With another golf season only a few days away, here are some resolutions from the major players and performers in the game:
Tiger Woods: I resolve to not seize the Grand Slam … at Denny's, that is.
John Daly: Did someone mention Denny's? Just kidding. I resolve to lose weight and win tournaments. Hey, can I turn that into a song?
Phil Mickelson: I resolve to hit a straight drive on the 72nd hole of a tournament I'm leading by one shot … right, Butch?
Jim Furyk: I resolve to finally stop backing away from a putt to take one final look.
Michelle Wie: I resolve to quit calling my golf game a "work in progress." That's what they teach you at Stanford.
Bill Clinton: I resolve not to take any more mulligans … unless, of course, I need one following the 2008 election.
Rory Sabbatini: I resolve not to say Tiger Woods is beatable … well, at least, not by me.
Sergio Garcia: I resolve to finally grow up and behave like my fellow Spaniard, Seve Ballesteros. OK, I'm sure I can come up with a better example.
Adam Scott: I resolve to live up to my potential and be a real factor in the majors.
Charles Howell III: I second what Adam said.
Justin Rose: That goes for me, too.
Zack Johnson: I resolve to win outside the state of Georgia.
David Duval: I resolve to win anywhere.
Woody Austin: I resolve to seek fashion advice from Ian Poulter.
Ian Poulter: I resolve not to give fashion advice to Woody Austin.
Dottie Pepper: I resolve not to make any derogatory comments about the U.S. Solheim Cup team. (Editor's note: the next Solheim Cup will take place in 2009)
Johnny Miller: I resolve not to make any derogatory comments about anyone … yeah, right.
Vijay Singh: I resolve to finally get my butt on the range.
Greg Norman: I resolve to give a much-needed boost to the Champions Tour by playing in at least five tournaments.
Tom Watson: I resolve to finally win the U.S. Senior Open.
Tim Finchem: I resolve to reduce the number of players eligible for the FedExCup playoffs.
Annika Sorenstam: I resolve to challenge Lorena Ochoa for the top position on the LPGA Tour.
Lorena Ochoa: I resolve to make sure Annika doesn't get her way.
Suzann Pettersen: I resolve to make sure Lorena and Annika don't forget about me.
Laura Davies: I resolve to earn enough points to make it into the LPGA Hall of Fame.
Ernie Els: I resolve to reclaim my spot among the game's elite.
Retief Goosen: I go along with Ernie.
U.S. Ryder Cup team: We resolve to win the Cup for the first time since 1999 … or at least play some awesome ping pong.
European Ryder Cup team: We resolve to miss a few putts on purpose to give the Americans the illusion they can beat us.
Jack Nicklaus: I resolve to join Arnold Palmer as an honorary starter at the Masters.
