2012 Goals

[jeffc]

mine are the usual, not much new here:

1. Play as much as possible (not as much as I wanted to but more than last year)
2. Enjoy every round as if it were my last (managed to do this)
3. Play with as many OG'ers as possible (not too many new faces but played with Reza, Gropper, The Saint, John, Wilster Carlbrunet and a few others this summer)
4. Get my index into single digits (12 right now) (got it to 10.5 - still want to do this next year)
5. Break 80 a couple of times this year (shot 76 twice so mission accomplished)
6. Play with my dad as much as possible (got a couple of rounds in with him)

that's about it. Just going to enjoy the season and play as much as i can.

All in all, a decent year for golf. Looking forward to 2013

My 2012 goals:

Get my handicap back into the single digits after watching it go to a 10 last summer.
Shoot 5 rounds in the 70s (only 3 in 2011)
Make 2 birdies per round (had 1.8-ish in 2011)
Finish the year at par or better on par 5's
Reliably hit a draw and fade instead of a hook and slice.
Finish in the finals of both the Team and Singles OG matchplay.
1 eagle in 2012.

Handicap ended around 8.0 for the year, I hardly played any golf after OG Ryder Cup which helped keep it down.
2 rounds in the 70s and 1 round in the 60s
Missed the birdies per round bid. I probably averaged 1 per round before Canada Day, but not many after.
Not even close to par or better on par 5s. I probably finished better on par 3's surprisingly.
I can hit a fade pretty reliably now, but the draw is still tricky.
Jordan and I didn't get off the ground in the team match play, but I did make the singles finals vs. Wilster.
Made 2 eagles this summer as well.

I didn't have many opportunities to play this year, but when I did, I wasn't half bad, so I'll take it. Made a lot of putts that I probably shouldn't have, so that was a great thing to see too.

Now to make plans for 2013...

You also learned the proper spelling to your screen name!

I want to stop worrying about scoring on holes and just play the shot in front of me. Did this most rounds.
My goal is to not set any goals for my handicap. Last season I went from a 16 to a 20 handicap. Cap stayed at 20.
I want to enjoy the game more. I did enjoy the game more this year.
I want to practice my short game more. Inside 50 yards my game is horrendous. I didn't practice at all, not once.
Play more and hurt less. I hurt my back in April 2011 at work and my game suffered and I suffered tremendously.
I have already done 2 months of pilates and core strength work to fix it. I have been doing ab workouts and shoulders every day for months now; my lower back only gave out twice this season.
I feel better physically than I have in years, should be a good season.

I did get my first eagle this year.
