Quite the roller coaster of a season. At least I reached one of my goals to lower my index this year, although that wasn't quite how I envisioned it.

My graph looks like the above every year.    Spring rust climb.....then followed by summer improvement as I 'shake off' the winter rust.

For the first time, my index stayed the same.   I'm winding down golf and busy with other activities in the fall.   Doubt I'll play much except for the occasional round until next spring.  Days are getting short and frost season is right around the corner!!!

Here's my story.....I have a tendency to slip during the winter months......and this year I have not been able to recover as much as I have in year's past.  I have a new driver shaft and a 4* gap from 5 thru LW.....Now if I can just figure out how to lower my scores.....


26.6 to 25.5 I was hoping for a bigger move but I've been fairly consistent lately, it is clearly time to focus on the short game.

Unfortunately can't play today but had a decent run last couple weeks, will be 6.9 in AM. I have quite a few low scores getting ready to be pushed out so work to be done. Hopefully I don't put up some marginal scores that creep into 10 best and get derailed by bad weather with no chance to even it out before season ends. Lucky our course isn't aerating greens this fall, they are in great shape so golf into colder temps should be good.

I don't have an official handicap.   I use Golflogix and since I don't play in any tournaments, it works for me.   In our league play, our secretary used an online program called IMA Golfer and that kept track of our scores and handicaps.   It was different than what Golflogix reports.

Went down from a 10.7 to a 10.0. Only 1 of my next 7 scores to come off count towards my handicap, so I should be able to get into the single digits very soon (hopefully in 15 days).

Virtually no change.   Went from 17.2 to 17.3.   My playing level trend is flat.   I.e, my practice & round result seem to accurately reflect the current HI.

Up .5 had a couple bad round and didn't play much otherwise. Getting to be that time of year where I go dormant due to colder temperatures and higher winds.

Down .2 to 17.8.

Not looking good for next revision, my three best scores of recent 20 are round numbers 16, 18 and 20, with Diff's of 14.6, 16.9, and 14.6.  Those will all fall off by the next revision.  Unless I can replace them with something good, but I've been playing poorly lately.

Back up over 10, to 10.4 from 9.6: a couple of rounds in the 70s fell out and were replaced by... let's just say, worse...

25.5 to 22.6 due in large part to the 86 I shot on the 30th just before the update, still on track to break 20 by the end of the year.

Down from 1.2 to 0.9..........

Now that days are getting shorter and the mornings colder and later...............it's bowling season.  I plan to keep playing golf when I can, but my son has several tourneys coming up and my golf-play will be taking the back seat.  My son will be bowling in several youth competitions and we'll be rolling the rock when he isn't..........this comes first.   This was a good way to finish!!...cracking the ZERO's!!

    • So far, it's looking pretty even.  The first weekend (the one in May) is probably out, but the others all seem to work in general.  I'll give it until the end of a week for votes and then pick one.
    • Day 181 - 2025-03-30 Got a little work in while the kids were playing their final round(s). Then drove for awhile. I-95 sucks.
    • Day 8: 3/30/25 After some poor putting yesterday I worked on some distance control drills today along with putting through 50 mm gates.
    • So I am aware that "the committee is allowed to set its own standards of player conduct in a code of conduct adopted as a local rule" (rule 1.2b) I also understand that there are some aspects that are allowed to be entered, and some that are not allowed.  My question specifically is: In which form does this code of conduct need to be available? Is it enough for someone to say "that's part of our code of conduct", or is it a requirement, that the code of conduct is in written form? Also, is there a need that the local rule points to the code of conduct in any way?   For better understanding: I'm playing competition and the next course that we play has a "no smoking policy". I don't have a problem with it, as I don't smoke anyway, but one of my team-mates does, and someone told him "You'll get disqualified if you smoke on the course".   Now I have looked at their local rules and there is no reference to a "code of conduct". I'm not sure if they even have an official "code of conduct" that states that smoking is not allowed.   I fully agree that he SHOULD respect this request from the club, but I am wondering if the club would really be allowed to DQ this player for this, if it's not properly documented in their local rules/code of conduct?  This is an official national amateur tournament, so not just something organized by a club for its members.
    • A few months back I purchased the following swing aid on Amazon ($130). It is solidly made of steel and heavy and stable in use. I use it both at the range and at home. Swing Plate Dual PRO by Jamie Brittain - Swing Analyzer Aid - Fits Standard 8mm Alignment Rod Sticks - Teaching Swing Plane Perfector - Indoor/Outdoor Golfing Practice. This winter I set a goal for myself to improve my backswing/downswing to be more consistent and on plane. I had a two way miss with my approach shots this past golf season. I have a hitting set-up in my garage, but I needed something to provide feedback while swinging the club. I came across the Swing Plate while browsing YouTube.   I set it up with the correct angles for my 8 iron. I started out with just the back rod in place, which prevents me from getting too far inside on the backswing. Started out slow and as I got comfortable increased my swing speed. Now I also came across a YouTube video on building a better backswing and getting more width in the backswing and added that to my practice. That video is here:    This video is a bit wordy since you are basically a fly on the wall as Ian gets a lesson. It took a few replays to be able to get the substance of the instruction. It was well worth the effort. Over the last two weeks I have been able to get out on the course and gauge how successful my practice has been. Overall, my consistency with approach shots has improved greatly. Incorporating the added width in my swing has also added a few yards to all my clubs.  What has your off-season training been like?
