Setting Our 2026 Golf Goals & More PLUS a 2025 Goal Recap

About this episode

The episode discusses setting golf goals for 2026 while reflecting on the successes and failures of 2025.

Every great golf season starts with a clear golf goals, and in this episode of Must Play: Bonus Round, we’re setting the tone for 2026 while looking back at what actually happened in 2025. Shawn and T.J. sit down to recap 2025's golf goals. The wins, the misses, and the ones that we forgot even existed, before laying out their official 2026 golf goals. We kick things off with a 2025 recap, revisiting the goals we set and being honest about what worked, what didn’t, and why some goals came a bit easier than others. From T.J. trying to break 90 and Shawn's quest to break 70 at Dobson Ranch to playing new courses & spending more time with family on the golf course, this is a real look at how goal setting actually plays out over a full golf season. From there, we shift into planning mode and build our 2026 golf goals from the ground up. We talk about how some of our golf goals just carried over from the 2025 golf season as well as sprinkled in some of our personal goals for the year. This episode isn’t about empty resolutions that we don't plan on achieving, it’s about building golf goals that we'll chase all year long. Whether you’re a single-digit handicap, a weekend golfer, or…
