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...

    • 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  
    • Great advice from Newhart. IMO unless there is a serious mechanical flaw most have the ability to will themselves to a consistent tempo.    
    • Be happy Tiger is not playing. 😄 Not that he gets as much attention lately as before, but focus on him has ground a lot of gears through the years.

    • No. EE is almost never a matter of just willpower. Making the changes you need to make — at the right speed, the right way, etc. — can be a matter of willpower. The actual moves involved in EE? No. Most people EE because they must in order to hit the ball with the other stuff they have going on in their swings.
