Mine is relatively current but only played a few rounds in the last month due to being pretty busy with work. It is still official but will inevitably go up a few points once I get back to playing regularly until that rust is knocked off.

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.

After a big drop on the July 15 revision, the number ticked down .2 on this one.

I managed to post five rounds in July and they all got used. I still think my HI is a bit too high for my club championship, but I gave it a good effort.

One good weekend, one poor one, down again to 3.3.  And 73 this morning :dance:

Now to 2.4, this is getting ridiculous.  I've had a little more trouble recently, mixed with some good rounds, I have a feeling I'll level off or rebound a bit.  But who knows?

Jumped up to 12.5 this time around as I've been stuck in the high 80's for a little while now.  

Working hard to ingrain some tough swing improvements, but have struggled to "just play" when I'm out on the course...recent rounds feel like a constant grind from the first tee shot.  My misses have changed from off-the-Earth slices to hooks/straight blocks, which tells me I'm getting a little closer but still not there yet.

I dropped down a bit. I am shooting low 90s high 80s. 

I was rewarded by the computer for moving back one set of tees. That's where we play for Men's Club, so not really my choice.. But I feel like I'm just trying to survive out there and it's actually not very fun.

The 68 in the last club tourney dropped me from a 1.2 to a 0.7.  First time under 1.0 in a while.

Continue to play in the low eighties, 8.7 this revision.

Down to 7.5 even though I have not been playing to it.

If you're "down", your actually playing better.

True.  More accurately, I was playing better. Last two rounds, not so much.

Up to 15.0 now, as both of my best differentials are gone. Trending upwards, long game just isn't there.

"The devil is in the details".  Trending downwards from around a 22, currently a 19.6. Goes down rapidly at first as the outlier scores are moved off the grid. My current lows   are now a 12.0 but that is only a couple of differentials. It will be more difficult to maintain but as soon as one or two high nineties are pushed off/replaced it should go down even more. Last few rounds promising as they are below 90 and only one away from breaking 80. Should I play a course with higher ratings, it will be even more difficult to maintain, but then again, that is the whole idea of calculating course handicaps.

Still at a 3.0, but I need a few good scores or I am jumping up to a 3.6. My yo-yo type play is about to show it's self in my handicap.  :whistle:

More ridiculous every month.  1.8, lowest ever.

      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.
