WyattTroxell Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 2023 was my first year back playing golf full-time (outside of work scrambles). I hadn't played regular rounds of golf in probably 15 years. I was able to get back to an 8.7. I was fitted (although I'm not convinced it was a proper fitting) for PXG clubs. Goals for 2024: Reduce handicap from 8.7 to 5.9 or lower. Gain clubhead speed to a playing speed of 110+ (currently ~105) Get properly fitted by former club pro at my current club (he fits for Titleist and I am scheduled for March) Win a tournament at the club I think that is it for now. I really want to continue working on the mental aspect of the game. I use Arccos to track data and love seeing how my SG changes over time. It has really helped me be confident in my short game, which I usually play much better than my handicap.

LinksgolfFever Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 My goals for 2024 are: Handicap at or below 5 by EOY. Last year started as a 15 got down to 8. Working on all aspects of my game to make this a real possibility Better course management: less hero shots, more accepting bad shots and not compounding them with bad follow-up shots. Make it to match play semi-finals or finals in NCGA tournament. Single elimination tournament last years field was 256, I got as far as round of 16, played terrible that day and my opponent was lights out!!! 120 rounds played, and get in some new courses. I have a trip planned this summer to Jamaica, and am planning to get in 3 or 4 rounds there.

BreakfastBall15 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 My 2024 goals: Get to a single digit handicap. Been sitting between 11 and 12 for a while. Spend more time practicing putting. As much fun as it is to get to the range and send balls flying, putting is the weakest part of my game by far. Spend more time chipping. After putting, my wedge game is the 2nd worst part of my game. Improve accuracy off the tee. I’ve improved my driving substantially but find myself in the trees or other fairways too often. Finally, just have fun. I’m not entering tournaments so I can live with bad shots and bad rounds every so often.

Pyecraft Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) Great thread all. My local, beautiful par3 9hole course, 5minutes away opens on March23rd! I could hug myself, but enough about me, there's only time until early November to achieve: Plan A to fly a 185yard shot over the front bunker; hold up on the 1st hole green for a chance at par. For just once. That'll soften the impulse to drain my hipflask too early. Plan B to play one steady, simple round under 30. No mulligans, kicking out or dropping balls from a secret pocket in more favorable lies. That sort of stuff. Plan C to limit rounds of over 40 to 3. Alright, I'll go with 5. Plan D to earn a realistic handicap from a Par3 that'll transfer to the 18hole tracks. A full understanding of the moon-shot calculations discussed in another thread, could easily be Plan E but it fits well here. Also, answering 28 to handicap enquiries seems more honest than "haven't a clue, mate'. Looks fishy; shark-like. Plan E finally, will depend on success of the above. Come September it'd be nice to feel at least competent playing a famed 18hole course here on Vancouver Island. Good luck everyone, I hope we each get to re-read our posts favorably come season's end.

You nailed it Marlin, so many more ways for poor mid-iron play to ruin a scorecard. Yet, doing the math .... multiplying a par72 times a par27 gives a factor of 2.6 which translates a 35 stroke into 91, a 40 into104 strokes, etc. Surprisingly, those numbers seem to reflect the extra difficulty of 18 hole length pretty accurately - 2.6 times more opportunity for a course to defend itself. While far from an official handicap, it does offer a 'lay-man appeal' for simple tracking of a personal improvement. Apologies for the dry response; no humor in mathematics, only irony I'm afraid.
