Handicaps are on the rise

I realize I've been delinquent in providing you fresh and interesting golfnoise material. And for that I'm forever apologetic. As a matter of fact, I've had very little on-course link time this summer. I admit it. I've been really busy with other non-golf activities.

What could be more important than golf you ask? Well perhaps I'll cover that in a future post. Suffice to say I've had a busy summer ...off the course.

So what happens to your game when you don't play? That's an easy one. It evaporates, drifts and suffers. That's the friendly way I've been refering to my game. To the few whom I have shared a round with, they just look with wonder on how the simple shots can go so far off line and into the skraggle. 

What's an angry and frustrated golfer to do? Grin and bear it, of course. Golf can be a wicked mistress when she's not regularly tended to. But the punishment for my absence seems so severe. The scorecard tally grows with reckless abandon. Cash literally flies out of my wallet and lands decisively in my opponent's. It's just not right!

Time to rise above the sub humanity of inadequate execution. I'm signing up for a lesson or two. I'm in dire need of some fresh swing thoughts.

I'll explain to my future golf redemptor that I need help in just a few areas. I need some driver consistency as well some long iron work. I also need some middle iron assistance and some help with pitching and chipping. Oh and I could use a good deal of putting advice.

Hmmm. That doesn't leave much meat on the bone, now does it?

So what's happened to your handicap this year. Give us a shout and tell us all about it!

[5 IRON]

Interestingly, the outcomes of the 8 bit bets amongst my friendly golf opponents, seems to have little if no connection with the ups or downs of my handicap, rather it tracks indirectly with theirs (handicap). That is to say, as their handicap is dropping, I tend to loose more often, and the opposite as their handicaps rise.

To answer the question, my handicap has gone up slightly.

And that is as handicaps should be, 5 iron. I suppose mine has gone up in some sort of direct proportion to my lack of time spent on the course.

I intend to correct that. Ahhh... Fall golf is here!

When I'm stuck in the non-golf world for weeks at a time, the first thing to go for me is my putting. I recently picked up the Champion's Edition Putting Arc (putting-arc.com) and keep it at the office, and sometimes at home as well. It's already helping me stay sharp, and I'm sure my putting stroke won't be half as embarrassing as it usually is after I haven't played for a while. Now if only I could find a way back to the course...

I really enjoyed reading your post here and I just wanted to tell you that I totally agree with what you’re saying! It’s hard to find people that think alike these days.

In regards to playing in the scorching heat... NEVER AGAIN. A few weeks ago I had the "pleasure" of what it is like to play 18 holes in Hell. In a couple of tee shots I thought "the ball looks like a puffy cloud" as the sweat rolled into the iris of my eyeballs. After the round was played, (the highest score in years) I went home to my bride who asked "how'd it go, honey?" I replied, "next time I go out to play in this heat, I will stay home with you, give you sixty bucks to sweat my putter off, and have a greater chance of a "hole-in-one"... She replied, "keep golfing..."
