So I started playing golf this year after a couple of times on the range.

I took the intro course on the 17th of june and started playing right after. I had a goal to get down to 25 in HCP, from 54 (clubhandicap here in Norway). I reached my goal mid august and played myself down to 24.2. I was happy and didn't really expect more.

Last week i had 2x18 hole rounds and one 9 hole (due to massive rain). My goal got blown away. I am now 17.4 and I am immensly proud. With about 3 weeks left of the season I am hoping I can get a little lower, but we will see.

Just wanted to share it and brag a little :whistle:

 

My last rounds:

My home course, played with a stranger - Had a 87 round

Went with a friend to his home course. Only played it twice and posted an even 100. Was a good score, but ended to write myself alittle bit up.

3rd round was at my home course again, posted a 44 front 9 and had to end it due to massive rain.

That's awesome dude. You should be proud. One of my best mates has taken like 5 years of fairly dedicated play to get where you are now!

+1. Shooting an 87 even once in your first year is impressive. Many players never break 90, even 100 after years of trying. Nicely done!

Thanks guys. It's been a really fun year and I am so sad that the season soon is over.

One of the major things I have been getting a lot better at is to play from bad lies since my drives still is short and all over the place.

 

But my 5 last rounds I have hit 15m or closer to the pin for 84% from 100-125meters and 83% from 50-75 meters. I am still lacking a good percentage on 75-100 meters, but I am lacking a 52degree in my bag atm. Short game are getting very good atm.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
