I went from 19.3 down to 16.4. This year. So I'll set a target of 13 for next year

Personally hoping to get to 18 in 2013 but will be happy with anything that resembles a cut.

I love the way you've just subtly labelled Full-Throttle as a workshy layabout with no drive...

 

[G1BB0]

nah I think Rob is just being cagey

 

[full_throttle]

G1BBO, you and Tiger both know my target, I just don't want the whole forum to see it and then give me hell should I not achieve it..lol

 

[Andy808]

I'm not having a handicap target next year as I missed it by a country mile this year. All I'm going to do is enjoy my golf for a year.
I also noticed that even with all the top notch gear, top coaches, health and fitness coaching that only one of the PYB guys actually managed to hit their target. So with that in mind I will be quiet happy with any drop I get, any low score I get as long as I have gone out, played as well as I can on that day and enjoyed my game and the company.

 

[Evesdad]

Well may as well join in! current 26.4 and aiming for 18 (again).

Under promise and over deliver eh Rob

 

[Whereditgo]

Aiming for 12 and hoping for better next year

 

[Rooter]

19 to 14 for me. no idea what that is in % terms. brain no worky today.

 

[full_throttle]

That's the plan, but you never know what will happen on the downswing

 

[Pro Zach]

Got to be a fishing expedition.

This is the guy that argues AGAINST having handicaps at all iirc.

This was an argument against the handicap system.

For clarity, I'm currently off 17 and hope to get to 11 next year.

But it would be a lot easier if we didn't 'compete' using handicaps!

 

[G1BB0]

I wouldnt play any comps if we were all off scratch! It would be the same golfers winning every week

adeed to the list, thats 70 in total now folks :cheers:

 

[G1BB0]
