2013 Handicap challenge.....

[JustOne]

Mine is quite simple.
Continue to play for fun without a handicap.

I don't know about 'without a handicap' but I'll continue to just play and not care what my h/cap is, that's what I've done all along, it is what it is. Not much point in worrying what it is if you can't be bothered to even go to the practice ground.



I'd like to know how all these people planning to get better are going to do it.... hit and hope?

nowt wrong with hit and hope James, it actually works better than when I think about it

For me it will be a shot game lesson (1st lesson ever) as IMO i miss too many greens from good positions 150 to 80 out ..
Secondly ive been working on my ball striking in general (last 4/5 weeks) so hopefuly a combination of the 2 will push me lower ..

I wasn't going to bother but what the heck, stick me down please Gibbo.

Current - 6

5 doesn't seem like enough and 3 is pushing it so I'll have a go at 4.

 

[craig26]

Well if his is still going will throw my hat in the ring to get from 28 to 20 by this time next year

 

[G1BB0]

added chaps.

I reckon an update around end of March once comps are back underway unless anyone has a major drop over the winter then I can amend accordingly if required :thup:

 

[StrangelyBrown]

hit and hope?

Pretty much

 

[Hooper]

Current = 9.2
Target = 7.4

Thanks G1BBO

Not been one for setting proper targets but do plan on hitting the practise ground this winter and next year after a long absence from their.

Even having drifted from 1.8 to 2.5 in the last couple of months I fancy getting to +1 (+1.0) next year. Bit of a work to do but I'm gonna try and give it a go. More so just to throw all your figures off Gibbo!!

You do realise they are predicting the coldest winter for 100 years. Lure of the pub, lure of the practise ground, I wonder which one will win.:mmm:

It has been a one sided battle for years. History may well repeat itself!!

-3 to +1

Is that a 133% reduction?

We need a Scr hc aiming for +1 to give Gibbo's spreadsheet a #DIV/0! :rofl:

 

[G1BB0]

just bumping this back up as we have a fair few new members. Spreadsheet gonna get a revamp and dont worry Gary, my excel skills can handle any conundrum you lot try and trip me up with

 

[backwoodsman]

Is it too late to join in?
If ok, then 20.8 down to 17.

 

[Andy808]

I've set myself a really hard challenge for 2013. I'm just going to have fun. I don't care about HC changes, I don't care about scores and I don't care if I win or lose I just want to enjoy playing again without the added stress of unobtainable challenges.

 

[DappaDonDave]

I bet on me, as I'm yet to have a handicap so ill start at 28 and should be able to get to 20 so that's like...a percentage or something

Not necessarily.

 

[Fader]

Can't remember what I set as a target on here without trawling through the posts, so I'll take whats in my sig as my goal for this one.

When the spreadsheet is done, can you post it here?
