Hi, my name is Kevin, and Going For Par is a blog about my journey in the game of golf.
Around May 2009, at the age of 29, I decided I was tired of playing golf as a 30-handicapper and took a more serious approach to playing, learning, and improving my golf game. Prior to that time, I played maybe once every few months or maybe several times a year. In fact, by July 2009 I probably played more rounds in two months than I had in my entire life up to that point.
I took some lessons for the first time in August 2009 and decided to set a goal of playing one round of golf at par or better by the end of the year. I achieved that goal.
While I’ve achieved my original goal of “going for par”, I’m continuing to journal my trials, tribulations, and progress as I strive to achieve new goals in this mentally and physically challenging game of golf.
