Okay, a bit earlier than previous years, but I committed I would follow-up with the results as to how I fared against my 2019 goals (Posted on this forum on Dec. 31 in 2018):
1. 10 sub-80 rounds vs. 2 in 2018 (5 this year)
2. 5 Eagles vs. 1 in 2018 (1 this year)
3. My first hole-in-one (Still waiting FFS)
4. Improve GIR from 22% to 40% (Up to 33% this year)
5. Improve GIR Putting from 1.9 to my overall avg. of 1.7 (No change - Almost idential putting stats in 2019, 2018 and 2017)
Overall, 2019 was a significant improvement in Fairways hit and GIR, although my 'Eagle count' was the same as last year, I actually had 7 legit chances for Eagle and my Birdie count increased exponentially. My scoring average went down, and my handicap went from 11.7 this year vs. 14 in 2018 - Finally, I won my league's 'Order of Merit', reflecting a win for the overall season and raising my level of consistency significantly.
Changing things up a bit for 2020 - My goals next year:
How did YOU do against your goals, and are they likely to change in 2020 with any new objectives? I've linked the original thread below for those that participated:
Happy 'Early' New Year!!

- Improve Ball Striking - More than 33% GIR
- Reduce Average Score - Below 83.7
- Reduce Handicap - Below 11.7
