2017 Season Goals thread


hckymeyer

Recommended Posts

Here in MN we actually have a couple courses opening for this weekend, absolutely the earliest opening I can ever remember.  Don't worry, it will get cold again and they will close.  Any only a couple are opening anyway.

 

That said it's really time to think about the upcoming season.  What are your goals for 2017?  Here are mine...

 

  • No rounds in the 90's
  • Shoot under par
  • Get a hole in one (this is on the list every year :) )
  • Play more rounds than last year
  • Stay married (also on the list every year)
  • Get to a 2 handicap

I guess I'd say...

 

Maintain my hcp. around 5-7 throughout the year. At my home course that's shooting in the 75-77 range.

Play as much as I want

Stay healthy

Practice a little more often

Enjoy life

I've decided to work really hard at becoming a better overall putter.  I'm pretty much at a stand still as far as becoming a tour pro goes ;) so I better just work on the part of my game that will help me win more blitz money.  :D

If your shooting 75-77 that is no where near a 5-7 handy. You would be much lower.

Get back to a + handicap and stay there through tournament season. 

Win a stroke play tournament or 3.

Find a new club. (My preview membership at the Ritz Carlton of clubs in my area is up in March.)

Make a hole in 1 or an albatross. 

 

Have some fun and make some new buddies (as always).

If you're averaging 3-5 over par and play to a 5-7 handy it must be the easiest course in TX.

Haha maybe. But if he's teeing it forward and the course rating is in the 67-68 range, wouldn't that be about right?

FYI... course rating is 68.7 from the men's White tee and it measures 6030 yds on the card. :D I personally believe it plays harder. The course hasn't been re-rated in like forever.  Somewhat recently we've had new greens installed, 12-new bunkers, 3-new tee boxes, and 150 large trees planted. All of which changed the course.

 

If it weren't for the club Championship I'd probably drop my handicap. This might be my last year anyway. I quit playing in all the other sandbagged,  2-3 day food & beverage, Calcutta, pro shop gift certificate, kegger events a few years back. It was a good 40 year run.

Lately when someone asks me what my handicap is I tell them this is what I shoot day in day out and I give them a narrow range. It's more honest I think.

 

Sorry if I swayed off topic.

Maintain my hcp. around 5-7 throughout the year. At my home course that's shooting in the 75-77 range.

Play as much as I want

Stay healthy

Practice a little more often

Enjoy life

I could make these my goals... well, except for the 75-77 range.  Yes, I can shoot those scores, but not on a regular basis.  And now that I enter a new decade of my life, I find more and more that I Don't Care.

Other than my normal "have fun".... I'm going to make a real effort to be a better putter. My home course is on my way to work. As soon as it starts getting light early enough, I'm going to go early and stop at the practice green before work, and maybe play 4 and 5 up and down a few times.
