At least you've got the excuse of a new club and the learning process Swingalot. Either I'm destined for a vets handicap or I'm going to put a score in soon and completely embarrass myself!
Don't know whether to laugh or cry!

That happened when I first joint, I'm now just only starting to play the course to handicap.
Just have to accept a change to course and technique will take time to bed in.
Just take a break from the comps and take some money off me instead.

Tis the season to get a shot back, apparently.
I could give you a game. I'm up from 8.8 to 10.5, without a pause. On the escalator, going up!

........ and there's no way you're a 11 handicapper ! If it wasn't a challenge that we're both up for it'd be easy to give up!

Yup - just drifted up from 10.4 to 10.5 so from 10 to 11. Not too fazed since with me trying to relearn how to swing the golf club I rather need any shots the Good Game gives me - and for that I am thankful. I was hoping to get to 9 this year and very much doubt that that is possible, but from disappointment comes realisation, understanding and acceptance - then new beginnings and all that. Golf - the game of life.

It's an age thing Chris. Just accept it. 
Just think what it might be when you get to Leftie's age.

I played with Leftie last week and he's now got a new lease of life with having his knee fixed .......... so that's it, get a new knee and handicap should tumble!

Not sure much of it is the new course factor. I hit a bit of a wall a few months ago and have had to change the swing, so going through that (painful) process at the moment. I think I see light at the end of the tunnel, but you know what its like, we all want instant results!

But when I track HDID back its some time since I put in a really good sub 80 round, a friend who I played with on Sunday said that in his opinion that I've concentrated too much on the longer game and neglected chipping which isn't the strongpoint it used to be - so, I'm just back from an hour + of chipping and pitching practice.
We should have a game soon before the autumn arrives

Silly boy - it was 3 weeks ago last Thursday between 1 and 3pm - I bet you were asleep!
And if we do have a game you ought to get your bum along too!

Not asleep, just meditating, practising Zen golf.

I'm hoping to try out the new irons.
And my new swing :
