Mine is decreasing. I've gone down by 6 since the start of the year. Granted I still have a lot more to go down.

In my bag:

Nike SQ DYMO 10.5
Big Bertha 3 Wood
Big Bertha 3-10 IADAMS Tom Watson Classic 54,58 and 64 Wedges Nike Oz 5 Putter/Wilson Staff ( not sure model, bought it in second hand store ) Ball: Bridgestone E6


Started the year at around 35 and am now at 14.9 after this past weekend (according to oobgolf)... My goal at the beginning of the year was to shoot a consistent "bogey-ish game". Since i've reached that a little early i'm now shooting for a 10.0 by the end of the year. Still making too many doubles and not enough pars...

note: i've only missed 1 weekend since late december (i play at least a round a weekend).

In my ORG 14 Cart Bag:

Driver: FTI 10 degree
Wood: Big Bertha Diablo 3W
Hybrid: 2i Hi-Bore 4i XLS Hi-BoreIrons: X-22 Tour w/ Project X 6.0 shafts (5-PW)Wedges: CG15 52 and 56Putter: Red XBalls: HX Hot Bites


decreasing...started the year at around an 8 or so, steadily decreasing thanks to a few lessons and course management realizations lol

In my Titleist 2014 9.5" Staff bag:

Cobra Bio+ 9* Matrix White Tie X  - Taylormade SLDR 15* ATTAS 80X - Titleist 910H 19* ATTAS 100X - Taylormade '13 TP MC 4-PW PX 6.5 - Vokey TVD M 50* DG TI X100 - Vokey SM4 55 / Vokey SM5 60* DG TI S400 - Piretti Potenza II 365g


Don't know exactly what year I joined this forum, but my handicap has stayed right at that number for the last couple of years, give or take a .1 or .2. I would be frustrated if it weren't for the fact that I have played some of my best golf the last 2 or 3 years. In years past I would shot in the low 80's but would flirt with a 100 every now and again. The last couple of years I have shot over 90 just a handful of times and have been very consistent in the low 80's.

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?


My HC isn't official but I'd say I'm improving in general. I've only played maybe a dozen rounds in the last two years but have found time to practice a ridiculous amount. So it was hard to tell exactly where I stood. I have broken 80 a number of times starting a few years ago when I played far more often and then just recently. It's always my target now. But I have my eye on lower scores, I actually think I have the game to do it but the proof of the pudding will be in the eating.

im playing worse golf with poorer ball striking but making more pars. the game is uglier but my scores are lower so my hcp is dropping. it also helps that i have grown up and learned that one double doesnt mean the round is trashed, it just means i have to make 2 birdies so i dont get as hard on myself

Still improving although it's getting tougher.

Started playing last May at around a 27hcp
Sept of '09 I was a 20.2
March of '10 I was a 16.2
Last revision was a 13.0, and with a few new scores entered I should be a 12.7 on 7/31 revision.

Still a long way to go, but I just keep trying to identify holes and practice to make them better. I still suck, but I guess the practice is paying off and the game is tightening up little by little.
