Yes you can do it with no problem. I've shot 4 under rounds when my handicap was 14. Many years ago now mind you. Happy to be in the 80tys now.
seems to have stopped week 7! https://docs.google.com/a/brokenhz....R3BGWV-MMr4PsWlhUHA3-MWFU6Fs/edit?pli=1#gid=0
oh well, at least he tried....a bit.
On twitter said he's really struggling- best he's had is 17

I think you would honestly need a pro friend to coach you daily, but a lot would come down to your understanding of the game in areas such as course management .
I don't think its that hard to get to high single figures quickly, I think looking below 6 is when a lot of skill is involved....
After 24 pages of posts, have we finally concluded that the answer to the original post is "No".
This will always be my take too. Playing to 9 you can still have bad shots and mess up the odd hole or 2 as long as you have enough good ones or drop a couple of birdies in.
Playing to scratch, if you have a triple bogey then your round is more or less over, unless you have it in you to make 14 pars and 3 birdies for the rest of the round. To play to scratch I still believe that there are things in golf that you learn over time like how to put a score together, because at some point your are going to need to scramble to make a score on a hole.
9 and scratch are millions of miles apart.
Whilst I agree that most guys in cat 1 have a triple bogey their game is pretty much done but I played with our club record holder when he shot it and he had 2 double bogeys on his card and shot 8 under.
I'm trying to get from 25 to single figures in a year. I'll do it. I'm certain of it.
