OT : GOLF / What's your handicap ?

Darkiller · 07-05-2004, 05:29 AM

I'm 27.
Was 36 two months ago so happy.
I'd like to finish the year around 25-26.

you ?

Northwood_DK · 07-05-2004, 06:13 AM

I’m down to 19.6 now. I have played 12 rounds this year and finished with more then 30 but less the 36 points 11 times.

I shoot in the 90's. My driving ability is my strongest asset, straight and consistant. The parts of golf that are actually important (Chipping and Putting) are my weak links. I can recover my chipping ability over time but I've never been any good at putting.

My handicap is that I can't hit the fucking ball.

Marmel · 07-05-2004, 09:39 AM

scratch

Don't know my handicap, I am like Dutch though.

I can drive straight, but not to far (250, my longest with the bounce was like 314 once). So I am left with my Irons, which I flat out suck at.

I can put ok, it's the iron game that kills me.

Darkiller · 07-05-2004, 09:43 AM

I hit a 93 yesterday, which is I believe -to date and in a competition-, my single best performance.

Kind of cool to see that Handicap going down week after week :-)

MacroGuru · 07-05-2004, 09:44 AM

I have actually yet to golf this year, football and work has managed to kill that. Now it's work and working out that is going to do it.

However, I do work across from a golf course, so I am thinking at lunch, of going over and hitting a bucket of balls everyday.

I used to play golf in high school and I was down to a 6 for about 2 years, but when I went away to college and actually had to start paying to play, I played alot less. Whenever Vince and I go out, I usually shoot low to mid 80s still though, so I guess I'm about a 12 or so (I haven't figured my handicap out in like 5 years).

Vince · 07-05-2004, 04:35 PM

I've never kept good track of my handicap, and it's been a while since Josh (pennywisesb) and I hit the links. I usually shoot just under 100, so I guess I'm about a 25.

So it's a close game, right guys?

My handicap is that I can't find the ball after I hit it.

bbor · 07-05-2004, 04:52 PM

MizzouRah · 07-05-2004, 05:27 PM

Golf is the one and only thing I concede to Joshy.

My wife. She won't let me play enough.

Everytime out there Vince thinks he's gonna beat me, but he just can't hang under pressure

Isn't that right Mr. Slice?

LOL!

finkenst · 07-05-2004, 08:18 PM

i went and played a par3 course (9 hole. ppitch&putt). longest hole was like 90 yards...

i hit a pitching wedge about 70 yards on a flat trajectory.. fun, but yikes!

nilodor · 07-06-2004, 05:33 PM

I'm a 10 but I'd imagine that would improve if I could get out more than 6 to 10 times a year. Bloody snow, it almost snowed here on sunday, perfect day to be sitting in the bleachers at the football game.

VPI97 · 07-06-2004, 05:40 PM

I was a scratch golfer when I was a teenager, but one day when I was out playing ('93) I realized that a) no one ever perfects the game, much less me and b) I wasn't having any fun playing the game...I was only on the course because it was something I was good at. After that realization, I walked off the course mid-hole and have never played since.
