I just try to get as good as I possibly can. No point in doing anything else...esp. considering how much I love golf and how good, I feel, I can be.

If I had less time it would be: how good I can get considering how much time I have to give to golf.

I mean....lots of people dream about doing this or doing that...being pro....hell I think about that sometimes.....why not.....but for me it's more about being as good as I can rather than a hard-assed specific GOAL. Get as good as you can see how far it can take you....if it's to a 5 hdcp good stuff.....if it's scratch and club champ....good stuff.....if it's to the tour....hell yes good stuff. Either way you're as good as you can be.

Maybe you need that specific goal for extra motivation...but that's never been an issue for me.

Improve or nothing IMO....

I dunno how ppl can say "Well I just want to have fun....." Esp. the ones who are out there quite a bit. To me, playing well is what fun is all about. I don't have fun when I'm hacking it up all over the place....good god....all that does is piss me off (rargrgAARGrHAGRHGrhgr! like this).

I mean, I guess I can understand having a good time with your buddies on the course, etc.....and also can def. understand not going to the range all the time, etc. (although everyone who plays fairly avidly or seriously should go once in a while)....I dunno....I still want to be good tho.

...lol I'm honestly not a big try hard or a hardass either....or bigtime hothead (when I lose, etc.)....I just want to be good....that's how I have my fun.

I dunno....if I'm playing a sport I want to be good.....no point otherwise.....have fun of course....don't be a bad loser....be your on your best aside from the game itself.....but man....you've gotta want to play well.
