2013 Handicap challenge.....

Hmmm, I have a fan ;)

My target will be 14 by this time next year from 23 now.

That might sound over ambitious but I am already cut in most sweeps I play in, the lowest being 16 and I still come in and take the spoils.

Made all my mistakes and tried too hard this year but now with that foundation and knowledge behind me 14 is more than achievable as I have shot 84's & 85's around KGC lately which I think is a good test of golf for anyone. Admit I haven't done it with a card in my hand which everyone is surprised at, but it coming.....

Did you mention that before Blackmoor? :whistle:

To be fair, it was only just coming together at that point after a very frustrating summer which Rick new. He was aware how hard I was working at it, which he actually commented on when announcing my name at Blackmoor.

I got cut another 2 shots last Thursday for winning the 9 hole sweep with 23 points and last Saturday in our first winter league match I got 6 gross pars and a birdie (par 4) and although I ran out of time for doing it in medals, its been muted I may get an end of year revision!

If not then as long as I can put in a couple of good below par medals early doors I should get some serious ESR cuts, hopefully.

I'm pleased with what I have done with only 18 months under my belt but I know the mistakes I made this year so I'm really looking forward to 2013.
 
Not something I've thought of previously but ill go for a target of 16 down to 14. Not particularly ambitious maybe but ill be happy with any sort of reduction.
 
I don't have official hcp but my scores strongly suggest I'll start with max so 28.
I'm quite confident I can reach 20 next year so to keep the goal difficult I'm going for 18 (36% is it ?)

gl all :)
 
In in if that's ok. I'm currently 17.8 but aim to get down to 12 next year. New home course and no internal OB's! Reachable birdieable par 5,s! And great greens! Can't wait for march!

Going to join the fun, currently gone up to 10.6, want to get to single figures again so target 9.4. Hardly a massive cut but after a poor year with only 1 0.2 cut and 3/4 buffers anything downwards is good news! :)
 
Starting at 16.7 next year I have set myself no goals!!

If I finish the season higher/lower I don't really care. I want to enjoy my golf and forget about scoring for a while.

However. To answer the OP. If I finish the 2013 season on 15 or better I'll be happy :thup:
 
I am in.

Didn't make my target this year of 16 (1 qualifier left!!) but I am up for a push towards it next year.

I like the approach of % loss as all can compete although I disagree that it favours the low H/C comments above..

By the way is it by a date next year or the lowest you get to ....errm I have a habit of going low then getting a few 0.1's back each medal.

Currently 18.3 target next year 15

Not wishing to put a spanner in the works but how can you have a handicap starting point for guys that dont have handicaps and are not members of a club?
