When does a purple patch become your new standard?

Hopefully now for me!!

Playing better than I ever have for the last few weeks (ever since I dried out from H4H :whistle:).

Typical that the qualifiers have finished, hoping to keep it up though

Likewise - though I have all the winter comps to keep me working on it so I have a good a starting point for next year's comp season

When your PP's reckon you should be cut in bounce games as they're beginning to feel like your sponsor 😅😅

I think it is when for example you normally shoot around 85, but you have now started shooting around 80 all the time and see the 85 as a bad round. That is when you have improved IMO.

You might have - or you might just be in a lucky streak and end in denial that luck keep going your way and you begin to think it is you :) You need a measure - and that measure is handicap. Must be - that's what it's for. But I get your drift.

But, in the absence of qualifiers, the measure is gross score surely?!

Thats the things if you aren't playing qualifiers then how do you measure it? I hadn't played any comps for 18 months, so my handicap hadn't changed. But I knew myself that my regular score had got lower to the point where that is now what I expect to get round in.
