-Have a consistent backhand shot any distance
-A consistent forehand (300'+)
-9/10 at 30'
-Shoot a 1000 rated round
1) Continue to maintain an 18.0 holes per day round over the year and for my career . . . sitting at 18.27 for my career.
2) Maintain my average of 100 new courses per year by surpassing 500 courses. Sitting at 460 so I will be passing 500 by the time my road-trip ends in February.
3) To have played every public accessible course in WI by the end of 2013. Private courses will be bonus courses and not included in this quota. I have about 50/220 left to play which includes a few private courses listed on DGCR.
4) Get back on track ad get my rating between 915-925. I am currently sitting at 906
5) Win an Intermediate tournament. 3 time runner up and 4 time 3rd place is just not good enough for me.
6) Practice putting especially 20-30' at least twice per week for 20-30 minutes.
7) Write 3-4 more articles for publications about disc golf to help spread the word about our sport. (I already had 2 published in 2012 and one more is about to be published).
8) Get my typcial driving distance to 275-300' instead of 240-250' . . . without needing a roller to accomplish that.
9) Get no less than 5 courses in the ground whether they be permanent courses or temporary seasonal courses on other properties.
10) Spread the word to as many people about course design and sustainability. Assist people in getting the information on how to correctly install and maintain disc golf courses with proper horticultural techniques. Improve peoples turf management on the disc golf courses by explaining techniques to reduce and avoid compaction. (NOT MEASURABLE BUT I WILL BE DOING IT)
1) Continue to improve mental game, both shot to shot decision making and 'frustration tolerance index.' I've come a long way...my Italian side makes me want to put out hits on trees...but always room to improve.
2) Start playing competitively. Plan to finally join the local club and play singles/dubs, plus some other area events. I always thought of myself as a "casual golfer," but I'm finding myself jonesing for competitive experience. (Plus I qualify for 'masters,' which helps.)
3) Focus on powered-down accuracy. I'm fine with my D, and my accuracy at 85-100% power. I need work on tight-line, standstill, lower powered accuracy, both left/right and D control.
4) Learn to throw a roller, find a disc I can get 300+ ft out of with a hook thumber.
Last year I had a pretty solid set of goals. This year I'm being a little less rigid. I have some plans, but no real goals.
1. Bring the fun back. Don't get me wrong, tournament rounds are fun, but they're also stressful and can be very frustrating. In the last three years, my weekends have been dominated by tournament play. I'm going to shut that down a bit and reclaim some of my weekends for casual play.
2. More Travel. For the tournaments that I do play, I'm looking to broaden my horizons a bit and travel to some bigger events. Tentatively on my schedule are A-Tiers in PA, CT, and DE as well as Am Worlds.
Decision making and course management have improved.Better decision making
Get consistent in the circle
Quit changing my bag around
clean up my form a little more
play more tournaments.

Improve putting now that i got an innova skillshot for Christmas. Done

Play at least 104 rounds (average of 2/week) WAY done!
1. Stay healthy
2. Stay healthy
3. Stay healthy
4. Improve BH distance and consistency (distance goal is 350')
5. Throw FH without injury. Bonus: regain lost distance
6. Start playing doubles and tournaments again
7. Play at least one new course out of Iron Hill, Tyler SP, Pinchot SP, and Scarboro Hills
I'm trying to hit 300 courses played by July 17th, which would mark 10 years of disc golf for me. It will be an upward battle as I have 29 to go, and not much time or energy to plan a big trip. By the end of the year would be more manageable.
Did I reply in this thread? Check.
And I got it done in Fulton, MO on July 6th. So mission accomplished. I might go easy and shoot for 325 this year.
