This is truly my goal.  I'm going to take my wife and kids (24,21) more, whenever they want to go, even if its not the most convenient for me.  Continue to play with my brothers, whenever schedules allow.

But most importantly the last 1.5 years has taught me this.  That as a 55 year old, 30 year retired, policeman who has lost people 44, 47, 58, 60, 63 and 67 years old, fellow policemen, and personal friends all, that life is too short to really give two shits about anything that happens on a golf course, from this point forward  Even this year I was playing so poorly that I  let it get to me and quit after 9 holes.

I love playing the game but I REFUSE to allow it to affect me negatively in ANY WAY, from this point forward.

I am not unique, and I mean no offense to anyone,  I know everyone deals with difficulties in their own lives as all of you do.  I am still going to try and improve my golf game,  I am just not going to care if I do or don't get better anymore, I am just going to  be happy playing a game I enjoy, with people I care about.

I wish everyone success in their golf goals whatever they are, but much more importantly I wish everyone success, health and happiness with your families and friends.

I've got an 8 year old who has really  taken to the game so I've promised myself that i will try my best to teach her, without the pressure etc, just to show her how enjoyable it can be. Plan on playing a couple holes every Friday evening (homework permitting!)

-- Break 80

-- Break into Single digits

-- walk(carry) every round that I can.  Didn't buy that SL2 for nothing.

-- play once a week

-- Have fun, not get lost in the grind, and remember that I'm lucky to get to play as much as I do.

My world's completely changed for this year, so I think my goals will also be changing  throughout thr year. 

Joking goals:

- Convince my wife to let me bring my putter into the delivery room to pass the time with.

Convince my wife to let me bring helmet wearing baby to the golf course.

 

Actual goals:

- acknowledge and become comfortable with the fact that I won't practice or play as much and that my scores will suffer a bit.

- appreciate and enjoy the times I get out and the company. 

Rag tag bag, but it does the job. 

Taylormade R1 driver.

Ping G400 3 wood.

Cleveland Halo Launcher 3 hybrid.

Cleveland CBX launcher irons (5-PW). 

Assorted wedges (48, 52, 58).

Odyssey White Hot Pro 2.0 putter.

Sounds like my program, especially the third.

If I’m not enjoying it, what’s the point? I learned years ago that score is a very small part of enjoying golf. If the weather is decent and I’m playing with three other guys I enjoy, what I score can’t spoil the day. OTOH if I’m having the round of my life in bad weather (unlikely) and/or with guys I don’t like, that’s not my idea of enjoyment. Fortunately I’m in a league of 60+ guys with only a couple I don’t much care to play with - but I can put up with anyone for 4 hours in a life that’ll probably be 700-800,000 hours.

I think that these are the most difficult of your list to obtain. KUDO's for the ambition.  You're going to have to play 33 rounds of golf with a different threesome. You will have some stories to tell for sure! 

Best of luck.

I may not have thought this one through enough.  haha. 

I do think this will be one of the hardest on the list (club championship is probably the hardest).  The birdies is doable if only because of how often I play (2 golf leagues during the summer weeks and then a Saturday group).   Playing with "randoms" is something I have slowly started to love, generally people are good.  Only ever had one bad experience.

I don't even try to compete in my clubs, club championship. Even at my handicap I'm not in their league. If you're in two leagues and a Saturday group I hope your Saturday group travels to different courses. 20 different courses at least! 🤣
