Goals for 2012:
Do not lose any more distance on my drivers
-From 2010 to 2011 I lost about 20-30 feet of my drives
-Probably a combination of age and unintentional technique change after a wrist injury
Finally settle on a putting routine and technique
- I have three putted more in the last two years than all my years previously combined
- My overall confidence has increased in the last, creating more go for it instead of layups, which adds to the longer return putts and thus more three putts.
Stop toying with my bag set-up
-I made it a goal to set-up a bag and play with it through 2011. That lasted about two months before I did some major overhauls of my bag.
-In the last three months I have swapped out a disc here and there but the core of my bag has seemingly stabilized.
Play in less tournaments and or have more fun playing
- I got absolutely destroyed in tournaments after June (the wrist injury). My rating has tragically tanked and does not accurately reflect how I normally play in leagues and fun rounds.
- Our amateur league is going strong but could definitely use a boost
- I am thinking of starting a second amateur league centered on the idea of fun rounds and games
- There is a possibility that I will be able to design and build a course for my church
- I am thinking of cancelling my PDGA membership because I do not play in enough tournaments as it is to make it worth my while.
Dial in my forehand shot
-2011 I dedicated to nailing down thumbers. I am fairly confident in this shot now and hope I can do the same for forehands
- Right now I am very hit and miss with this shot. Sometimes I nail it perfectly, other times I give it too much anhyzer and it never comes back. I am trying my best to not go too overstable in hopes of correcting this.

Are you thinking a local weekly league that is set at a particular course or a league that is a group of players that travels from course to course on a set schedule?
I have an amateur league that just wrapped up for the year, but we will be starting again in March. We play as a league once a month but require you get in three matches a month between the league events. We are always looking for more amateur level players.
I am not assuming you are an amateur, but if you are interested, let me know. I know already that some of the things we do will meet some of your 2012 goals. Every August our league makes an annual road trip and in 2012 we are heading back to Highbridge for three days and two nights. Our league also hosts an Ace Race and there is a possibility that we are going to get involved in developing a course at my church early next year.
taking 1st in an open tourney isn't on the list?

I gotta disagree. You gotta pay the pdga more every year, along with higher entry fees, and extremely good open competition in charlotte. No person should ever be forced to play professional in any sport, the commitment is much much greater.

No one said anything about being forced to do anything. I know my opinion doesn't matter, but I just think if you are placing in the top 10 or 20 at worlds, it is time to step aside and let someone else have a shot. Keeping your AM status for the sole reason of winning tournaments is sandbagging. I also understand that NC has a ton of talent, and the divisions are tough, but isn't that the point of competition.

typo? Or the normal thread drift with big distance claims?
