Dropped down a full point on this revision to 8.5, and had a good round today so I'm already trending to 8.2. I was 12 a year ago and I'm really happy with my progress.
Congrats! Mine is creeping back up; some low differentials from late last fall fell off and I've been playing poorly the last 3 weeks. Hope to get it together as I have two member/guests in the next few weeks.
somebody's got to be last, right? can't find the fairway and can't find the green...other than that everything else is just hunky-dory. average round is ~7-8 pars or birdies and the rest of the holes get me to a 15 HC.
on the plus side my jeckyl/hyde game has been crushing in our weekly team games. typically for each hole its 1 point for the best of the two low scores and 1 point for the best of the two highs; and also 1 point each for birdies, KPs on par 3s (if you par or better), sandy pars, sandzie pars, and chip ins. $2 per point and winner always buys the first round. the ideal value play is to lose by one point and pay $2 for a beer or cocktail....the actual situation for the past several weeks is winning numerous points, buying the losers a beer and still having money left over. last weekend was an example where the two teams were evenly matched, no strokes given, and we won by 12 point.
