No change for me this time (4.8 still) however there will likely be some volatility for next time.  I'm playing at least 3 or 4 rounds before April 1 (two of them are big tournaments).

Good luck in the tournaments!  We're starting our interclub season with A-Team matches, played at scratch from the back tees.  The forecast for Sunday, 46 degrees, 50% chance of rain.  I love it.

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.

Way to go Dave, are you playing yourself off the B-Team at Stoneleigh and onto the A-Team?

Me playing A Team has more to do with the scarcity of good players here, and less to do with my actual ability.  On the other hand, I can go about another 0.8 down and still be able to play B-Team.  We'll see how the spring goes.

Oh don't sell yourself short, but I thought 4.6 was the limit.

No, it used to be that 4.9 was the limit.  That was changed at least 5 years ago, you have to be at least 5 on the course.  With most of the slopes in the league, that makes the lower limit to be about 3.7 or 3.8, I forget which.

Last go around I rose to "8,0" and my trend index is over "9.0"  Getting ready for the "Net" tournament season!!  I just wish it wasn't so painful playing all the shitty golf that serves as the basis for the rising index.   :facepalm

We often see handicaps going up in the spring.  After a long layoff, and temps are cold, and the courses may not be in the best shape, its easy to play kind of poorly for a while.  But the game eventually comes back.

I only have one official round in this year.  It was too high to be used for my index calculation and the score that dropped off was not being used either.  So I am still the same as last fall,  29.5.

As of right now, mine is not current. I ended last year in the high 4's, but I am willing to guess that at the moment, it's probably at least double that. This has been my first day swinging in about 6 months so after a few weeks of range I'm hoping to pick up where I left off.

I usually start my "official season" around the middle of May when college is out and I have had time to shake the cob webs off. Not to mention, trying to keep a honest handicap on aerated greens can be infuriating.

Let it Fly

This year is my first time ever playing in a men's club and keeping an official handicap (5th year playing).  Handicap index came in at 14.6 after last week's revision.  I've learned two things very quickly so far:

1.  Real golf is HARD - no gimmes/no rollovers or fluffed up lies/stroke & distance penalties/etc is a real grind over 18 holes

2.  I'm not as good as I thought I was.  The adjustment from "Gentlemen's Golf" has been tough, but the higher-than-I'm-used-to scores oddly feel better knowing they actually mean something...and will help me become a better player in the long run.

      Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.

      Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By pganapathy ·

      I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
