Here's to hoping you stay healthy and strong this year. And to all of those who've struggled with physical limitations in life, and disc golf. Let's have a great 2017. :thmbup:
 
2016:
Learned to control my mental game in tournaments far better than the previous season.
Almost reached my goal of a 930 rating (928).
4 more aces.

2017:
Continue the trends from the last half of 2016 - starting with Fox Valley Open in early July, I had 0 rounds under 900, only 4 of 13 were under 930, and 4 of the 13 were over 950.
End the year at 945+
Moar aces!
 
2016
Survived and recovered from another surgery.
*Expanded Stoney Hill to 32 holes.
*Grew team play tournament to the point of filling early.
Contributed a little bit to the American Disc Golf Tour discussion.
(* - or at least did my half, along with my brother)

2017
Get healthy enough to play tournaments
Build a few more holes at Stoney Hill, so we can sort out the two overlapping layouts.

1 MA1 win, and 1st ever MPO cash (it was a c-tier, but still)
6/7 tournaments in cash or prizes

That's my baseball goal every year! I did not match your 2016 feat (although mine didn't go out as often as it did in 2015 and it went right back in every time :rolleyes:). Baby steps.

Back to the original question:

Shot an under par round (and 5 down at that) at a legitimate course
Bought dozens of discs
Finally settled (mostly) on both a casual round bag and a tournament bag

2017:
Play five PDGA tournaments
Win a monthly
Shoot under par in the 27-hole monthly (best is 6 over)
Not buy so many discs/stop endless micro-managing of my bag composition
Play 15 new courses (including DeLa)
(Baseball) Have a much better year hitting than 2016 - get back to 2015 form

1st ever cash in a tournament
Started throwing speed 12/13 discs as part of my regular bag
