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.

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.

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 :-)

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).

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. :)

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

Everytime out there Vince thinks he's gonna beat me, but he just can't hang under pressure ;) Isn't that right Mr. Slice? :eek:

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.

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.
