What Are Your Goals for the 2026 Golf Season?

Break 80 at a Team Titleist event. New courses, unfamiliarity with greens and usually focused on having a good time have kept me short of this goal in the past.
This might be the year to change....
Enjoy the journey!

Not sure what my goals are this year. Perhaps catch a round or two with my son as it’s been some time. Lower the handicap? Certainly play new courses and destinations that I have always wanted to go to.

Generally have more fun being out on course, I don’t need to take it as seriously as I once did. My window has closed where I could contend in big amateur events.

Last year was the first year I started to shoot par or close to par. My main goals for 2026 are to be more consistent (especially off the tee), dial in my short game, and consistently shoot par. Extra credit if I can shoot under par!!

Just one goal for this year. Get my back strong enough to play again. I was able to hit 6 half swing shots yesterday without any pain. Hoping for a full swing sometime in February.

I fractured my foot the beginning of June after just 10 rounds...Needless to say my season was over before it really began. Started swinging a club back in December but at that point it was too late. So my goal for 2026 is make up all the rounds I missed in 2025 on top of my 30 round goal this year.

Great question...after having a golf buddy pass away from cancer this past year...my goals for 2026 are to enjoy each round like it's my last and to stay healthy! Have a great season everyone!!!

After a rough 2025, index went up about 1.5. Improve consistency out of green side bunkers and improve putting. That should get me back down to where I want to be. Now that I am retired, I was able to join the men's league this year. My goal is to win our division.

At 64, trying to maintain my distance and skill level (finished last season at an index of 5.8). Not let my ego get in the way of playing the correct set of tees to score well! As always, a lot of short game and puttting practice. Staying fit so I can continue to walk 18 holes every round.

After struggling through all the swing and equipment changes over the last 3 years, I am finally getting to a good place in my game. I want to see more consistency and much more boring golf in 2026. I want to get my handicap back down to single digits before the end of the year.

2026 goals for me are to play more rounds with my son - he's caught the bug, improve putting consistency, and finish in the top 10 of the club championship. In 2025 I was able to get my handicap down to 2.5, and while I would love for that to say 0.0 my handicap will take care of itself if I can improve consistency from tee to green, especially with an iron in hand. Wishing you all achieve your goals this season.

My goals are: 1) Improve my mobility
2) Be consistent with strength & STACK workouts
3) Get a chipping/pitching lesson and practice at least once a week
4) Play in the Skyview (Asheville NC) and other tournaments.
5) Travel to the Titleist ball factory in Massachusetts or to the the Pinehurst Titleist store
6) Get a Titleist wedge and fall fitting
7) Play 10 courses I've never played before
8) Contribute in same way to The First Tee or other junior golf organization
9) Donate all clubs that are not in use
10) Finally remember to put on sunscreen

Good luck to all my fellow team members in reaching their goals.

I would add: 11) do a better proofreading my posts and avoid spelling errors.

Goals for 2026: more consistent off the tee, get to a 5 handicap, play new courses, have fun with friends and not take myself to seriously out on the course.

Play more golf and try to remain in health or without injuries.
Also, be conscious that I do not have a length that I had 30 years ago and accept it.

My 2026 goals are to continue to improve my game. Get back to playing a lot more competitive golf ( I took off most of 2025 competitive golf wise because of vertigo ). And certainly hit a few bucket list courses I've been wanting to play. At 68 YO, I want to play those courses while I have reasonable skills.

Play to my potential in competitive rounds. And just some incremental gains in numbers.
1 more green per round
1 less penalty stroke
Take putts per hole down to 1.7 from 1.8

Doing those things should help me squeeze as much as I can out of my hcp
