Thanks. The way I see it, it's important to have short-term goals. I think golf *begins* with being able to strike the ball reliably. So my first goal is to play 18 holes without actually duffing any shots. I figure that'll get me to about 100. Then it's about figuring out the *right* shot, improving accuracy and distance control, etc. But now I'm still in the pre-golf phase. Hoping to graduate soon.
