Took a huge jump this month, from 5.4 to 6.5. I hit about a 2 month hot streak earlier this summer, and have cooled off since. The good news is that I don't think my handicap will get much higher than this. I'll probably be back down into the 5s in May or June next year.

Down 1.2 to 14.4, my last two rounds have been well played. Hopefully that continues for the last revision of the year and I can close out 2017 strong.

I floated between a 9 and 10 all year, closed out the season at 9.6.

We’ll see if I get the chance to play & practice a little more next season.  Although all I really care is that it’s low enough to give the state am another go.

Mine is my official USGA HI, I keep one because it’s required in my league. It’s actually a little lower now, but I don’t update my info here every time my HI changes. I expect it will be worse every Spring and lower every Fall anyway.

Up to 9.3 from 8.7 - played my first round last week since November so I hope things will improve in time as I get back into the Daily 5min Challenge and I become intentional about a pre-shot/post-shot routine

Started the year at 21. Currently sitting at 22.4 :/. I really feel like a much better golfer than my handicap indicates. I guess time will tell.

Up to 9.7

I think I've only played a couple of times since last revision, but replaced some upper 70's/low 80's with low 90's.  Oh well.

Association people didn't input my score from Saturday or I'd probably have been up a couple ticks. Unchanged from last year, so far.

With a couple good rounds so far this year I officially dropped into single digits! 9.6!

I have yet to renew my GHIN. I am a little irritated at the direction my association is going. My Game Golf handicap is +1.6 so I guess I will go with that for now until I am finally forced back to GHIN.

handicap has dropped from 23.1 to 22.4. I am playing again next week at my home course, so If I can put together a decent round (not even a great one) I can drop my handicap below 22 again for the first time since January.

Not official as not a member anywhere to put in scores. I use Golf Shot app to calculate, recently having set it to use the US system, which I thought was a better view of where my game was at a point in time.

Im having some lessons now, and my Pro is going to help me get an official Spanish Fed Handicap, then I need to find some tournaments to play in to put in some real scores. I am aiming at playing in a Amateur Handicap tour event at the end of the year, and would like to have some history of rounds played before I go to that, so I can go in and compete at my fair level handicap. I want to win, I am going with all thoughts of winning, but especially to do that with a fair assessment of myself.

Finished last year at 15.4 down from 28. 

 

Opened up this year with my first medal in the 70s with a 76 (five over). A lovely cut off 3.0 down to 12.4.

That was my target for the end of the year so free rolling now all season and hopefully get a few more nice finishes.

8.7 to 9.3 to 9.7 to 10.4 today

Up to 6.7 today. That should be as high as it gets for a while, but we'll see. I've been consistently okay this year so far, and I feel like I'm really close to doing some really good stuff on the course. We will see.

    • I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.

    • I've been putting whilst looking at the hole and it's definitely helped my distance control
