Golfing 2018 - Aim to lose 4 shots off my hcp!

Well, my bucket list of 2016 stated a goal of a max of 15 handicap.  I am so far from achieving that goal in 2018!  What went wrong? I mean I play, I thought I have been practicing.  Last season I was cut 3 shots. 

So either my ambition was unrealistic or the dedication to achieving this goad was vastly underestimated.  I think the latter....

Well,  2018 is going to be the year where I make significant advances towards achieving that goal. 

Here is the aim/plan:

Consistent Bogey Golfer Aim: (the "CBG")

1) No three putts;
2) Hit the Fairway 80% of the time; and
3) No triple bogeys or worse on any hole (not one)!

On my mediocre days:

Score 5 or better on par 4's;
Score 6 or better on par 5's; and
Score 4 or better on par 3's. 

That equals a score of 90.  If I can do this and I will be a CBG!  The aim is to better, but not force myself to do so and then break rule 3 (see above).

Practice Plan:

Go back to basics (month 1):

Week 1 - work on my grip and impact position.  I need to feel the impact position again
Week 2-  work on my weight transition during the back swing to downswing  (step through)
Week 3- work on tempo (Tick-Tock)
Week 4 - Put the last three weeks together. 

The fairways are wet, wet, wet so off to the range to do the drills!

I will report on my progress...
