My handicap keeps going up like the temperature.

The last revision I went up to 15.9 if it revised today it'd be 16.6.
Crazy game but I love it.

Sandbagging?

Sandbagging?

No not at all.

I'm sorry to hear that , then. I remember when I still kept a handicap, every time I would post a really low score I would invariably screw up the next two or three rounds. I could never seem to get it to go down much at all. I think that might be part of the reason I don't keep one anymore.

I know it can be super frustrating at times, but hang in there, after a few good rounds it'll go back down.

Sometimes I think golfers are never happy. We complain that our game is falling apart when our handicaps go up; we complain that we cannot play to our handicap when it goes down. Wah, wah, wah.

And I do it too.

Just go pro. Then you won't have to ever think about handicaps again.

I noticed that my handicap had been going up recently as well. I took a closer look at the courses I was posting scores on. I thought I was playing pretty good but it turns out that the slope of the courses are much lower than the course I play the most, so the "good" score I posted doesnt looj as good as my "bad" scores on harder courses. if that makes sense...

Have you been practicing?
