Realistic Golf Goals to Have in 2025

It may still be the depths of winter, but we're already looking forward to the new golf season, which will be here before you know it, meaning that there is no time like the present to set yourself some realistic targets and ambitions for the campaign to come.

Golfers are typically aspirational creatures, always seeking improvements and fresh experiences, but outlining practical steps to get there is a solid platform from which to accomplish them.

Below, we have put together some reasonable goals that all golfers should have in 2025.

Should you manage to tick each of these off, then you will have had a memorable year of golf!

Play More Rounds Than Last Year

How many rounds of golf did you play in 2024? Whatever the number, your first objective for this season should be to surpass that! Playing more golf is a pathway to happiness, better health, and, hopefully, consistently improved performance. Let's make that your number one goal.

Reduce Your Handicap

Playing more frequently should help this task, but reducing your handicap is always an effective barometer of whether it was a successful year on the golf course. Whether it be taking lessons, practicing more, or making better strategic decisions when playing, shooting lower scores and improving your game is something that all golfers should use as a motivation for the season ahead.

Visit The Driving Range Regularly

Introducing regular range time into your weekly routine is a great way to ensure that your game is in better shape for each round, in addition to giving you something to focus on during those dark nights of winter should you work during the day. With long opening hours and floodlit bays at most facilities, the opportunity is there for you.

Track Your Golf Stats on Golfshake

The Golfshake Score Tracker is a great tool for keeping track of your rounds and statistics, which offers you analysis of your game, benchmarks to achieve, and the ability to see clearly which areas of your game most need to be improved. But the only way to enjoy the benefit is by tracking those stats each time you play golf.

Play a Golf Course For The First Time
