Share Your 2025 Golf Goal

Commit to playing at least once a month! When I do play, not take it so serious. Enjoy my time be it by myself, friends, or strangers and just enjoy *trying* to hit some golf shots.

I'd like to break 80, increase my driving distance, but mainly get through the season without injury. It's a shorter season in the Calgary area so there's not a lot of time to get my game in order.

- Play more golf with my dad - Break par twice - Master the 50-yard bunker shot (à la Bryson)

Last year I started getting some gnarly back pain playing golf as a reasonably healthy 30 year old. Recently put in a lot of work in the off season with a TPI professional (highly recommended btw) to understand why it was happening and get on a mobility/strength training regimen. Although I'm already almost there, a healthy and pain free swing in 2025 is all I can ask for. All my other golf goals (more rounds, lower scores, etc.) flow out of that.

Walk more! Golfing in central Ohio is a joke, and you can't get out on a course for under $50 with a cart (I was told prices would go down, but apparently only in Greenland? Am I reading this right?) even at most of the munis. You can save $20 and get a good workout by eschewing the cart.

- Care less. I put too much pressure on myself to perform when playing in events - Get my anti-cap below 20 - Play with and against better players more often

- Beat my best 18 hole score 76(+4) - Get to 1000+ holes played for 5th straight year - Make the Horse Race in Home Course Tournament

Going to Pinehurst in November. Currently playing at a 14, but my new years resolution is to practice more than I play, and I'd like to break 90 more times than not when I'm at Pinehurst
