Or he could do it in 7 or 8 good rounds of golf within less than 2 months?! You never know, it could take one guy a full season of good golf, could take another guy 6 weeks of good golf ya know? Im not off 18 anymore aul son, won comp 2 weeks ago and was cut to 16.

And I don't expect u to find 16 much more difficult than 18 Tonesy, but once u hit 13/14ish then all of a sudden that wild leftie 110mph swing that sends the ball into a bush every now and then will damage ur card when before you had enough shots on your handicap to recover, you'll understand what im talking about when the time comes.

Tones you have started well anyway. Best of luck and I know 'Im not you' but having done what you set out to achieve, albeit over a few years I'll be the first to congratulate you but would be well impressed and surprised if you can do it.

I was hoping to get to 9 and stay there at the start of the year, currently 9.5 with a small babba but I'm playing well and would really like to make an assault on 7 without putting in too much practice. Tall order but have it in me. Finishing the year on 8 would still be nice.

Pacly

Went from 17 to 12 last summer, back out to 13 by the end of the year.
Dropped to 12.2 already this year, finally getting used to playing at that level consistently. Definately aiming for single figures. I dont have a set target, just as low as possible.

Tones, I have shot +8,+9,+10 on a few occasions over the years however to do it consistently is a different thing. I wish you well but I think what Redzah said is sound advice.

Also, generally speaking shooting +8 +9 +10 wont get you to single figures. You're gonna get 0.1's so you need to have a few +5 +6 thrown in. (unless CSS at your course is exceptionally high)

I know that, +11 was my best round a few weeks ago, now ive +8 for 18 and a few +10's/+11_s etc , and ive 6 months to do it dude not 6 weeks , my aim is to hit 13 by may, 9 by sep. i feel right now i could comfortably play to 12, just a matter of stringing a few good comps together now, anywho on with the thread!

Big difference between placing and play as you lie.

Glad to hear it that. Courses this time of year are playing the hardest.still cold. Tee boxes moved back but no run on the ball (parkland) and if you don't hit the fairway you have a muck ball or plugged. So +8 is not bad at all.
What your are trying to do is very possible just not probable.

Yeah i hear ya, was hitting a lot of fairways but the short game was on form and was gettin a good few up and downs. We'l give it a lash and see anyway, as long as im able to play some tasty golf il be happy!

Nothing is impossible.......... but it's still a big ask.

Off 20 want to get down to 16. A cut early in the year would give me a good chance of this,the longer the '1s keeping adding up the more browned off with the game I'll get.
Need to hit the range twice a week and get the long game in order to have any chance of it though.

I believe once your able to keep your drives in play then the rest is pitching and putting, if you can do that and putt about 30-32 times a round ul fly down to 16. Practice time for me now divided into 80% short game and 20% long game

I hear ya Tones and that's where my troubles lie. I've a good short game and would be confident of taking 3 or less from inside 120 yards-it's my favorite part of the game too.
Put me on any par 4 or 5 box though it's a different story:rolleyes: Put it this way, myself and another boardsie went out for a game today- I teed off on the first-OOB left!
Continued on to finish the round and back to the car park when we sees an aul lad picking my ball off the car park yard at an acute angle from the first tee:o

I'm 10.7 at the moment after dropping from 18 over the past 3 summers... my goal has always been single figures... so thats my aim 9.4! It won't be easy but if I can improve my driving and irons to same level as my chipping and putting I will be ok

2 non qualifying comps so far and i have been very consistant..115th and 115th:D Loads of potential.... did I say 9.4....... maybe 19.4!

Won singles with 40 pts and that got me to 12.6 and had 68 in the first medal at the weekend so now 12.1 so down 3 shots (2.6).Was here before and i know it gets harder

Great run, well done. Were any of those scores 4 ( or more) under the CSS? If so, the new exceptional scores cut might become a factor. Basically once you beat CSS by 4+ a couple of times you can be in line for an extra (automatic) cut - the extra amount depends on the average of your good scores, how quickly you put those rounds together and what category you're in. On the phone here do not going to link to it but worth a look...

Thats great shooting.Fair play.You'll be single figures before half the year is up at that rate.Best of luck with it

So my aim was 14 for the year....and now I'm scratch !!!!

Golfnet error of course and that's as close as I'll ever get I reckon :rolleyes:

Mission accomplished, have gone from 13.8 to 7.6 so very happy with the golf this year even despite the brutal weather. Just typical however that the Irish Independent/GUI are not running the Most Improved Golfer competition this year, would have liked to see if I'd have made the final.

Well done,
thats very impressive.
my own ambition for the year was to get down to 2,started the year at3.1, right now im 3.7 and rising:mad:
playing pretty close to the worst golf i can remember so more likely to finish the year closer to 5:(

Danny dyers double

Great thread . I'll use this to keep track of my own game .

Im playing since Easter myself . I get out at least once a week some times twice . I'v joined a society and am going on my first outing on Saturday and was giving a handicap of 26 .

I have being scoring my points of 28 and my best score so far is 29 . I got this in grange castle last Friday BUT played Dublin City on Sat and only managed 19 but this was all down to my putting which is usually not to bad but Saturday I lost all confidence in it .

My Aim for this time next year would be to consitintly scoring in the 30s from what ever handicap I'm playing of

Thats fantastic work. Care to share insights, reflections, advice, drills, strategies......anything useful to those whose aim is a little more modest than losing 5 shots in the first half of the year!

AdpRo

Lost 5 shots lasts summer to get to 16.3, knew I wouldn't get much practice in the winter or be playing very regularly this year (new baby!!) so main aim was to finish the year still at 16, 5 qualifying comps so far, 0.1's in the first 2 to hit 17 but have managed to get in the buffer zone for the last 3 which is an improvement! Will be playing most weekends for the next few weeks so hopefully can get it back to 16 before the summer is out!

alxmorgan

Most of my cuts this year are coming in stroke events. Anyone else finding them easier to get cut in ?.

I'm thinking its because I'm more likely to be consistent and avoid big numbers than I am to go low with the former suiting stroke more

Wichita Lineman

I was playing off 18 in March and am now down to 13 which is 2 shots better than my target and my lowest ever handicap.

No handicap yet but the club I will join will give me 16 no matter how my card's look (well unless I shoot very low ) Will no doubt drift up to 18 but would hope to be able to play off 16 by end of the year. Intend on playing and practising a lot this year.

Heading up having been given 15.5 to start. Tbh that really was not a fair reflection and I have suffered as a result. Have come to realise I'm probably 19 or 20 handicapper.

cant score in a open competition to save my life. Sickens me!

Tonesy, we've resolved our differences but you're still learning the trade and 12 to 8 is ambitious and will require a very good season of golf to achieve. 18 to 9 is another level up. Both are archieveable but difficult. You'll come to realise this as soon as those extra shots ur carrying disappear and u hit a plateau at 13/14 and all those prizes u have won off 18 are no longer rolling in the door. U will then hopefully kick on.

Mission accomplished, with a lot of time to spare. If i can play to 9 consistent for the rest of the season il be v happy, get practicing over winter agani and who knows what could happen next year :d Looking forward to it now, by the way this feckin weather sucks lately!!

Ha how long did it take you to think of that Love it

Quahog217

Currently 7.5, would love to get to 6.0 by the end of the year.

Laziness is my biggest problem. Have started to work on my short game the last few weeks, got a lesson which helped.

Need to iron out a few swing flaws now with a few lessons. Its so hard to get in good practice with the weather! :mad:

Going to driving later, hate hitting of mats but too wet to go play

evillive

ok - having started the year off 17.7 i am out to 18.6 after 16 qualifying events only .1s or no change to the handicap in that time (my lowest handicap has been 16.6)

after a disastrous year with that problem which shall not be named i accepted i needed help and went for lessons with immediate effect - i have always driven the ball well but consistency from there was the problem

so now after a handful of net 2/3/4 over par rounds in the past month, i hit a net level par in the monthly medal at the weekend, i was net 3 under against my handicap after 11 knowing that the leader in the clubhouse was reportedly 4 under, now that didn't affect my play i was just inconsistent from there, the 5 pars i got were textbook and nothing worse than a double bogey, i finished 9th in the end

so 18.6 now, practicing loads and happy with my game, playing in an open in mount wolseley tomorrow, looking for 16 by end of year, with a view to shaving more off next year

6 shots in fact but the target was a years ambition and it's just that I succeeded with some time to spare partly due to the help of the new ESR system which accounted for a 1.0 cut. In terms of insights and strategies I don't think I've anything profound to add and that hasn't been posted before but below is an outline of the approach I took.

I took 4 long game lessons in monthly intervals over the winter to try and help develop a more consistent and solid swing while having things to work on. However as inconsistent as my long game was it was my short game that was really costing me shots with multiple 3 putts and often multiple pitches and chips as well. I didn't get any short game lesson but spent a good while of the winter practising the Ultimate Practice Routine as posted in the below forum which I learnt about here on boards.
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/93/golf/ultimate-practice-routine-992787/

The first time I tried the 25 in a row from 3 feet it took me nearly 2hrs and produced a sore stiff back so that was enough of short game practice that day. On subsequent occasions I tried the lag putting and was ok from 20 feet and after a few attempts from 30 feet eventually succeeded but I've not yet been able to accomplish the 20 in a row from 45 feet despite how often I tried. I guess the beauty of the Ultimate Practice Routine is that it shows up your weakness and for me it's short putts and longer distance lag putts and hence the number of 3 putts I achieve.

Another area I worked and work on is trying to improve distance control from 100 yards and in with a wedge. It's an ongoing process but definitely improving over time. I'd try hitting 20 balls to a target from 40, 60, 80 and 100 yards while focusing on the distance trying to maintain a solid positive strike. Pitching and chipping is a problem also and my biggest flaw was decelerating and hitting the ground leaving the ball half way towards the green or instead pitching it into a bunker much to my frustration. Now I instead try and visualise the shot before hand and then just concentrate on hitting a positive and solid shot.

Most importantly and the biggest reward is that I enjoy the game alot more and most of it is to do with a change in attitude. I was putting alot of pressure on myself trying to improve and when things didn't go as planned I used to occasionally loose the rag and the round and even subsequent rounds used to go to pot. Everyone hits poor shots and now after such a shot of course I'll curse myself etc but I've a better ability to put it behind me and focus on how best to relieve the situation whether it's a hack back onto the fairway or a more adventurous shot. I guess damage control and more confidence in my short game to recover has helped improve my scores and my handicap has subsequently reduced as a result.

Hope the above helps achieve some targets and further increases your enjoyment of and enthusiasm for the sport

Was temped to say stay at 16 for year with 2 under 2 at home and again tempted to say stay at 14 now but hey let's go crazy and set new goal of 12

Need to hit more GIR and putt better and continue to stay out of trouble off tee.

As in setting a target not managing. Only considered setting low sights due to not being able to get out much hence the 2 under 2 comment

Joined my 1st club this year, shot 100,102 and 96. Was giving a handicap of 24. On my 1st comp scored 36 points and played d my best ever game and won d comp. played about 6 more comps and dropped a couple of .1s before getting another win. 4 months in and with playing 5/6 times per week I'm off 14.4. Been hanging on from going back to 15. Think wen I get my new clubs hitting well I'll get to 12 my target I set last month. My mates can't get over my drop but I just love my new hobby and I just keep improving. Could barely hit a 200 yard drive. Now smacking it up to 270. Wat a game, wish I took it up years ago.

My cards were 108, 110, 113 and I was given 18 so 24 seems generous.
But fair play for the drop.
Although 5/6 times a week :eek: ....win the lotto or something ?
