My goal this year was to move into single numbers with my handicap. I joined a new golf course that was 18 holes and a little more difficult(128 slope from the blues) plus got new clubs.

My score reposted while I was on vacation last week and it was a 9.5:) That doesn't take into account a couple of other low scores including a 2 under 70. My next goal is to get under 5 by next year at this time.

Congratulations! Great feeling to move into single-digits. Now keep it there ... !

BTW -- a gross 2-under is pretty darm spectacular for a 10 handicap. Many 3-5 handicappers struggle to shoot under par - nice work!

It's a pretty easy course. A 9-hole track that measures 2836 yards with a slope of 95. The par fives are both reachable in two measuring 460 and 420. I shot 37 on the front and got hot on the back with three birds and no bogeys. It was still pretty cool though, my first round under par. I have shot 72 at that course 3 times with one of them coming in the club championship last year. 77 is my best score on any other course.

Congratulations. It is my goal to get to a single digit as well. Unfortunately, my handicap has gone up from a 10 to a 10.8. I am playing better though but it is in best ball tournaments so I haven't been entering scores.

    • Day 4, 1/2/26.  Played 18 today;  didn't get a chance to warm up (had I known the range was closed, I'd have hit balls at home first).  Played okay, 92 with three balls in the water.  It was raining for more than half the round and I didn't quite appreciate before today just how much I benefit from roll on both drives and approach shots.  I did not adapt well to this change until about hole 15, which is something I have to figure out.  
    • Day 143 1-2 Arch wrist in downswing. Having a SLIGHT cup in the lead wrist at the top now. Only paused swings with some rehearsals before swinging at ball.  Used foam ball. 
    • Day 459 - 2026-01-02 Had two guys on GEARS Hybrid, so I hopped on afterward (I'm going to do this a lot more often now). So… I've signed myself up for another month of backswing work in two ways: A little more extension of the trail elbow (got into the upper 90s) Less pelvis turn (low 50s).
    • Day 31 (2 Jan 26) - Usual Friday men’s group shootout - good day of shot making  as most shots were right on line to the target point.  Putter and green reads were solid with some great par saves and a really tricky birdie.  
    • Day 13 - 2026-01-02 One hour short game work. Chipping balls to different targets, compass putting drill with 2-3% slope.
