My goal for this year is to simply improve my short game. I don't feel that I hit my wedges close enough to the pin and I want to improve my pitching from 50 yards and in. I typically score in the 70s and this is mostly due to my short game. My ball striking is where I'm lacking, however; I don't think this is what is preventing me from lowering my scores. I'm not super long off the tee so statistically I'm probably not going to hit as many greens or at least get it very close to the hole consistently but I feel that if I'm consistently getting good birdie putts with my short game it will lead to lower scores.

Simple for me.....play more golf.

im currently a 1.7 handicap and my goal is by my birthday july 5th to get my handicap down to 0 (scratch)

Im curious about how many people make their goals general or specific. I know players like you an I can't realistically get the stats they get on tour, but like some one says be a better putter, or hit more fairways.

I personally want to hit more fairways this season. I want that to be a specific goal. I gotta keep track of that and pay attention. Have a real focus on the tee, ya know?

previous years I've wrote my goals down and for example… "Hit it higher with the driver" or "play well in this tournament or that tournament: I just found that to be very general.

I need to make my goals more specific.

I play in a handful of SoCal tournaments and USGA qualifiers. My goal this summer is to qualify for more. I havent played in a USGA event since Jr. Amateur (years ago ha) and 1 for 5 is SCGA qualifiers over the past 2 years when I started playing in tournaments again. Last year I was able to get a win in a local city tournament which was a good stepping stone. Putt better, avoid that 1 bad tee shot that goes OB a round, trust the swing, and be confident are top goals of 2016.

I'd like to find more fairways off the tee which will hopefully get my GIR up. I would also like to shoot in the low 80's, high 70's consistently and get into a few local tournaments.

I'm a 6 handicap and my goal will be to lower it to at least a 5 handicap. That would make me happy!!!

To reach an official handicap of 4 or better to be eligible to try for qualifying for the US Open....

Play more golf and improve putting with my new Scotty Cameron!

Just to practice more and make more solid hits with my clubs...

I'm an 8 handicap and my 2015 goal was to shoot par on 9 holes. I did it too! This year I would like to shoot par on 18 and go under par on 9 holes.

Consistency
