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.

    • I think it’s more about conservation of angular momentum. If the hands didn’t slow down you wouldn’t release it and the clubhead would barely be moving faster than the hands. The hands start pulling up and back as you near impact, which makes the club rotate around its own CoM as well as rotating around the system, which makes it move faster, which as you noted is the idea.    You can watch all this happen if you find a YouTube video of a pro golfer face on and go frame by frame you can measure on your screen how far each piece moves per frame. As those distances change that’s acceleration and deceleration. You’ll see the hands slowing down and the clubhead speeding up
    • I see, so it must have to do with the shaft being flexible and bending as you swing it. 
    • The hands have to slow down to get maximum club head speed at impact. They are essentially braking to crack the whip so to speak.
    • Mickelson explains that. He only does when he needs to hit a chip with hook spin. His demonstration was very good.
