I don't record GP rounds.
7 comps played. All scores were outside of my handicap, which went from 15.1 to 16.1. 🫤

Having not played any golf since March mine has hardly moved

I had already gone up by 4 shots Mar 23 to Mar 24 when I did play but that is what serious injury does to you.

I expect it go up further when I start again.

I started the year on 14.7, briefly dropped to 14.4 but have now gone up to 15.3.

In fairness I don't think I am playing any worse now than I was at this time last year. But through the year I have made substantial swing changes for the first time, plus I decided to start putting every round in for my handicap record. This has backfired a little because I played several nice, new courses, and generally played well but only achieved 32-35 points so my handicap still went up.

Hoping that once I hit 16.0 my swing changes will finally click I'll be tearing up the early comps next year for a little while. 😄

If you were taking gimmes before, no wonder your handicap was lower!!

First January 2024 index was 23.7

I went up to 25.4

Lowest it was throughout the season was 22.2 (that was Tuesday)

It's now 22.5

Suffering from the shanks ATM however I'm in a very good position as I have 7 throw away rounds until the next score that would drop off my best so hopefully ill throw in a good one before that

An add to this I have (so far) put 37 rounds in this year

Entered 14 cards.

Started at 12.9

Immediately went up to 13.4

Since then I've chipped away to a low of 10.9 and currently at 11.0.

Lowest I've ever been was 10.1 and I feel like I'm a better player now than then. But I was playing a lot more then and more consistent.

Started year 4.2
Lowest 3.5
Currently 5.9.

I always go up over the summer as my course is harder. Also play in opens where I never score well.

Started the year at 8.1 and now at 6.6, so pretty happy overall. Especially as we were on non-qualifiers from Feb through March at my old club and then didn't have a club from June 1st through August 16th.
