Ahhh, 42 yesterday, 41 today! I'm hoping to break 40 for the first time ever, and quite soon! My swing feels amazing, but I three-putted twice today and could not make anything within 10 feet. :(
I feel that if I keep at it, I'll see a good ol' 38 or 39 on my scorecard very soon!

work on your distance control with your putter and you will soon be in the 30s.

I am hoping to break the same threshold. Don't let that looming number make you tense. Focus on every shot individually.

Same here. The best nine I have shot is a 42, but I think I can break that this summer.

Carl, since you and have the same handicap, we should make it a bet. Whoever breaks 40 first this summer buys the other a sleeve of balls of their choice.

Hmmm. Never played a match (so to speak) over the interwebs.

Its good to have goals, but dont create a mental hurdle so large that it makes it difficult for you to jump over. Just let the force floooooow.

We've all been there, plugged. Don't get too distraught.

My first match of the season is at the Ace Club (where the Exelon Invitational is held), which is one of the toughest courses I've played. I'm looking forward to playing a beautiful course, but at the same time, I'm rather intimidated by its length and difficulty. I guess this is where playing "smart golf" comes into play.

I would have had a 39 if not for a few missed 3 footers and a double bogey resulting from putting my tee shot in the water on a 3 par.

I have posted three 44's, but cannot seem to combine it with a second <45 to break 90. I have 44-50, 48-44 and 50-44....

It's killing me.

zapppa I know what you mean... all my rounds have been 45-40 type rounds thus far.
the last two saturdays i have shot 42-37 and 41-36, and the front is certainly not tougher than the back.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
