'A 30 something Beginners golf journey'

February & 2011 goals.

So February is here and I’m thinking about my goals for the year. I want to break 80 this year in a general knock from the yellows. I also want to break 90 in a comp. Handicap goal for year end is 18. These should all be achievable goals.

Biggest goal of the year is to get comfortable playing in medals. We all play our best golf when we are relaxed and focused, I know it’s just a matter of use before I feel comfortable in the medal comps, so I plan to enter as many as possible and to hell with the score. I’m just going to play to enjoy a round of golf.

Work looks much busier this year and I will have chunks of time when I will not be able to get out as much as last season, but I will have enough time generally especially if I use it efficiently.

From now until April I’m working mainly on the swing at the range and on pitching to distances. Then I will switch to mostly short game stuff and especially chipping & putting.

I’m half committed to not changing any of my clubs this year and I have enough golf balls to see me through the year. So at least my equipment will be consistent.

I think the next step is a video lesson mid Feb, I can’t do it before then due to work commitments but it will be nice to see what the swing looks like after my tinkering over the winter.
