I don't have a handicap index, which I need, but I shoot low 80's and shot +1 back-to-back days. I made varsity as a sophomore and finished as the #3 man, behind 2 seniors.

"I'm 8 and I have a handicap of 0.6!"

But whatever, the internet drops your handicap 10, and makes your drives 30 yards further...

It's kind of weird how kids so young supposedly have handicaps of under 15 too. It's possible, but you really don't see it as often as this thread has.

"I'm 8 and I have a handicap of 0.6!"

What's with the animosity? So what, kids have low handicaps. I am 15 and have been playing for a year and my Index fluctuates between 10 and 12. Have you noticed that all of the kids here with lower handicaps all say they are at the course everyday, or at least 5-6 days practicing or playing? I myself am at my home course literally every day practicing for at least 2 and a quarter hours, plus I play. Why do we do it? Because we want to get better and to do that we practice, and so our handicaps are lower.
It's kind of weird how kids so young supposedly have handicaps of under 15 too. It's possible, but you really don't see it as often as this thread has.

Then you probably don't live in a place with a deep talent of golf (not that I do). In another thread I started, many of the kids here said that to win any tournaments in their area you need to shoot around par, sometimes even below. What does that show you? Your index needs to be under 15 to be in contention.

15. That's fine. But I feel like I've been seeing kids on here who say they are in like 6th grade shooting 75's.

I'm just tired.

Okay, but the only person that even mentioned 6th grade was GOLFSALOT00 and all he said was he started in 6th grade, so I don't know where you are getting this?

But that's what happens, no joke. Theres a 9-11 year old bracket at the tournaments I play in and usually 78 or so wins. lol, it sounds crazy but it happens.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
