what is your goal for the year
- Thread starter Tarazarr
- Start date
I'm starting late on this one... half way through the year. But these goals have been on my mind since the beginning of the year and I'm keeping them simple.
#1) Play 8 new courses to up my count to 25 total. We don't have a lot of options close to me so I wanted to keep the goal realistic and end up with a "nice" number.
Status... Started off on New Year's Day on a new course at 8:00 in the morning. And I've played three new courses since so I'm exactly half to my goal at almost exactly half way through the year. I can handle that.
#2) Improve my putting. I stink outside of 20'. I probably only make 3-4/10 from 25' and 2/10 from 30'. Beyond 40' is just a crapshoot.
Status... I still stink outside of 20' and might be worse now than I was in January. Ouch! I think I have a big mental block more than anything physical. I'm really trying to improve my "self talk" so that I'm not always saying "my putting stinks" to myself as I line up for a putt.
Oh, well. Whether my putting stinks or not, at least I should be able to get to 25 courses played this year.

My goal is exactly this
exept I don't have to drive as far as you. haha!
Lucky you! I'm hoping to find an excuse to head up there before school starts again. I'm hoping to convince a friend or two to come along (split gas prices, hell yeah!) and crash at a friends place in the cities.
I would really like to be able to move up to Advanced. I've been stuck at 891 for a while now. I would also like to play a few more courses that I haven't played before.
If you come up for disc golf, you should also try Kaposia as well as those two. It was one of the courses for the majestic I do believe.
Hey Steve where is your course gonna be?
Here are my DG goals for the year....
1. Improve my overall game, putting, driving (backhand anny, sidearm), and midrange accuracy.
2. Play some more great Texas courses, especially the ones in Dallas and Waco.
3. Participate in as many tournaments as I can and get my player rating in the 890-900 range (don't know what mine is yet).
4. Educate as many people as I can about DG.
5. Play with all these great players in the Houston area and learn as much as I can from them.
6. HAVE FUN.

Disc Golf Goals:
1. More consistent drives, I get 320ish on good drives, but hit too many trees and suffer for it.
2. By money putting from 25 feet and in
3. Stay out of the woods as much as possible
4. Lose enough weight where I don't get so fatigued after 24 at Kaposia...epic uphills just kill me.
5. Complete my bag...still need some patches for the outside to rep my equipment

I just began playing in May of this year.
A year from now I hope to:
1.) Compete in 10 tournaments (and hopefully some PDGA events)
2.) Drive the majority of my 100% rips around 400' (I currently can throw slightly less than field goal post to field goal post on a standard football field... 360'*?* around 50% of the time)
3.) Be a more confident putter and put in anything under 20' every time.
4.) Continue to play as much as I play now.

My goal this year was too not set goals... I find I am far happier with the results I achieve.

I want, scratch that, need a backhand. I also want to master the modified fan grip for my approach shots. I would like a better rating but that will come only after the more tangible improvements to my game. Finally, I want to play advanced in the pdga tournament at my home course next spring. Fianlly for a second time, I want to learn to play smarter.

This was my list of goals i posted here back on April 3rd......Play a handfull of new courses
Get my rating over 900 (currently 879)
Qualify for the Am Worlds
Qualify for the NEFA Finals
......another ace this year would be cool too
On April 25th i won my first PDGA(and NEFA) sanctioned event. Since then I've won two more, including this weekend at my home course. So I figure this takes care of the Worlds and NEFA Finals goals.
Back in May, the ratings update put me at 894 and i have at least 4 more 900+ rounds since then. I figure my rating should easily break into the 900's when the PDGA updates later this month.
Played 3 new courses so far with 2 more on my schedule(pre reg'd tournies).
All that's left is another ace...........

Number three is done, I threw 350' yesterday.
Number five is never done, but I have been helping people, hence my forum topic "About giving away discs".
Number six is done. Finished 10th, not too bad.
I love seeing progress made. Only a few more goals to finish before the end of the year. Woot
