The start of the New Year always compels us to look in advance.

There is nothing like the prospect of a fresh start. Opportunity awaits, likelihood shines brighter and it’s hard to shake the sense that this year might be well-advised b wealthier than the last.

Resolutions will be made – a few might even be fulfilled. We’ll make solemn promises to ourselves. This year we’ll toil harder, study longer, be more neighborly. Of course, this is the year we’ll guarantee to that diet, hit the treadmill and finally drop those 20 extra pounds we’ve been carrying around.

Rinse. Rinse. Repeat.

The truth is, nobody knows what 2012 holds in cumulate. But more than likely, we’ll all be sitting here a year from today, making the same resolutions and looking at the next year with the same impression of potential.

A better use of our time would be spent in reflection of the year that was. And at least in the pages of this sports cleave, 2011 lived up to all the hype. It was a year that saw a number of local teams win splendour championships, two teams achieve perfect seasons, a Lincoln-Sudbury athlete selected in the Serious League Baseball Amateur Draft and, in a moment almost no one saw coming, crowned an unbecoming PGA rookie as one of Golf’s four major champions.
