2011 Goals

[runnaman]

These goals really help me with my game and I suggest everyone set at least two types of goals: yearly and career.

Here were my goals from last year:

Done - 1) Throw 450' (Just broke 400' yesterday)
Close - 2) Be consistantly 10/10 20' and in.
No - 3) Have 8/10 consistantcy from 30'
No - 4) Play 7 more courses (including Whistlers)
got 4 - 5) Get an ace (doesn't hurt to put it right?)
Done - 6) Score 900+ rated rounds in a tournament (Right now I've had one but my second round was below)
Done - 7) Get a membership and get my rating over 880.
Done - 8) Host a fundraiser tournament for the Western Oregon Disc Golf Club.

Putting can always use practice, also goal #1 is competitive distance.

First I would like to say that this is a great idea for a thread, thanks! Second a little advice to those who have posted and will post. Make sure that you write down these goals it always makes it more possible to achieve them.

1. Set aside 30 minutes at least 4 times a week to practice putting
2. Win an tourney in advanced
3. Hit 6 aces(this may change but I have hit 5 so far this year might as well make it one more)
4. Get to a pro rating playing in tourneys
5. At least two times a month get in field practice just throwing discs(weather permitting)
6. Hit an ace either in leagues or a tourney
7. Shoot a 1000 rated round in a tourney
8. Play the highbridge hill courses and the lemon lake courses and blue ribbon pines
9. Become the best/most consistent player at my home course
10. Make my distance drives more consistent on 450 plus
11. Drive more consistent any distance putter through dd
12. Practice practice practice
13. Become a better putter
That's all that I can think of right now. But I will keep the list going as I think of more. I know some goals seem a little high but it will be fun shooting for it.

2. Practice putting* at least 2-3 times per week.
3. Field practice** at least 1-2 times per week.

*Putting practice means 100+ putts in a session of doing drills and working on various styles (push putt, straddled push putt, scoober/scooby, turbo)

**Field practice means 45 minutes of throwing discs with a specific goal for each session (i.e. form diagnosis, accuracy, developing forehand, etc.)

[Justin Woodall]

I only have one - I'd like to throw a bogey-free round on my home course

 

[mashnut]

I hit most of my goals for this year. I wanted to get to 300 courses played and reviewed, I'm close to 350 on both. I was aiming for a rating over 900 by the end of the year, I should make that with the next update. I didn't get to as many new states as I hoped this year, so I'm at 22 with my goal at 25. I hoped to improve my distance, and I definitely did, I was struggling to throw 340' at the beginning of the year, and now I can often throw a little over 400'.

Goals for 2011:
1. Rating over 915
2. 500 courses played and reviewed
3. 30 states played
4. Make time to practice putting, and improve consistency

 

[harr0140]

Goals for 2011:
1. blah blah blah
2. 500 courses played and reviewed
3. blah blah blah
4. blah blah blah

I am throwing in the white towel I will continue to play new courses at my own pace, but there is noway in hell I am ever going to catch you. 300 might be a stretch for me at the end of next year, because it is going to take more roadtrips and the closes NEW course to me is already 60 miles away.

It is awe inspiring! for a course whote like myself!

 

[jtbingster]

Wow I'm sad now. I've only played one course (2 by this weekend). How do you do all that?

Sorry for spamming the thread.

It's definitely getting harder for us to play new courses, we don't have many within a couple hours any more, so I'm not expecting another 200 course year like 2010 until we move somewhere new that has a bunch of courses. We do already have a couple trips tentatively planned though to get to some new places next year, already looking forward to it.

 

[bikinjack]

If I remember correctly, the main DG goal I set for myself for 2010 was 365 rounds played, and I've already got that one.

For 2011, I want to hit 400'. I can occasionally get one out to 350' now. My biggest goal for 2011, though is to get our new course in the ground.
