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.

10.4 right now.  Been injured and have not played well the past 6 months.  Short game is the main problem so going to spend a lot of time working on it the next few months and try to get back down to a 7-8 and go from there.

Stayed at 6.5, just not enough scores to go up or down much with the iffy weather and all.

Talk about consistent, I have been at 8.4 since 11/15/2016.

 

Okay, "out of season" here, so just maybe I am not that consistent.

Im going through the usual "winter" handicap index jump. Up to an 8.9 with isnt really fun. Warmer weather and carts off the path this weekend and things will turn back around quickly. Ill be a 5-6 index in two months.

Haven't updated profile in a while.  Up to 16.6 now from 13.2 :~(.  But with crazy variation.  I don't have near a full 20 yet on the new GHIN profile since rejoining, and really need to roll off a couple of big uglies from last fall.

The swing "rebuild" (I'd probably call it an initial build since my old one was just 25+ years of athletic-ish whacks that changed from day to day) is going great, so I'm really looking forward to a great year.  My all time low is 9.1 (~5 years ago).  May be unrealistic to make it back there in one season, but I'd sure love to get under 12...then go for uncharted territory next season!

My index was static at 9.6 since November 1 since our season was closed. I've posted three scores since April 1 and am now at 9.7. Not unusual for me, as my index always goes up a little the first 3-4 revisions.  but I am determined to stop that trend this year.

Haven't had a round that counts since last fall. Maybe I can swing a club a couple of times, see if I can hit a ball and get something postable before the May 1 revision.

First revision and no change. Only played once and it didn't factor.

Golf life in the midwest! ........it's the same cycle every year.  GHIN shuts down until March1 which doesn't matter because I didn't pick up a club for 4 months during that time period anyway. 

I have 11 rounds posted so far in 2017.   I started the year at 0.8 and the current index is 2.7 and trending higher.  I still have a few lower 70's scores to bump from last year, and then I get to see where the dust settles.  This is how I see it...... I see where the state of the game is after winter... then it's time to get the rust off................    My goals are minimal..... get back to where I was or a little better......  I just need a little time...let the fun begin!

Mine is accurate, but probably not official. I use the Swing by swing App and record all of my rounds on it. It uses the official formulas, but I have no idea if it is recognized as official.

Shot a decent round at the outing yesterday but it still bumped my handicap up to a 4.9.  And it's almost certainly going to spike some more because my 3 best rounds in my last 20 are the 3 oldest. :cry:

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
