We never played 18 at my school. I usually shot 38-40.(par 36) on the front and 39-40 on the back. I guess I lowered it considerably.

I'm a complete newbie and haven't established a handicap yet but ... I began playing golf for the first time in June and shot 96 to 104 in my first 8 rounds and 83 to 97 in my last 7 rounds.

It was encouraging enough that I recently had a club fitting and got an instructor (first one) for the off-season.

N/A at the start of the year (probably around a 25+), 20.6 now.

I must say, the fact that I have obtained a handicap is forcing me to get better. No more mulligans means working to hit good shots all the time!

I seemed to struggle every time out with a different part of my game, but I noticed that my last three rounds I was starting to develop some memory for the good swings. I'm really looking forward to the 2008 season!

Laws of golf :
LAW 3: Brand new golf balls are water-magnetic. Though this cannot be proven in the lab, it is a known fact that the more expensive the golf ball, the greater its attraction to water.

LAW 8: Topping a 3-iron is the most painful torture known to man.

I started around an 18 and finished the season at a 12.1. I am looking at cutting that in half for next season. Short game is going to get some serious work over the winter and next season.

I started playing golf last May. Pitch and Putt first and mostly Par 3 (good ones) courses up until now. I went on regoular courses only 10 times or so loosing many shots (and balls) with the Driver.

On par 3 courses (with full size holes/greens etc.) I now break 80 quite regularly (73 my best so far). Unfortunately now that I would feel like measuring my golf on regular courses, weather is bad. I am curious to see how a 19 over on par 3 course translates on a full size one.

I didn't actually have an official handicap at the start of 2007. However, as i was just picking up the golf clubs, i was considerably bad. I would be thinking about a 42 or 43 which is obviously maxxed out anyway. Now, i am sitting at a 30.0 however after having a good round last week and hitting 6-under, that should drop further.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
