2013 Handicap challenge.....

Poor year for me,two seconds and a third during the season plus a lot of +1s,had one good score at end of season medal with a cut
,started year on 17.2 finished on 17.4.

Hopeing for better in our winter comp.not a big entry but have won it 4 times in the last 5 years,just a pity they are not quailifiers.
 
Inspired by Hickory's thread I thought I'd dig this out as we're getting to the end of the year ...

I've managed to get down from 9.5 to 5.3 so am counting it as a 5 shot reduction (from 10-5) which is a 50% chop ... :whistle:

How'd everyone else get on?

If I've got my sums correct then it would be closer to a 44% decrease

Hence the whistle ... 50% was counting whole shots ;)

Which I think is perfectly valid as we use whole shots when working out our score.

Excellently year BTW, doubt anyone else will be able to match a 50% playing reduction :thup:

Started season at 9.4 went up to 9.7 now at 5.1 :D
 
Started at 14.3 - currently on 14.1 and have 1 qualifier left on the 22nd December.

Got as high as 14.7 and low as 13.5, but hit form too late in the year and failed to convert strong iron play into good scores.

Equalled my PB of 79 last week so lots of positives to end the year

Show off :ears:
 
Got from 11.8 to 7.8, or 12 to 8, which is a 33% reduction by my dodgy sums.

Would have bitten someone's hand off for that at the start of the year. No more qualifiers now until Spring, so will have to try and relocate my game in March...
 
My ambition was to get back into Cat 1, I'd gone from 5.2 to 6.3 in 2012. The stretch goal was to make it to 4, which I hadn't been anywhere near for xx yrs. Got to 4.4 early in Oct, although now at 4.6. I'm right chuffed!! Job jobbed...
 
As mentioned in my other thread - made my target by the skin of my teeth

Started at 19.8 - target 16. Got to 17.4 at the last qualifier & reached 16.4 following the end of year review of handicaps.

Now drinking a pint to celebrate. Woot :D

This is quite uncanny, in exactly the same position myself playing at the same club!

started playing Oct 2013, set myself a target of 28HCP by summer 2014 in order to play cooperate days or just wherever with however and be at a reasonable level.

Played the Manor course for the first time Sunday and shot 54 on the 9 holes so should be consistently <100 by spring at this rate.


If you fancy a round at the Church/Manor then send me a PM.
 
I went from 18.2 to 14.7, at a target of a playing handicap of 14.

So close. I was 14.3 at my peak during the season and am very disappointed not to stave off the end of season rot that took me back up to a playing h/c of 15.
 
Started the year on 18, got reduced to 17 in the AR, hoped to come down to 15 and this weekend got another cut to come down to 12.7!

Lower than I thought I could get to in this time but rather happy nonetheless. No target for next year, but would be interesting if i could get even lower, to the 10ish mark
 
I didn't partake in this, as I only got my HC at the end of the season, but as written in other threads, next year I will be getting my HC of 17.1 in to single figures.
 
Where are you GIBBO?

Do you still have the spreadsheet that you created at the start of this thread and are you entering all these results onto it? :)
