New Year Resolution
 
Anybody on here make them?

Keep them?

If so, what's your 2013 resolution going to be?

I flirted with not smoking but that's just stupid. I'm considering a takeaway / delivery ban, but that's just stupid too.

I think it's going to be something nice like playing more golf. Not sure yet though.

Maybe it's going to be money related.

Get a job that means I don't dread Sundays...
Appreciate my wife and kids more...
Stick to the workout plan and lose 5 more kg...
Get golf handicap to a playable 10-12...

All of which I feel are achievable and realistic.

Not a resolution as such but going back onto my healthy eating lifestyle as it has gone a bit off track during the last month or two.

How will you get the handicap down a couple more shots? Just by playing more?

Practise makes a massive difference. A couple of hrs week at the range hitting balls, chpping and putting weeks really helps bring the score down.

But yep basically playing more and better course management i.e remembering that when I'm in the cack I am not Tiger Woods and cannot hit a draw with a three wood 270 yards to protected green.....

Watch a Greg Norman thing on my flight back here last night. Said he spent 35%+ of his time chipping/pitching from 80yds and closer.

Driving for show, putting for pro/dough.

The only thing I never bother with before tee-time is putting. The putting greens are never the same as the acutal greens.

Lose some weight

Focus more, so I can fit some extra things into my work life

I may have accidentally quit smoking alread. Had one since 20/12, mainly through being unwell and staying home, but had a low key brunch with friends on Friday and didn't want to smoke then either. Question is can I keep it up? Hanging around smokers in bars is always my downfall.

Have a couple of holidays.

Frankly, at the rate of trolls on here, and uncalled for attacks, I may make a resolution to stop posting on BE.

I'm always interested to see what people send in an offensive PM.

I also don't really get the point. If I received one I'd be tempted to just post it for all to see.
