Hi all,

I am new to the forums and just thought that I would say hello. I am also fairly new to golf, I have only been playing seriously for the last few months, prior I had played maybe once a year or so.

I decided to take the financial jump and get some decent gear. So far, I have been hitting the driving range to work on my slice, and get myself used to how far I can hit each of my clubs. Last week was the first time I was able to consistently drive without any slice. I took a hit on power, but accuracy is more important I suppose. I am driving consistently over 270y. Sometimes as far as 300y.

My short game is usually where I struggle, so that is where I am going to really concentrate this season. There are several great courses around here, in NJ and out on Long Island as well. Anyone from around here? I am originally from Ontario, Canada and I don't know many people.

What is everyone's opinion on showing up to hitch a round with a group of 3 etc.?

Thanks very much.

Cheers

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      I'll say again… you have a different definition of "temporary" and "speed" than I do. For your handicap to go up FOUR shots means you were through the soft cap and approaching the hard cap. If you did it over 15 rounds (leaving five potentially lower scores), then you played REALLY bad golf over that stretch because it's likely that only three or four of the best of those 15 rounds were actually counted, so if the three or four best scores RAISED your handicap five shots (three at 100%, 2 at 50% once you hit the soft cap), then that's some BAD golf over an extended (not temporary) period of time. And here's the thing… play 15 good rounds, or even just EIGHT, and it'll DROP again, even faster. Handicaps still drop faster than they rise, not only because of the way we calculate it (best 😎 but because of the caps. Right… it's not like you're not needing the shots. You're playing really badly, and your handicap is still lagging behind your play.
