Target Hcp

[Bruce Dickinson]

Bandit!!

Maybe you need a 460cc driver?

the numbers don't lie, been averaging around 32-33 points a game and that makes me a 15 handicapper

[simmsy]

Are they the A4's that I worked on for you...?

yeah that'd be the ones, the ones Jaybam sold to me.

[TourFit]

Ah good, I'll still take 'some' credit then

(No more internet money for you for a while, I'm guessing!)

Strange double post was deleted from here !!!

MOVE ALONG.

[simmsy]

Well done Simmsy.

Go and reward youself with new equipment.

Would love to but recent hybrid, driver & putter purchase has used up all my Internet monies.

now that you have noticed, you are going to tank big time. You will get to the last hole knowing a par will do it and .....<gag>

When i was a young man about 20+ years ago, all I wanted to do was get down to 3, cos I reckoned that any chopper could get to 4. I must have had 5-6 rounds on an exact 3.5 where bogied the last (a simple par 5) when a par would have nailed it. Every time the handicapper would update the boards on saturday night, he used to laugh at me cos he knew I wanted it so bad.

I have been on 3.5-6 so many times since and knowing what i needed to score to get that smallest reduction and missed by 'that' every time so many times.

Good Luck!

spoken like a messiah - tho it wasn't a case of choke on the last hole, more like a strangle hold before the round started
up to 1.3 now...

gave it a shot, reasonably good social rounds, but poor golf during the 2 comp rounds killed it...

[LarryLong]

At the other end of the scale, I'm having a crack at 18 by the end of the year. Really should be able to manage it, but I'm just not consistent and I think I'll start going the other way when my number of rounds catches up with me.

Didn't make it - currently off 19 but not playing enough to really know where I'm headed.

Was there a 2010 predictions thread where people did a recap on the previous year and put down what their golfing goals were for the year? Is there one for this year?

[Dotty]

Another 12 target here.

Needing 3 pars per nine seems about the right amount of stress for a leisure activity.

Stuffed that up and now on 8.2. (Bloody sidebets and team events making me concentrate.)

Set a new goal for 2011. Get the 'worst 10 of last 20' handicap to 12 (currently 13.4).

[Moe Norman]

I think I'll be on 9 for life.

Everytime I sneak into double figures, I then have a good game.

[IanO]

In 2010 I started on 20.4 and had a target of 18. I finished on 17.
In 2011 I started on 17.4 and have a target of 12. I am currently on 15.7

24 Jan - 15.0

[Pieface]

Starting this year at 21.5. Not getting to play much so if I can get anywhere around 18 I'll be doing well I think.

[Yossarian]

Ha! I only have to give you two shots!

[Pieface]

Ha! I only have to give you two shots!

Damn I thought I'd get 4. I think my H/C is artificially low. A couple of good rounds and I am stranded thanks to the older WAGL systen of H/capping. Only going out 0.1 at a time

[MegaWatty]

Why haven't they adopted the new system? Pretty stupid I'm thinking.

[Pieface]

Because all the old men want that once a season blinder to keep them lower than they should be for the next 12 months. Helps for the pissing contests I guess

[MegaWatty]

Tell em to get with the program!

[senecio]

So close (5.5).

Set myself a target to get to 5 this year (started on . This is still a PB for me as my previous best was 6.0 towards the end of 2009. Its only going to get harder from here with one of my lowest counters about to drop out next week.

I've been playing some great golf, but can't seem to keep the odd blemish off the card. 77 yesterday in a monthly medal with a triple bogie on the 5th. I shot 78 2 weeks with a double and a triple.

[Hux]

Started 2010 on 18 with a desire for 14 by end of year and finished on 18 after blowing out to 22 at one point thanks to the hcp system coming on board.

Started 2011 with the same desire of at least 14 by end of year. Currently 16.8

With a good round yesterday they have not updated Golflink - not sure if our water affected course is not rated even though it was played at full length and full course except with a number of bunkers full of water still. The Pro Shop reckoned it was going to play as a rated course - I sincerely hope so as my round yesterday should have dropped me down to around 15.5 and is normally processed automatically through the electronic system.

Double post

[davepuppies]

I am currently on 12.0, my goal is to be on 9 before christmas. i have reduced my handicap from 18 to 12.0 since jan this year, however a long long time ago i was a 2 marker.......

I think a single digit (even high - 8/9) is respectable enough these days for me.

Update - currently sitting on a handicap of 5. I would love to drop to 3 or 4, but i know this requires a lot of practice as my course has a ACR of 2 less than par, so requires consistent scores of 2 over, and i dont have the full time game for it currently.

Geez, you are a glutton for punishment!

[BroKar]

Only started playing again after 12 years in June July 2010, started Jan 2011 on 24, now down to 16 with the goal being 12 by the end of the year, my end goal is single figures.

What's your playing/practice pattern during that time? eg. comp once a week & practice twice a week?
