Going down, but I haven't been able to play as much as I'd like so it's not going down as fast as I'd like.

Mine is trending up slightly as I'm putting in more scores lately at a course with a lower rating and slope. My scores are about the same on any course, so if my actual index depends on where I tee it up.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.


up and down

Started at 2.9, went up as high as a 6.8, back down to a 5.2 and been there for 3-4 weeks or so
trying to get it back down to a 2 or so by the end of the year.......struggling to say the least

Increasing. I took a little break from golf back in the middle of May and not playing is definetly not good for my handicap.

I started playing less forgiving irons two weeks ago. I'm not playing as good as I did with my AP1s but I'm learning to hit the 690.CBs better every round.

My index has been decreasing on a fairly consistent scale the last few months. My April index was a 4.7, then 3.3 in May, 2.7 in June, 2.0 now, and will probably go down to a 1.6 next revision. Hoping I can keep improving like this and be down to a scratch or better by years end. I know its going to be much harder decreasing the index the closer I get to scratch, but I feel like I've finally got my ball striking close to where it needs to be, its all in the short game now to get me to the next level. I need to be able to get up and down most times from inside 100 yards and start dropping my putts. Finally realizing now how important practice is to get to that next level.

I don't have an official ghin this year. But I am pretty sure that if I did it would be about the same, maybe a point higher. I just haven't played very well.

April 17th I learned a radical new swing and since then my hcp has dropped from 10.2 to 5.5. I was always told that progress in single digits is not fast but this experience proves it is possible.
