Oh er guvnor!! 10.7 now, therefore target has to be at 9.4 you can do the math.
But if a Cat4 comes down by 0.4 per shot below CSS, and a Cat1 by 0.1...

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.

Thats what i thought too. Surely if anything it slightly favours the higher handicap?

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?

Go on then... currently 24.3, let's see how much I can improve.
In all likelyhood, not much :rofl:

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.

Pick a figure, doesnt matter if you reach it or not but you got to have something to aim for

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.

18 for me then.

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!
