    Default Beat your H'cap averages

    It has been said that you better your handicap one out of ten rounds, so I checked my last fifty rounds. Five times out of fifty for me, curious if others faired the same.

    3 out of my last 20 rounds. Probably why I have gone from 6 to 8 (nearly 9)

    edit: Under the old system, most peoples average scores were generally 3 shots higher than their handicap.

    About every third or fourth round.

    Last 20 - 5 lower plus 2 even.
    Previous 25 - 8 lower plus 0 even.

    Proabaly explains why the handicap has come down 4 shots.

    13 out of the last 20 for me. Probably a combination of playing crap golf through the middle of the year and finally having a bit of faith that my shoulder isn't going to drop out of its socket at any moment.

    Beat the hcap 3 out of last 20 games (2 from last 3 though!).

    In that last 20 rounds, however, I have drifted from 6hcap to 9 hcap, so the numbers don't lie.

    Must of heard or read a dozen times that a handicapped golf has one good round out of ten. Different to Professionals we are effectively 14 hole golfers and our control over those loose 4 holes really determines the succcess of our round.

    It is a combination of consistent scores, even if you aren't breaking hcp, and the 0.96 factor I guess.

    Played off 10 only once though, the other time I thought I was still on 9!

    The shame of officially playing off double figures resulted in 41 points at Gailes and back into 9 quicksmart!
