My goal for 2006 was to bring my handicap into single digits.

Some great spring and early summer rounds brought it down to 8, but mid-season swing changes caused some inconsistency and it went back up to 11 in the fall. I thought I’d missed my mark, but a few good rounds (81, 80, 82) right at the end of the year ended up bringing it back down to 9.

I feel good about the swing changes and short game improvements I made in 2006 – hopefully the snow will melt soon and I can get a few winter rounds in before I get too rusty.
