All those who voted for the States over Mauritius need their heads read

I voted for the USA but thinking about it Ireland has some great courses so I'd like to change.

Handicap; very frustrating year with no change despite laods of practice in all areas of my game, just trying too hard I suspect. (And going for too many silly shots as well)

USA for me and down 2, although it's been a bit of a roller coaster with me changing my swing...

started on 9...got down to 7.0.....had some lessons to change the swing and went up to 9.4 .....lessons just started to kick in and new swing starting to work and got back down to 6.6

Good work Rick , nice to see a new swing getting results so quickly. I didnt think your old one was bad anyhow , you played very nicely at Luton

Cheers mate,
I didn't think it was too bad either until I saw it on video in my lessons and actually started to understand what made the swing tick.
I think my pro summed it up nicely when he said it looked pretty but was very ineffective. He was totally right, there were a lot of underlying problems which he has done a great job in helping me to address.

Still got a long way to go, but he now thinks I can/should get to 3 or 4 whereas previously 5 or 6 was probably as far as the old swing would have taken me.

Ive come down from 26 to 22 in my first full season, so im quite pleased

And judging by the number of shots I leave out there, I know i can come down loads more

Id like to be off 18 this time next year

I voted New Zealand, coz its a lovely location and its the furthest place I can get away from HID

i went for asia and my handicap has gone down 9 shots this year from 19 to 10.3 i was happy to get to 14 that was my goal but now i want to be down to at least 4 next year just need to improve my short irons yes i do expect alot from myself but thats how ive been brought up

 

[benhobden]

Down 5 this season, so looking forward to the start of the next!

Dream destination wise, why look further than the UK? Played Birkdale this year and play St Andrews next so looking forward. That said, I did have the pleasure of playing in South Africa in March, and will be playing in Jamacia next year too!

If you could guarantee the weather then there are at least 50 courses (not all in the top 100) that I'd really want to play in the UK but with money being no object in the OP I'd prefer the warmth of the sun on my back all day so the US would be my go to destination. Unless of course money really was no object then a nice golfing world tour would be awesome
