 

[jdailey03]

Biggest goal this year is to qualify for the US-Mid Am.  Other smaller goals is to win a handful of amateur events around my region. 

[pseudoswede]

Mine are eerily similar to Conan the Barbarian's...

 

1. Crush my enemies.

2. See them driven before me.

3. Hear lamentation of the women.

[mizuno player]

I have a few. 

 

1). Play more. The last five years I've averaged a out 6 /12 rounds. 

 

2). Break par at my new course. 

 

3). Play better in tournaments. I am a supreme chocker in tournaments. 

 

4). Play in two fairly major am tournaments that I can apply and be accepted to. ( If my game seems ready. That includes mentally )

Increase GIR and develop a semi-repeatable swing

[kmay__]

Break 90 more often. Learn how to hit driver properly, cause it is awful and the rest of my game is decent enough. 

 

Learn to focus on my own game and not what the rest of the group is doing. I got way to caught up last year in trying to keep my league group on the ball, and moving along at more than a snails pace, and it led to me not paying attention to my own game enough and my enjoyment and scores suffered as a result. 

[Taylor24]

Break par is the big one. I'd also like to play 50 rounds this year and walk about 80% of those rounds.

[Wooley12]

I shot my age once in a miraculous round but it wasn't my age my age when I shot it. Season goal is to shoot my age and this season I don't have to break par to do it. 😀

[elwhippy]

Get back at least 20 yards off the tee. Will involve lessons and Pilates. 

[Springsteennut]

Break 80 again this year. Lower my average score from 88 to 85/86.

[Blaiser]

Learn to hit a fade.

 

I've always played a draw exclusively and I feel like it holds me back that I can't comfortably move the ball from left to right.

 

It is sooooo much harder for me than it should be 😂

[8602081]

break 75 and then break par..

 

I'm playing better golf this year.. So, I think it can happen.
