One good weekend, one poor one, down again to 3.3.  And 73 this morning 

Stop it!

I continue to languish at the same level of abject mediocrity.

Start incurring penalties or something. More rounds in the low 80s, please.

But you can probably wait a few more weeks. You play enough golf that you can play 20 rounds from September until, oh, October 15…

I think I want to sign Natalie up to get a handicap index next year. I bet if I paid the pro at Whispering Woods, he'd just set one up for her.

Yeah I know.  That's the thing about this silly game, it's just a frustrating no matter what you do!

I hit one OB on 18 today for a double, could have been 71, so I'm trying.  This is actually a 2-day stroke play tournament, I'm in the running to make a few bucks

9.3 in defiance of my efforts to increase my handicap by playing horrendous rounds. Funny part today, one of my low rounds was coming off only to be replaced by another the exact same.

Continue to play in the low eighties, 8.7 this revision.

Well.... after 3 rounds of mountain golf at Pole Creek GC near Winter Park, CO, my cap has ballooned back up to the mid 17's.  

[Chriasp]

I just wrote myself down from 32.6 to 26.2 over one 18 hole round. I didn't want to update anything before I had atleast one more round in the same ballpark. 

Felt i wrote myself down too much, and I wasn't sure if I just had a very good round or that I have improved so much since i started playing for 4 weeks ago :)

After blowing the early months of the season trying to sort the shanks, I've been able to play complete rounds and post a decent number of them through June and the first half of July.

The number finally moved on this last revision to a 20.5. Down .9.

[jsgolfer]

Down to 4.1, trending to 3.6

I have not had a official handicap in years and estimated it based on average score over par, for example playing even boogey for 18 would give me an 18 hcp.  After joining this forum this past weekend and reading parts of this thread I thought why not get an official handicap.  I have my scorecards for the year thinking I might want to get this done.  So today I signed up Golf.com and entered all of my scores and putts for the season.  I was surprised at how close I had estimated my handicap and the actual.  I am a 12.4 and current trend is at a 10.4.  My goal has been to get back under 10 again since starting to golf again 3 seasons ago.  The sad part of my game is how erratic it has been.  I have had 2 rounds in the 70's and 2 rounds at 97 and 99.  My last round two Triples (8's) and still shoot an 83. 

I have one Eagle so far this year and left a putt on the lip for a second Eagle. 

So in all of this rambling, thank you TST for somehow pushing me to get a real handicap and since I am a really true stats geek and total club geek I really like all of the stats that the handicap service is giving me.

Here are my goals - get under 10 this season. 

Next goal get to scratch - when I was young I was close and out of frustration with getting to serious I walked away from that goal and then walked away from golf.  With age I now can balance out the ups and downs of this absolutely crazy game.

My ultimate goal is to play in a US Open Qualifying event - just once

You can laugh at me if you want but I left it out there for all to see.  Now I just have to figure out how to turn taped swing from a movie into youtube for TST to review. 

Thank you for letting me join this group

Latest revision brought me down to 9.7 from 10.9.  I had a couple 9 hole rounds in the 37 range and this combined for a 74.  I feel confident I can shoot in the low 80's most of the time but have not shot in the 70's for 18 holes since last summer (79).  Here is my posted score history... I see some of my low scores are my Thursday night 9 hole league.  I have to say I'm not sure how fair it is to use 9 hole scores to calculate since I can keep it together for 9 holes and then blow up on the back nine.  At Qualchan I play the front nine much better but struggle on the back which has a lower slope but doesn't fit my eye very well.  Typical score on the front will be in the 37 to 39 range and on the back 40 to 43... rarely break 40 on the back.  Sometimes the combined scores for Revision purposes will use 2 front nine scores.  I've been working hard on my game and I'm happy with the reduction in handicap but I'm not sure how it's going to translate to tournament results in the next couple weeks.  Time will tell.

Down from a 5.5 to a 5.0.

[David in FL]

Down a bit to 6.1.

It's been quite awhile since I dipped into the 5's.  Highly unlikely now that I mentioned it...
