My mate scored 94, a 104 went off his record at the other end, and his handicap still went up by 0.1. I've given up trying to understand it.

It’s the differential that determines the index, not the gross scores.

Went out with the wife today, played Uxbridge, a 12-hole course because it was quite near the pub we were meeting friends at afterwards. Was a mistake really, not a particularly enjoyable course. I hadn't played there for several years so I'd forgotten a lot of it, it was more hilly and challenging than I remembered, so my wife didn't enjoy it at all and I felt bad for suggesting it in the end. I played ok-ish I guess, I was 10 over par for 12 holes, which including a triple on the final hole - just like yesterday. An annoying habit to develop. Got a birdie and three pars. Don't think we'll hurry back there any time soon.

I know but it still boggles my mind that a 104 at our old course could ever be rated better than a 94 at our current course. It was absolutely not ten shots harder, it makes no sense at all.

Was the 104 just his 20th score, or was it in his best 8?

I know what you mean. Our course slope is 133 off the back tees but is only just over 6000 yards off the back tees. Course is very tight and we have tiny greens. This slope is higher than the Nick at St Mellion. ? I’ve yet to see any of my high handicap mates play to their handicap around St Mellion.

It was both. Score diff 28.2 (PCC 3 which has obviously skewed it), yesterday's 94 rated score diff 28.6 (PCC 0). It was a 39 point round for him and he still went up, ha. I just find it bizarre. As I say, I've given up. No wonder people are complaining about high handicap bandits everywhere. ?

Last weekend, searching for swing but mental game on point - kept a double bogey off the card. Today, swinging better - despite 2 doubles am standing on 16th tee, 3 bogeys to finish would be on handicap. Bogey 16, 3 jabs after a cautious approach. 17 had the mental lapse - punch down the fairway was the shot but went to go over the corner of the tree. Reload, punch, lip out for 7 (long par 4). 18th tee still in the mist, first bad tee shot of the day. Reload, finish with another 7 (par 5).

Why does it always take me 9 holes to warm up ?
Front 9, played awful, 11 points.
Back 9, played solid golf, 20 points

Go to the driving range before your round. That way you can be excellent on the front 9 and awful on the back 9 when you're knackered instead.

Game of two halfs on Saturday. Front 9 I couldn’t make anything resembling solid contact, but putted well. Only one par for a total of 45 horrible shots.
Somewhere between the 9th green and 10th tee my swing made an appearance. However, the greens on the back 9 hadn’t been cut so were markedly slower than the front 9, which I couldn’t get to grips with.
41 shots on the back 9 for another very frustrating score in the mid 80s.
I think it’s time to try full implementation of DECADE to see if that helps lower my scores.

I don’t really practice and hate going to the range so maybe that’s my problem ?

Same here really. I sometimes get to the club early to try and warm up in the nets, but even that only lasts 5 minutes before I get bored.

Well that went well ???
Well if golf was the game where whoever got the ball closest to the hole without it dropping I'd be brilliant, had 6 taps in from less than 4 inches, in fairness only one was for birdie and rest were for pars.
Not bottom and we go again tomorrow. ??

Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on DECADE, once you've used it fully.

That's me too, on the very rare occasion that I get to the course to give me time to practice I tend to hit a few balls at the net then get bored, much better to time the arrival to perfection, a couple of putts, couple of swings with the driver then tee it up and generally knock it down the middleSame here really.

If I bother at all, my net warm-up is a couple of 8 irons, a couple of half-swing pitch shots, then 5 or 6 hits with the club I use on the first tee (usually hybrid or 7 wood). That's all I can get in before boredom hits. Last week I did spend a fair bit longer on the putting green though, and I actually putted really well on my round for once - so maybe there's something in that.
Nah, probably coincidence.
