Enjoy the winning run while the h/c comes down , we've all been there on the hot streak where the h/c cant keep pace with the improvement.

A piece of advice though , ignore your h/c and how quick its dropping and just play golf and tot the score up at the end. It could be easy to think all of sudden " damn , I cant play to that h/c "...you can and you will

Parmo - ignore the "bandit" labelling that will follow.

How boring would golf be if everyone played to their handicap week in week out? Very. Thats why it is so addictive. Most players will take something positive away from each round, be it their putting or their driving etc, or an amazing shot they pulled off. Its rare that everything comes togather in the same round, but it does happen and a very low score is the result.

You deserve high praise for knucking down and working at your game - it is obviously working! Just dont get downhearted if you cant play to that stanard regularly.

Isn't the point of golf to improve?? You've put the time and effort in, you're off a higher handicap so when everything clicks you post a high points total - that's the point of golf. No-one ever accuses a 1 handicapper of being 'bandit' when he shots 5 under - people simply state that his game 'clicked'. Well, on a similar line, your game 'clicked' and you got 49 points. The target for you now is to replicate that when you get your new handicap.

Well played and good luck with your new handicap.

A 1 h/c shooting 6 under his h/c is 42 points not 49

He would need to shoot a gross 60 (par 72) , then you could say he was a bandit or he was practicing lots and deserved it
