I think we all want to improve, but go about it differently. I wish on stars and eyelashes, but am not very good about practicing. Lefty has a detailed practice plan and I know others set goals. Basically, I go out and play all the while hoping for the best. I'm very optimistic about golf. What do you do? Are you someone who practices, set goals or just wings it on the course?

When I'm in "full golf mode" (maybe next year) I generally practice more than I play. I get to the range at least twice a week, a putting green at least once a week and I always warm up by hitting balls before a round and I usually hit a post-round bucket to either affirm whatever I did well that day or to address whatever I did poorly.

When I was a true "golf bum", I was practicing at least 4 nights per week (after work until dark) and playing 36 to 72 holes on the weekend. Those days are pretty much over unless of course I can get the numbers on the ping pong balls to match up with the ones on the ticket, in which case I'd be "bumming it" again in very short order.
