Monthly poll 1: By how many shots has your handicap risen or fallen in 2013?

[LIG]

2013: 1 buffer & 10x 0.1 :angry:

 

[Robobum]

6 counting rounds.....

Up 0.5 then down 0.4!!!

 

[Mr A]

Down 5! Started at 25, now 20.

 

[chris661]

went up 0.2, but that is only 1 medal I have played in so far, and hitting the ball well at the moment so hope for a cut after the next medal.

How does that work?

 

[mcbroon]

3 cuts (1.8, 0.6 and 0.8), 4 x 0.1 and one single, solitary buffer. 2.8 lost overall and down from 12 to 9.

 

[Andy808]

I've gone down 3 and up 1 so far this year for a net -2 from 21 to 19 so far this year.
No plans or hopes for the rest of the year just enjoying playing golf and letting the handicap worry about itself.

 

[USER1999]

9.4 to 8.8. Ok and fine, but not really making a difference. I'm playing way better than that, but a total lack of comps at this time of year is not helping.

 

[Crow]

11.3 to 11.9, playing much worse than that in competitions, can't string five holes together let alone 18.
Scored 95 gross on Sunday with a 12 (twelve) on the 7th.

The annoying thing is I scored one over gross 37 in a friendly 9 hole comp two days before, double bogey start then 7 pars and a birdie to fnish.

 

[Siren]

Down 5.1 here, hoping to get it down a few more strokes but id be happy to see the year out off 18.

 

[full_throttle]

started 21.6, now down to 18.2

I've only managed a few qualifiers, so it's probably artificially low, but I've been cut 0.3 down to 4.7 so far this season.

 

[mikeb4]

was 10.3 at start of year got to 9.5 now 9.7

 

[gjbike]

Only played in six comps this year gone up .3 but been in buffer zone 3 times think a big cut is just around the corner.

 

[CheltenhamHacker]

First handicap, gone up 0.3 in first 3 comps!!

It would be interesting if there was a linked poll, showing the link between movement in handicap, and number of lessons taken....

wouldnt mind betting and only a guess but those having lessons are more likely to drop handicap than those going it alone...

I went up 1, but after the weekend just gone, I am down 2 to 9!

 

[GB72]

I am having a good season now. I crept up to 18.9 at one stage but now down to my lowest ever handicap of 17.2 and feel that I am playing well enough to go lower.

Biggest help for me has been one short game lesson. I was losing shots every round through fat shots and thins around the green. An hour with Bob and I am so much better. OK, more practice needed to get up and down more often but I am at least giving myself a chance now.

 

[AmandaJR]

Edit - a wee cut due after today as shot 3 under despite feeling jaded after the amount of competitive golf I've played lately

 

[Fish]

I'll be getting a whopping 3.6 cut after a Nett 62 this morning

That'll make me 4.1 less now so far since April :thup:
