How well do you track your handicap on GolfShake?

Just been looking to see how many cards i have entered into the system since the begining of the year and counted 15 rounds so far this year, which is nearly one a week!

A) Did not realise i was playing that much golf!

B) Does that mean your handicap is a fair reflection of how you are playing?

So my question is, who has entered the most cards into the system since the 1st January and is that persons handicap improving or not?

That's easy is will be Darren Atkinson he plays like 5 times a week and logs all his.

Bit of a light-weight me then, have tracked 13 rounds, 3 muck-around ones with the locals here, 1 at the Abbey, 5 in the Algarve and 4 matchplays (but it was a bad winter).  So only 26.  Some people probably do that in a month (Dave Roth?).

Having said that I think my current handicap is a fair reflection of how I'm playing considering that 8 of the tracked rounds have been on courses that I'd never played before. 

I would say that you are better than your current handicap, Tim. the improvement you have made has been pretty impressive.

Thanks John, think I'm finally managing to get all the mechanics of my swing right (that's just the way I am), not trying to shape the ball or anything fancy just concentrating on hitting it straight.  Slightly frustrated as well, because I know I've got a sub 80 in me somewhere, but I'm patient..

David Roth and Russ Middleton manage to find time for 3 rounds a week, check out profiles here - http://www.golfshake.com/community/playerspotlight/

Tim, well done on the handicap drop, it's about time you were better than just a bogey golfer!

I should track all my rounds but find if I have a mare I am so disgusted with myself that the scorecard is ripped into a hundred little shreds and I have gone to the bar to wonder why I love this game!

Anything I can do eh Hawkins.  You're determined to keep track with me aren't you

Have you had that weird "Oh bugger, I don't get a shot on this hole!" feeling for the first time yet?

Nah, only just gone down Chris - we'll see the next time out...

I've played 63 rounds of golf so far this year.

This number doesn't include any matchplay games I've played or the one round that I played today and didn't keep my score, playing the monthly midweek medal and failed to score on a hole so can't put the score in!

At the beginning of this year my handicap was 14 (13.8 exact)

During this period of time I have managed to get my handicap down to 11 (10.9), this was at the beginning of February.

My handicap today is 12 (12.3), not surprising as I've not been playing my best golf for the last four or five weeks!

So yes, I have played plenty of golf and I have reduced my handicap, if only by 1.5 shots during this time.
