Post your current handicap


Recommended Posts

For those who don't won't to pay for Handicap through GHIN, the Grint app calculates a handicap for you through a free membership and I "think" it is technically official because the place you in a "local club" but even if not official it's nice having a handicap to get an idea of where you are.

 

 

Knoxville, TN. 6HDCP, TM R11S driver. G25 3 wood, burner Rescue. Ping I irons, Rac 52,56,60 & 2ball odyssey putter

I believe once The Grint matches you to a club, you are official. That's what their website says. A "club" doesn't have to be brick & mortar.

I wish the MGS site would permit those of us above a 10 index to post the decimals.  One of the other sites, dare I say G***W**, which seems to use essentially the same software, allows this.  I've gone from 17.1 to 12.4 in last 9 months, but MGS will only allow me to post the whole number index.

I guess three 74's in the last 4 rounds takes a toll on the handicap. Good news is I'm playing some of the best golf I've ever played. Handicap dropped from 5.2 to an all time low for me of 3.8. Bad news is that match play started last week and I now I'm giving up 2 extra strokes I could have gotten in the first round if I had played the match before today.

Nice work on the handicap. Must be nice to play the same track over and over and over again lol! I could drop to that too. Had to give you a hard time!!

No doubt, you still have to hit the shots, but I figure just knowing the greens is saving me a few strokes a round at a minimum.

I'm now 12.5 month ago 15.7. If I ever start hitting more GIRs I'd drop to dingle digits. Just changed my 3w and hitting so well should be able to get more.

I'm a 10.1 and climbing. Mostly due to not being able to drive or putt.

I feel like a scratch player when I get to the course, but once I hit off the first tee I wake up and realize I'm about a 15 . Don't really keep a real handicap but my average score is in the mid eighties. I did shoot 72 and 79 once, it felt so surreal to break 80...everything just clicked on that day, all my putts were on line and dropping. This is the reason I live and breathe golf.

If you shoot in the mid-80's, you are more likely an 11-12.

Just got back into actually tracking handicap the last month or so on the Grint app. I only have about 8 scores entered and 4 of them are tourneys where I hit it like a dog but I went from 8.8 to 7.1.

Hanging flat in the 11 range (down to 11.1 down from 11.4). Have had a couple sub 80 rounds in the past but seem to now be finding ways to throw a triple in there to ensure I shoot an 81/82 when shooting well...I think I need a session with Dr. Rotella!

On June 1 I dropped below 9 for the first time...  8.8

Today's revision... 8.6

 

However, if the way I played a nine-hole practice round today is any indication, I could be back above 9 very soon!

Mine is currently 4.9.  I was 4.8 at the June 1 Revision and posted two scores - 78,76.  The 78 knocked out a 72 but the 76 was almost its equivalent handicap wise - hence only a slight uptick.

 

I wish that I had more time to work on my game.  The next couple of weeks won't be so great for me.  I have a conference that I will be attending where I will be preaching six times - that's a lot of work.  I'm free come July 1st been then I'm done at Bayou too.  :(
