Hi everyone -new member here so be gentle
I took up golf about 4 years ago when I was 50 (female), took the plunge and joined a club and got a handicap this season. My scores before getting my handicap were sub 100 - best score 94 usually on the same course - sss 72.
Of course once I started doing my handicap cards my scores went up to around the 106 mark, so my starting handicap was 34. Played the first two matches to handicap, then had two rounds of 100, but as the css was put up to 75, reductions only, my handicap went down to 25.6, with an exceptional scoring reduction.
The problem is I haven't played to my handicap in the next 8 matches I played in, buffer zone 4 times, above 4 times. I'm starting to feel quite despondant as I don't feel I'm improving and will ever get another reduction.
The more I play the worse I get! is this normal?
