As 2007 comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to review golf goals from 2007. They were:

• Keep my 9 hole scores starting with a 3 or 4. I don’t want to reach the half-century mark again this year.
• Break 80.
• Get a hole in one. (When isn’t this a goal for a golfer?)
• Break 40 more consistently.
• Keep a slower controlled swing.
• Talk Dad into making a trip to Ireland.

How did I do?

• After March 31st, when I posted those goals, I shot 10 nine hole scores in the 50s.
• I still have never broke 18. I’m sure I could have done it a few times after shooting a good 9 hole score, but didn’t play a second 9 a lot of those days.
• Still no ace on the scorecard.
• I broke 40 more than in 2006, but not more on a percentage basis.
• I was in control of my swing more than I ever have been.
• Dad is up for the Ireland golf trip. It will most likely be a few years down the road though

Not too bad, not too good. Chipping and putting was the key for me in 2007 and I sucked at it. It’s time to start working on goals for 2008.
