Down to a 13.0 index as of the 10/1 revision, which is a new lifetime low for me.

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

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.

There's just something about being a single digit when you're not one - congrats!

Finally made it back under 10, at 9.6, after nearly a year out of single digits, including a 3 months layoff forced by an illness. It feels good!

Thanks! I could have probably added a low round today to add to the mix had I not been in a scramble. I was striking it so well.

Down to a 5.7. I'll probably get another round or two in before the end of the year, but I'm not sure it'll get lower. But still, I've shaved over 3 strokes off my handicap this year. Honestly, I feel like if I had more time to get good practice in, I would be pushing into the 3s. I haven't worked on my full swing very much this year, and I've barely practiced putting or short game.

I posted my last score of the season yesterday so I know what my index will be tomorrow (November 1) until the season reopens again April 1. I opened this season at 8.8 and I will finish at 9.5. I had a generally poor scoring season, reaching a high of 13.3 in July and was trying to work my way back to below 9 but I couldn't make it. Still, I finished strong with my three best scores in the last month. I didn't reach one of my goals of breaking 80, shooting 80 twice, including double bogeying the last hole a couple of weeks ago. Ugh!!!

Nice work. Mine did not change, I shot a couple rounds in the 70s but was playing alone all month long or the course was under maintenance.

Thanks to a swing slump, my HI is up a fraction to 15.6 but still below my 2016 golf goal of 16.

Very nice!

I've been mostly playing "Golf Swing" this year, so I can't vouch for my practice yielding results yet. So no updates here on my index for the year- I think I only scored a couple rounds (if that). Next year!

Spoiler

At the start of the season, i truly thought this was the year for me to actually play a fair amount. Ah, but life got in the way. Here's to a better 2017.

Ended up at 15.6 only up .1 from last revision but also didn't golf much at all. Still pretty happy as I made my realistic goal of a 15's handicap to end the year. Makes me feel optimistic for getting down to my realistic goal of 12ish next year.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
