No way I'll keep all these, but I'll try to keep at least one:

1) get new irons....the ones I have from 1989 are probably close to their allotment of good shots

2) take my first lesson(s) ever, see if maybe there's some way I can reduce the amount of bend in my back at and after impact as that's gotta do some damage at some point and is surely the source of some of my cruddier shots as well

3) practice once in a while.  Even just once a month rather than once every couple of years...

4) play in a GCA outing of some sort this year so I can meet a few of the people here; it would be a new experience to play with people who think about strategy and architecture more than I do instead of looking at me like I'm speaking Chinese

5) if I do 4, offer to give some free (well, in exchange for a beer or two ;)) lessons to some GCAers on playing out of the sand as it sounds like it is a common problem
My hovercraft is full of eels.

I don't have to improve much, I just need to play with Bill McBride more often.

ditto ;D
Live Jupiter, Fl, was  4 handicap, played top 100 US, top 75 World. Great memories, no longer play, 4 back surgeries. I don't miss a lot of things about golf, life is simpler with out it. I miss my 60 degree wedge shots, don't miss nasty weather, icing, back spasms. Last course I played was Augusta

1. Get putts to the whole.  This is not going to be another year of the lag.

2. Practice more.  OK practice period.  Especially on point one.

3. Confidence.

I can't hit balls anymore as age and physical aliments have taken their toll, but when I could, I used to get to the course about an hour before I played and spend 45 minutes in the sand trap/chipping/pitching/putting area and then hit full shots for only about 5 minutes.

I improved my tee to green game only after I found a teacher, not Hank Haney who I discovered before Tiger, who really explained to me my swing and what the club face looked like at impact.

When that happened, we got to work with working with my swing and not changing it, but understanding it and its limitations.
