2010 Goals

[stevek]

Goals for me;

1- Break 90 consistantly this year - had my first two sub 90 rounds last fall.

2- Keep my fitness up for the year. My shoulder problems from last fall have finally been fixed so I can resume/start weight training again.

3- Stop at the range twice a week to improve my game.

4- (For my wife) Control my Temper - which I have been working on last fall and so far this year in Varadero. - This should also result in more fun playing - (Accomplished by laughing/smiling at my bad shots)

5- Be Competitive at Greensmere's Men's league - my first league experience.

6- Get my first Ace - got my first Eagle (putting from green) last year.

[Adska]

My goal for the year: "Practice like a pro, play like a kid"
If I can do that I can achieve my secondary goals:

Make intersquad team at Hunt
qualify and contend into the final round of Club Championship
Make it through to the final day of the Citizen
Attempt to qualify for at least one RCGA or USGA Championship

oh ya, Continue to OWN my buddy Adam (adska) all summer!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA - Only in your dream's spike.

Intersectionals, contend in clubs, final day of citizen, RCGA/USGA??? Absolutely buddy... I don't think you'll beat me once

[Shivas Irons]

1. Finally make it out to an OG event
2. Play more rounds than I did last year
3. Not care how I score
4. Bring my daughter to the range for the first time (I'm really looking forward to this one)
5. Play at least one scramble

[nokids]

-learn the art of trash talking
-play 18 holes with the same ball
-never 3 putt
-walk instead of driving a cart
-convince my gf to take up golfing

[Colby]

Let's see...

- Shoot par this year (had a 74 last year)
- Get my index to 5 (had it down to 7.1 last year)
- Take some lessons again (it's been a few years)

But mostly to have fun and enjoy the day and the group I am golfing with.

I retired last July. Got the ok from the wife to sign up for the Am Tour on the Golf Channel. My goal is to win at least one in my flight. I would also like to earn enough points to get to play the National at TPC Sawgrass in the fall!!

On the home front I would like to get my cap back down from where it is now (6) to a (3). Personal best is 67 would like to beat that once. And break par 10 times in the summer. My best so far is 6 sub par rounds in one summer. At my age these may be tall tasks but, heck, what are goals for, anyway!!!

Have fun this summer my Canadian friends!!!

1- don't get frustrated after a bad shot
2- break 80
3- work on whatever part of my game needs working on
4- enter a couple tourneys
5- play as much as possible and have fun

[adam]

Goal: Play Reza when his cap gets to 13 this year and mine has ballooned into the 20s for "some strange reason" and finally whoop him in a match.

Well, I started last year at nearly 22 and got it down to 14.7

Goals for this year:
1) Have fun
2) Play relatively pain free
3) Bring down HDCP down into the 10s
4) Get an Eagle
5) Get an Ace
6) Beat Gropper in 51% or more of matches played against him.

[ironmaster15213]

Now that my knee is feeling much better I would like to get my handicap back below a 2 and bring my g.i.r. back above 70 percent. Besides that I'll just enjoy the company and the courses.

[Hearzy]

- Get out and play as much as possible
- Not buckle under the pressure
- Shoot consistantly in the mid to low 80's (broke 90 once last year)
= Stay calm and collected
- Win Big Johnny's tourney again

[rezadue]

Get in Line my friend. You are standing right behind Gropper and Spackler.

I should buy one of those "Now Serving" signs.

Crazy.... almost 6 hours and reply ??

What's going on?

Who's on vacation??

[Gropper]

The only this Reza is going to be serving me....is beer! After i beat him like he stole something.

[rezadue]

Your trash talk is like a limp noodle... WEAK

If anyone is in line for anything behind me and Gropper, one thing's for sure: whatever you were standing in line for, they're probably out of after we go through. Food, Reza's dignity, whatever. Best to jump the queue if you can.

[Wilster]

So lets see...
1 - play more golf
2 - beat TGN again in the Ryder cup
3 - play more NCGT events
4 - get my approach shots back in order
5 - whoop Reza in the matchplay tourney

...should be a good season.

The easier goals are:

Spend money on lessons not equipment
Practice much more than play

The more difficult ones are:

Hit 25% more greens in regulation
Reduce HC to single digit

These goals kind of blend into each other, if I take more lessons and practice more I will have a better chance to increase my GIR and that would help me reduce my HC.

[leafman]

Never had any swing guidance, self taught swing so this year I am trying to learn the stack and tilt swing (via dvd's) and learn a "better" swing style.

My main goal is to stick with studying/working on the new swing.

-breaking 80-got to 82 last year at my peak then fell off
-keep getting better, made some strides last year and want to keep it going
-Play 70-100 rounds
-lose 15-20 pounds (mostly by walking 70-100 rounds)
-really work on putting greens

[Strangebrew]

- get in at least 40 rounds
- play in a few scrambles
- score my first eagle
- break 40 on 9
- get my wife out more often

[corchard]

1) lay a beat down on OG at Ryder cup
2) Clean Ryder cup of Skanky Ottawa crud.
3) Drink a fine bordeaux from the hallowed piece of tin

I admire the focused nature of these goals, but I think you should add an unrelated one, just so that the entire season isn't a failure before June even rolls along.

That's awesome! I see the ads for it all the time and wish we north of the border could be included. Let us know how it is, I'm sure they'll do a first rate job with it. If I can't take part, the next best thing I guess is living vicariously through someone else. Good luck!

Drop forum member Pinshark a PM. Not sure if it's still around, but for the last couple of seasons Ottawa had some GC Am Tour events held locally.
