this year my cut was from 11.1 to 11.0 - a measly 1%, not what i was hoping for. let's set a goal for next year: 10.3 - over here we have slope rating in effect and i need 10.3 to play off 9 at my home course (from club tees)
I'll belatedly throw my hat into this ring as well. G1bbo, my handicap has followed a similar path to yours, off 28 a year ago, one or two small cuts followed by being slashed from 26 to 21 after a great round. Now off 22.0, I'd like to get to the stage where I no longer get a shot on every hole, so target for the year is 17.4
10.7 and would be happy as a pig in muck to get to 8 next year. I only get to play circa 10 qualifiers a season so its a tough ask. I really need to improve my driving and chipping to get close.
If I get a club membership this coming year my target is 8, should be achievable. I can hack around a local par 3 in 4-8 over gross for 18 holes week in week out... Just have to play like that with a card in my hand on a proper course again!
I don't know if its an advantage or not but I will probably have to submit 3 cards at my new club... we shall just have to see!
