What are your strengths, does your handicap travel and why ?

[USER1999]

My handicap doesn't even travel to my own club!

 

[In_The_Rough]

Pretty good at everything apart from my Driver which can go anywhere mostly a straight block off to the right. HCP travels o.k.

 

[Papas1982]

surely you can hit a 24/25 degree hybrid! just hit it like any iron.

I know I should be able too. Always seem to mess them up. Pushed for golf time at the minute. I know I need to hit the range. But my free timeis pretty much 4 hours here and there and am loathe to stay if the course if I get the chance.

Strength - Driving Accuracy, Short Irons and Pitching

Weakness - Average distance, average putting

Handicap generally travels well as my accuracy makes up for average distance and pitching helps me score

When good off the tee my handicap travels, if I go into the woods today there is no surprise for me then I am adding up cricket scores.

 

[louise_a]

My strength s mainly straight relatively long driving, my game is too erratic to say my handicap travels well, although, it does suit matchplay. Last season I played 10 matches away from my own club, winning 9 and halving the other.

 

[EuanRoss]

I'm a fairly good putter. Gets me out of jail a lot. I scramble very well because I tend not to hit that many fairways and greens but I never miss them by much. I also consider myself a very good wind player because I generally hit the ball very low.

oh and yeah my handicap travels well because we're a fairly tough par 72 but I grew up playing a really short par 63 so my all round game is ok. I'd probably struggle on a really really long track.

 

[Paperboy]

Putting is a saviour for me, as struggle with driver. If I hit driver well my handicap travels well.

Working on my short game and my mid irons at present. Fingers crossed for a few cut in the upcoming season!!

 

[virtuocity]

I'm consistent on every course as long as there are bunkers, out of bounds and plenty of trees.

 

[Junior]

For my handicap, i hit the ball OK. If I putt well, I score well, if I putt poorly then i'm usually around buffer. My handicap travels well on short courses but not so good on longer ones !

 

[Pistol Peter]

I feel that my handicap travels well for now but I am sure it will be put under pressure next year as I get to single figures.

 

[ScienceBoy]

Varies by round, yes (beaten a few on here round their home courses) and no idea

 

[Dave B]

Most visitors struggle with my local course as it is long and there are a few challenging holes so generally my handicap travels quite well.

Strengths are mental attitude and determination, weakness is like many a lack consistency partially due to back problems, (tightening of the muscles), which sometimes creeps in towards the back of the back nine.

There is still a lot of room for improvement particularly my driving but I am happy with the progress I've made with my putting which was my main weakness but has now become one of my strengths

 

[Hobbit]

A good short game, especially putting. Dodgy long game but when its in the groove I can go on a crazy good scoring streak. I can have good rounds home and away but I can throw in some real howlers.

 

[big_eck]

My strengths are my front 9, I think I burn out after that's what's ruined my handicap

 

[Qwerty]

I think my handicap travels reasonably well. my home course is quite tricky and you'll come across every kind of lie you can think of, so it probably stands me in good stead when I play away.
Strengths.... I'd say driving and mid irons. I've really got to maintain my short game otherwise it goes downhill fast.
Im looking to get a laser for the coming season and really knuckle down on the wedge distances. Hopefully turn the pars into birdies and the bogies into pars

 

[Oddsocks]

Handicap travels there or there abouts unless to you involve links then it can take a battering.

Strengths, creativity around greens and normally from the tee.
Weaknesses ' 9-4i but mainly my approach shots from 150 yard and in, although I'm working hard on this,

 

[Lump]

Got to play off grass at a different course today. It's like night and day.
Strengths are irons, pitching and chipping. Putting was better than most weeks. Good off the tee with the 5 wood, quite a few howlers with the driver in hand.
I tend to hit lots of GIR but never capitalise with putting.

 

[HawkeyeMS]

I keep the ball in play off the tee and a lot of greens which helps play golf anywhere.
