I look at it differently though. If I go up by 2 shots now, it's not so much that my current form is terrible, it's just that it's not quite as good as a purple patch I had 9-10 months ago. My form was much worse two or three months ago than it is now, but my index didn't change because I hadn't got to the green rounds on my record yet.
Yeah. I would have preferred that, if I still cared about what my index was, but I've given up on that now so bring on the shots!
I get it already. As fast as it goes up it comes back down again. I don’t mind it, as like you say, if you play lots then your handicap is more reflective of how you are currently playing.
I'm trying to get my handicap back up as Autumn and then Winter comes round as it is always at least 1 shot harder then even off the yellows
My new Scotty X7 arrived today. First new putter I've bought in about 15 years!
A piece of artwork. Not sure whether to play it, or hang it on the wall
Working and staying quite near Troon at the minute, all the road signs are up and ready for the fans. Getting excited for next week
Got your clubs with you in case of a last minute drop out
If those who haven't played with you only knew how accurate this is......On the tee, The Gateshead Slasher
Update- just received an email from Strathaven, seemingly play was suspended 90 mins after we finished because of flooding.My team just won the Strathaven GC seniors 4 man Texas scramble open with a net 55 yippee. Its been a long time coming
We chipped in 3 times and holed some long putts
Got your clubs with you in case of a last minute drop out
Go Lottie and good luck having Luke (her Farnham coach) on her bag.
My last four cards have been dreadful as has all my golf…for reasons I understand but nevertheless my scoring has been dreadful - usually 5-7 shots over my handicap…and that’s basically double. Yet because my 15th- 20th rounds in my record were non-counters my HI has not moved…and it’s difficult (it feels a lot worse than just difficult…but I’ll leave it at that).I get it already. As fast as it goes up it comes back down again. I don’t mind it, as like you say, if you play lots then your handicap is more reflective of how you are currently playing.
There’s a couple of old codgers at our place that still don’t understand why when they have a good score their handicap goes up. They haven’t sussed that this good score is not as good as the one that is dropping out from one of their best 8.
Don't start that again... It was the same story that day I played with you and you got a silly number of points!
How much would you expect your handicap to have changed under the old system? Are any of the last 4 cards from competitions?
