I am starting a flexibility program in 2006 and I am working with a weighted club indoors and using a putting track to help my putting. I figure these should help the swing and lower the number of putts. I really want to work on course management as well, thank goodness winter is long!!

[4Iron]

I plan on 'just having fun' and enjoying the game!

[buckylasek]

I forgot to say, my bigest resolution would be to play golf more next year, i'll have to manage to have some more spare time.

[Chieflongtee]

If I can just learn how to chip it close I will be very happy. To me it is the most important shot in the game after putting.

[buckylasek]

The most important shot in golf is the last one, and the second one. The last one, means putt, or short approach, the second means putt or apporach on par 3, Approach on par 4 or less than 130 meter shot, and it means a good shot right in the middle for the par 5.

1. Get into better shape and find an extra 15 yards off the tee;
2. Play in the Canadian Club Champions Tournament at Bell Bay in Cape Breton;
3. Reduce my handicap to 2.5;
4. Play in more Ottawa Golf Tour events;
5. Take some money off Steve, Chris and Paul ... you know who you are.

I think you mean National Capital Golf Tour events in no 4
and I think you're in denial in no 5

I stand corrected on the new name of the Tour, but the only one in denial is you my friend. Get you money ready.

I think I'll try to achieve my list of goals for 2005 before I start on 2006.

How will you go about that?

[buckylasek]

Buy the powerball, or maybe anabolisants

[Law]

Practice more and play more with the expectation of improving my consistency.

Have I got a deal for you!!! Wanna be a part owner (shareholder) in an established club?

My goal is to just keep enjoying this bloody frustrating but fun game......

[Colby]

Let's see...

Get back to taking lessons to help correct the pulls I occasionally have. Make the AGF, or whatever name it will be this year, team at the club again. Keep my handicap in single digits, play in the club championship this year.

[ironmaster15213]

My goals this year are as follows, F.I.R. 62% (plan to back off on avg. distance for more accuracy). G.I.R. 77%, up slightly, Putts w/ G.I.R. 1.72 down a tad, and last but not least avg birdies per round, 30% This may be tough cause I busted my hump to get to 27%. If I can reach 2 of 4 of these goals it will be another truely great year. Hope springs eternal!!!

[Sphere Hunter]

2 goals for 2006:
1: Play at least 15 rounds of golf with my son. He just turned 9 years and I think he's now old enough to start learning the game.
2: Dedicate some time to working on my putting difficulties.

After finally getting back to this great game seriously this year. BTW SH I started when I was 8 playing a par 3 course in Windsor with my dad. My goal this year is to get my handicap to 5. I plan on getting here by taking a few early season lessons and then practice practice practice. Also I want to play 50 rounds minimum.

It's dangerous to teach golf to a young boy, when i played my first competition at 11, i really missed it and started to throw my clubs all over and to shout Hopefully i changed now, Sergio didn't

[BC MIST]

1. Win the MDS Nordion 5k race in the 60 -64 age group on May 27, 2006.

2. Maintain the #1 position on the OVGA senior ladder.

3. Maintain the level of play, (12 FW & 14 GIR) through 2006, as I doubt that at age 60, that I can improve much on these.

4. Continue my fitness routine of running 4 days a week, walking and showshoeing or cycling on the other 3, weights 3 days a week and stretching 7 days a week.

5. Shorten my OG Forum posts.

6. Help Sphere Hunter with his putting.

[Big Johnny69]

I only have three goals for 2006:

1) Make the Intersectional Team

2) Place in the top 5 in the A flight of the Club Championship

And 3) which will help me with 1 & 2 is to improve my chipping skills.

Nice to think there is hope. Not sure about your little devil icon. I know one thing, my putting can't get worse. Help!!!!!

What are you talking about? Your putting is wonderful. You drill the ball with confidence and can read the greens like no one else. Now if only you could hit your wedges.

That is why it is important to play for fun with your old man when you are young to learn the game and how to stay calm. I won my class in the Club Championship when I was 12-13 against guys as old as 18. I will never forget the 4-5 footer for par on the first playoff hole to win. I truly think this is due to the fact I played so much before this. Especially with my father who taught me it was for fun.

[Minor Swing]

arrive to mastering the AUSTIN swing for increasing accuracy and lenght

[buckylasek]

No use to shoot 400 yards, 300 is enough.
