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.

Kind of just maintaining at this point. Haven't been able to put together a few good rounds in a row. I feel like my driver is starting to come around. Hoping next months revision drops below 12.

I stop playing in tournaments two years ago and therefore no longer need a handicap. When I played at my best I was a mid single digit with a low of 5.0.

I'm happy with my trend but getting doubtful that the trend will continue:

That is one hell of a trend, down nearly ten shots in a year! Nice improvement.

3.3- 2.9

My lack of recent play will rear it's ugly head soon enough!  I'm not sure if I can continue to trend down.  Only time will tell!!  I surely need to get my head out of my ARSE and play better!!!

I am still not happy AT ALL with how I am striking the ball.   I look like a hack while playing, and score via smoke-n-mirrors.   My montra so far in 2015 is hack the ball in play from the tee......get it near the green.  Chip and putt for par.

8.5 to 7.9, down from 11.0 at the start of the year. Keep expecting it all to fall apart but am quietly optimistic that it might still get better.

I should just put 7- to 8.5 for mine as I tend to never break out of this range:(

I've been a 12.something for over a year now. :(

New best round ever yesterday :-D Shot a 78 (+7) on my homecourse from the tips. Including a +2 on the back nine, which is by far the most difficult nine I play regularly (3490 yards, a lot of water). Handicap to an all time low of 8.4 :banana:

Dropped two strokes from 21.1 to 19.0. Five out of my last six rounds have been in the 80's, including an 88 today which I'm hoping, will drop it a bit more. :-D

7.5  I know this has to stop eventually, hard to imagine getting above 8 but I was a 8.7 3 years ago so I guess anything is possible.

lol, it can happen quickly. I went from 6 to 9.6 in about 8 months last year. Quit for 8 months and very slowly workin it back down. 18 rounds back now and I've only dropped 1.3 points. Seems to increase a lot faster! Hope you have better luck than I did.

Quick question. I use my scorecard.com which provides an official USGA handicap. It shows me at a 19.0 but also shows my trend handicap at 18.0. Anybody know what that means?

In the US, your handicap index is updated on the 1st and the 15th of each month.  The Trend handicap is the index you'd have if the reporting period ends today, or if you don't post any more scores before the new index comes out..  For instance, my official index is 5.1 as of 7/15.  In the two weekends since then, I've played pretty well, and my trend is now 4.4.  If I don't play before Saturday, my index will be 4.4 on August 1.

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      By Shindig · Posted

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
