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 to 5.6 from 6.7 and trending to 5.4

Now I just have to be more consistent.  Although the 72 in the tournament round was nice.

Down to 11.3 from 11.5, which is with a 5.6 differential coming off my handicap. My next 7 scores that come off my handicap currently do not matter to my handicap, so there's a good chance I start coming down fast. If you calculated my handicap with just my scores since August 1, I was a 9.2.

Down to 9.2 from 10. Almost at my handicap when the season started in April at 8.9 and my course handicap is the same (11). Haven't reached my goal of getting my course handicap to single digits but I still have 2 months.

That much reduction by 1/2 month worth of golf?   Or was it for longer period?

I've given up on trying to figure out how handicaps work... I have been shooting around 4 strokes under my average consistently for the last month and the only results I've seen in a .1 INCREASE in my GHIN. Could it be because it's late season or that my best round have come from the same course?

it could relate to which scores were eliminated when you posted the more recent ones, or it could have something to do with the course rating where you play, or who knows what.  Do you want to share your Ghin number, some of us could take a peek and give you some feedback.

4 strokes under your average... but what is that compared to your course handicap?

You need to use your handicap index to calculate your handicap for that particular course.  If you are generally shooting scores at or below your handicap then your index will be going down.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DeadMan ·

      Day 297: putted for about 25 minutes, working on 30 foot putts. Then went and hit balls for about an hour, just focused on getting the ball to go where I want it. Not my best session, but figured it out better at the end.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day (2 May 24) - somehow I missed posting both Tues and Weds practice sessions - so the streak ends and a new one begins…. Focus today was on ball first contact using the Divot Board for reference.   Worked with 7i, 9i and GW hitting hard foam balls.  Started hap hazardly and then settled back into my pre-shot setup.  Much more consistent in the latter.
