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.

I’ve dropped my handicap from a 5.0 at the beginning of this year to a 3.3 with tournament golf (crazy, I know)! This weekend at Virtues Golf Club I shot 81 which had me tied for 2nd, 3 strokes back o

I finally have a legitimate handicap index (at least I believe so). I've been posting all rounds that were compliant and finally have 5 for the season. It will go up as I continue to post because

Down to a 2.7 thanks to some good tournament scores recently. In fact 9 of the 10 scores that count for my handicap have the tournament "T" beside them.

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.

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.

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.

      My Swing (Strawberryburst)

      By StrawberryBurst · Posted

      My handicap has dropped from 16 start of last year to 9.9-10.0 this year. I had monthly coaching last year - which did help a ton but I always had the feeling deep down they were just applying band aids and temporary fixes to keep me going. My handicap has probably dropped through a combination of those plasters and playing more over the last year rather than any sustainable improvement. Which kind of annoys me that I have somewhat wasted that money but at the same time - I did reach my goal. The more the year went on the more I realised that we weren't really addressing the key issues (which I think I have a good grasp on) - just throwing different feels and different positions around until something that worked temporarily for a month and rinse and repeat. There was even one session where I actively chased another feel just to tick me over an upcoming golf trip - the feel didn't work. I'm no longer getting coaching as it became unaffordable this year due to a severe price hike but truthfully I wasn't really fancying another year of band aids. I've probably exhausted most of the coaches in my area at this point over the last 5 years but it seems to me nobody wants to, or has been able to address the root problems. My main goal was always to get the handicap down to 9/10 range as I knew I was capable and hey I did it. I started this year off pretty hot scoring wise including a personal best round where my timing must have been impeccable as my ball striking was unreal that day. I am now trending in the wrong direction again because my ball striking is genuinely atrocious - it varies from heel to toe, from bottom groove to top groove.  I can manipulate shape by setting up super closed or super open but ask me to hit a straight golf ball it's never going to happen.  As I say, currently a bit of a crossroads with golf and I find myself asking where do I want to go with golf from here - do I want to continue to float around in the low 10's handicap just searching for feels that work for a month or so then begin to fall apart again? Or do I want to seriously explore addressing the root problems with my golf swing and ball striking to take me to that next level? My biggest issue is my ball striking. It's terrible, not to be harsh on myself as I can obviously move the ball around a golf course but until my ball striking seriously improves my scores are never going to drop. And I don't want band aids or temporary fixes - I want to know what is causing the poor ball striking, what is the root cause and what is just a symptom, is it fixable and if so what is that going to take in terms of effort, grind, money etc, am I even physically capable of making a proper golf swing and so on. Many questions which I will hopefully get the answers to. The more I had coaching last year the more I've had lessons over the years I've always had this lingering thought deep down that I don't turn/pivot properly in the backswing and that might be the root cause - but maybe I'm wrong of course.
