Below you'll find my last four years of golf scores graphed out. Because I'm no where near being a scratch golfer, I've netted my scores against bogey golf. That is, I've taken 18 shots off each score. So for example, if I shot a 90 on a part 72, my net plot below would be 0. Or if I shot an 80 on a par 71 (which I did last year by the way), my net plot would be a -9. I do this because my goal is to simply shoot bogey golf every time out.

You'll also notice that I've added in a trend line for 2007. I didn't do 2006, 2005 or 2004 because when adding them the graph starts to look like my cluttered room at home. But what I found interesting is in each year, my trendline's slope is negative. That means that as the year goes on, I continue to get better.

Also notice how 2007 is better than 2006. While it's not real clear, I'm pretty sure we're seeing better results (i.e. lower scores) every year. I'm hopeful 2008 will be even lower!
