2013 Handicap challenge.....

Good Idea - I put a stake in the ground last year to get to 14 from 20 and it does help your motivation.

This year I am aiming for 10.4! So a 28% reduction.

Gonna be a challenge, but I fancy I can do it.
 
not really Hobbit, 1 shot for someone off 5 is 20% thats the same as 4.16 shots for a 28 h/c

yes there may be the odd flyer, ok I went from 28 to 21... (very harsh btw) but thats still on 25%

surely its a good measure though?

I dont think theres much in it if its worked as a percentage. I believe getting from 5 to 4 would be harder than getting from 28 to 21 though.

But if a Cat4 comes down by 0.4 per shot below CSS, and a Cat1 by 0.1...

Ok, so if a Cat 4 at 28 handicap shoots 5 rounds at one shot below CSS in theory he gets cut 5 x 0.4 = 2 shots therefore around 7%

If a cat 1 at 5 handicap shoots the same 5 rounds at one shot below CSS he also gets cut 5 x 0.1 = .5 shot or 10%
 
why would it? Not all 20+ handicappers can hit the teen's but a lot of 5 h/c can go lower as they musst have a decent game already to get to 5, its all relative really.

Its more a case of having something measurable on the forum as a community & a bit of fun above all else:whoo:
 
I'm hoping just to get an official handicap next year as not a member of a club as yet , put my scores into golfshake and It came up
with 27.3 , once I get an official handicap next year I'm certainly hoping I can slice a few shots off it at least before the year

Its a smaller buffer zone though for CAT 1 therefore more likely to rise?

I dont think theres much in it overall precentage wise but slightly favours higher imo.
 
My current handicap is 18.8 and my target for next year is 12. Thats about 36% if my brain is working ok :). Big ask but if you dont aim big and all that!
