Going down. Trending from 23 to 22 at the moment. Started the year at 21, hoping to get into the teens, but I've gone the wrong way for most of the season until recently.

Decreasing at a slow rate.

Getting better each time out.

Started the season off at 25.3, it's 21.1 now. Definitely improving; now to just finish off buying my clubs and getting them lengthened!

2013 Goal:

 

Single digit handicap


I'm so glad to see 80% of poll and 100% who replied said their handicap is decreasing. I guess visiting thesandtrap.com is correlated with getting better at this game.

Mine is just fluxuating. After my last round it is trending up by .3. We shall see on the next revision. Have been between 10.8 and 11.4 this season.

Mine needs to go down to the 15s...

    • Show the stats or give a convincing argument. Just because you said it is not enough argument. An even at that distance and with a disadvantage in dispersion I think that missing short/long is better than left/rigth.  So? One.. he said this in a world were statistics weren't a thing yet and also he was talking about real golf, not and invented trhead where you need to decide if it's better to be straigth or really (insert here world that describe that you hit the ball exactly the distance you want)     #1 Give me putting yips. My home course have 90% OB left.   
    • I listened to the first one. It's interesting to hear you guys talk about this stuff. This one seemed to be aimed more at instructors than pupils. I'd love to hear one that's about something like how to be a good student or what sort of questions should students be asking in lessons. Aside from anything else there are a lot more people taking lessons than giving them so you'll reach a broader audience that way. As to the how to handle shorter lessons, it seems that you'd have to block off the longest possible lesson time and then cut them short as you can. That means more time twiddling your thumbs and less time teaching though unless you have people on standby, but I can't imagine that ever happens.
    • Some Lorem Ipsum going on there for a day or so 😄
    • Let me start by saying I've never had "The Yips". But I have suffered from brutal snap hook off the tee syndrome. I once entered a tournament in which I went in feeling pretty good about my game. Then I snap hooked the very first tee shot. (I didn't see it coming. No snap hooks during warm up on the range.) After that, I couldn't stop snap hooking the entire tournament. That was like 15-20 years ago and I have golf friends who to this day make fun of me for how I played in that tournament. Conversely, a buddy of ours once had the worse case of the yips I've ever seen in a tournament. Everyone felt sorry for him.  My point is in my experience you get the snap hooks you get made fun of. You get the yips you get sympathy. 
    • All of them 🤣 Probably most backswing stuff is a matter of willpower.  Downswing might be much less so. Probably due to how little time there is to make an adjustment. Maybe stuff like when to weight shift. Though, physical limitations are very tough to use willpower. If your left hip is messed up, I doubt you can use willpower to use the left side the way you should.  Off the top of my head.  1) Pre-shot routine 2) Putting stroke 3) Game planning, sticking to a plan
