Buy a turbine jet, that will get your juices flowing again and pattern flyer's make the best jet flyer's in my opinion.
Seriously though, Troy is correct in setting goals for the season to pace you through the year. Whether you're trying to lose weight, learn a new language or place top 3 in sportsman class in July setting short term goals as opposed to one big long term goal 2 years down the road is your best chance at success and more enjoyable in the long run. For me I try to map out 3-4 pattern contests and and 3 scale contests and then I go back 6-8 weeks from each of those dates. For each of those events I ask myself what level of flying do I expect from me and then plan my 6-8 weeks with the most focused practice during the week before the event. The final week leading up I practice on flying relaxed and confident and if there is a maneuver I can't do well I don't worry about it and that is a short term goal for the next contest, not this one. I believe that success in any type of competition but especially competition that is judged, the more relaxed you are before you begin, the greater your confidence when actually performing and the less likely you are to let one mistake set the tone. We've all been down the road where we blew the first or second maneuver and then continued on to make a mess of the rest of the pattern because of it.
Oh, and about that golfing idea,... I was a golf pro for a couple of years and chased that little white ball around for quite a few years. I gave it up 6 years ago and took up building and flying model airplanes and haven't looked back since nor have I had the slightest inclination to pick up my clubs and play a round. Even thought about selling them on ebay the other day. Jim
