2013 Handicap challenge.....

Patricks, I was using their online tracker one, it can be amended after all this isnt CONGU approved :ears:.

its more a bit of forum fun and a target for each individual next year whether that is achievable or not.
 
I'm up for it as will be back in UK ( border guards permitting ) mid February.
Current handicap is 5.0 would like to get down to 4, but as we're in summer and I'm finishing work at Christmas have a chance. will be interested to see what mine will be at which ever club I join, Staffordshire area
 
I was going to say 31/10/2013 as a finishing date as a lot of clubs go winter tee's/greens etc by then.

Can probably do mid season round up aswell with progress so far and to go. Will sort out my spreadsheet proper later with a few formulas etc... I like messing with excel lol

The only downside to the online tracker h/caps v congu is the online ones are adjusted every round and not just qualifiers but for fun it will I tree sting to see how we all fare.

I hope you've sorted out a 36 hole extravaganza at Sunningdale for the top 8 ;)

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?

Wasn't going to put my name down because I don't have an official handicap and knew some bright spark would point that out , but it's
just for fun , your not really a spanner in the works , more of a stick in the mud :whistle:
 
I used to get very (overly) obsessed with my handicap and I am actually trying to wean myself off that. My aim now is to play well and enjoy it and try not to get obsessed with buffer zones, CSS, .1s, etc.

However a leopard doesn't easily change it's spots. In truth I'd love to get back to 10 (11.7 curently) and most people I play with think that would be a fair reflection of my game. I think it's certainly do-able if I can putt and chip a bit more consistently. So put me down for 10.0.
 
Put me down for this Gibbo. Finished the season on 8.9, aiming for 7.0 next year.
Is it just me or does anyone else struggle to get a cut before July?.. I'm a slow starter.

If you don't have an official handicap then theoretically, you should play off scratch I believe. Happy to be corrected on this. Just what I am reguarly told. By opponents in "friendly" games usually. :)

I would gladly sign up for this if I had a starting point but I only have 2 unofficial society handicaps which are 2 and 3. I will say I am 3 now and have a target of a) joining a golf club and b) getting down to 2 so a 33% drop!
 
Haha love Pro Zachs comment, will have people jumping from roofs on here!

Im off 22. I have always said I will be happy if I can play off 18 but I am going to stick it out there and say 16.

Big ask... but worth a punt
