2015, played my first tourney after starting 17 years ago. Became fully addicted. Hitting 350 consistently with accuracy. Got over I'm no longer playing to win, now just want to play better than I did the last time I played
2016 goals, play as many tourneys as I can. Better my form every time I play. Finally get that Latitude E2 bag I've wanted. And feel confident enough to register for intermediate for the 2017 GBO.

Agreed. Plus the vids are fine. Gotta let the trolls talk to themselves.
And your super nice, helping me with the working out thing. I feel like i have a good routine that strengthens me while still not interrupting my real training. Not nearly as vigorous as when i started haha.

2015: my goal was to play atleast one tournament for the first time. I ended up winning my first ever tournament and placed 6th out of 20ish guys in my second. (Both in am/ intermediate divisions so not a huge deal, but cool to me)
2016 goals: play more tournaments and play more in general. I want to change the way I practice so it is more focused on putting and less on throwing big drives. I also want to focus on hitting my intended lines more often and getting a more consistant release of the disc during practice, but only worry about scoring well during rounds. Basically I want to differentiate between times that I am practicing and working on my form and times I am trying to score well. For whatever reason I will convince myself that its okay to throw multiple shots off the tee and take mulligans, but that doesnt translate well to tournament rounds for me.

2015 accomplishments
Consistently hitting 300' in the field. Now I know all the technique terms (crushing the can, hip turn, snap, etc.) and when I'm doing it wrong so when I review my field video I know what I need to work on. Got a basket for the backyard and feel confident within 20-25' range (don't necessarily make them on the course though).
2016 goals
Consistently hit 300' on the course and 350' in field. Feel comfortable with the 30'-45' putting. Work on more accuracy with up shots. This is going into my third year and the hard work is paying off with more confidence, better scores, better accuracy, and less time looking in the shule for discs which means a lot more fun.

I know it sounds silly, but by not playing all the time I can focus more on fun. It honestly got to the point where playing just felt like a chore. I could never go just play a round...I was always focused on fixing (well, working on) some shot I screwed up at league or a tournament. It would be one thing if I was setting the world on fire, but my biggest tournament accomplishment this year was two consecutive 3rd place finishes in MA2. Whoop-dee-do.
So playing less means I will be playing when I want to. Not having the obligation in my mind of "I have to go play/putt/do footwork/fieldwork because I have an event coming up."
I want to get back to why I loved disc golf: farting around out in the fresh air with my buddies, never being frustrated, and not wasting thousands of dollars a year on events.
Sorry for the long explanation (I doubt anyone here really gives a **** what I do) but I figured I'd explain myself instead of coming across like some anti-disc golf goon.
Don't worry, Jack Piston. You'll always come off as a goon to me.

I played 3 pdga events (less than planned, but 3 more than last year) and cashed in two. (Couldnt finish a round in the other, finished bogey bogey bogey par all three rounds...)
2016 goals? Basically be known as "the guy with the great sidearm" or "hes a great putter..." not just "man he sure throws far..."
I hope to get out to more and continue to round out my game this year. I am close to being equally confident in sidearm and backhand inside 300'. Then its backhand up to max d.
Stick to a putting style. I have flopped back and forth to straddle putting for years, which is great for versitility, but bad for long term confidence and consistancy.
Also stick to a bag. Its pretty well set, minus I thinkl sharks will take all mid duties back this year. I love the verdict, and like the truth but...

I got to live my childhood dream for years, yet you try to use it to insult me.
Yep, you really showed me.

I don't play much competitive golf anymore, so there wasn't a lot of goal setting for 2015. I wanted to gain control of my forehand, so learning to throw understable plastic straight was probably the biggest one. I think I did a pretty good job with it, but on the flip side my backhand is pretty weak.
So, the goal for this year is to get my backhand back. I'm taking a new position at work next week, so hopefully that means more time to play a couple of tournaments this year.

You're too easy. Seriously.
