I started playing in August and I am now playing hcp 25.
I have so many bad shots still, that I just did not yet focus on at all or have not practiced much.... (everything inside 150 feet)
There is a lot room for improvement and stroke saving.

Realistically I think I can get down to maybe 10 - 12.

Ask me again next september.

3H: Idea Pro Gold 20°4H: 2008 Burner Rescue 22°Irons: MP52 R300 5-PWedges: Vokey SM 50.08, 54.11, 58.04, 60.11Putter: Itsy Bitsy SpiderBall: TP Red

Great question!

I'm 7.2 at present. Target for this year is below 5.5. Ultimately I believe I can get to scratch.

Currently I have three young kids but slowly I'm becoming able to increase my golf time and as the next few years pass I shoud get back to playing 2-3 rounds per week.

I'm 30 this year and my lifetime golf goal is to be good enough to play in the British Open qualifier for which you must be scratch. If I achieve this I'd love to have a go at turning pro for the UK seniors tour... (You have to have big goals!!!)

Short game improvement and increased consistancy from the tee are the keys for me in '09.

I believe I can easily get to a single digit handicap. I know my faults and what is causing me to still be in the 14-18hdcp range and have been working on those things.

I think I can get into low single digits (possibly 4 or 5). I've been playing for only about 18 months, and I've lowered my handicap to 13. But I'm really going to focus on school.

    • First going to spain for a long weekend in March probably going to play La Quinta, Los Arqueros and Fina Cortesin, and first week in May will compete in the Crawsnest Tassie at Carnoustie golf links, that will be a full week of golf golf golf and more golf. Did play it last year for the first time and it is awesome.
    • Scrubs is coming back to ABC. February 25.
    • Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well. 
    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
