Like others I played golf many years ago, stopped to take up another sport but have now been back playing golf since March. 

I joined Didsbury Golf Club (UK) in March and have been practicing hard since. My first round for handicap purposes, I shot a 103, then 93 followed by 85. Didsbury is a par 70. So they gave me a handicap of 13, ive only played in comps about 10 times as at the moment I prefer to practice but already im down to a handicap of 11 with a best score of 76 gross..

Although playing golf seems to be as frustrating as ever im enjoying being back and because of my age, golf will be long term for me....

 

Very happy to meet you all....

Welcome to TST. Lots of good folks on here. Alot of good golf knowledge too. 

Frustration come in two forms. One is a good kind of frustration. Where one learns from their mistakes. The other is also known as self pity. The owner of the frustration needs to decide which one applies to them. 

Congrats on quickly dropping your scores. Shows some natural ability for this crazy game. I would expect even lower scores in your future golf journey.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
