I gained and lost a course handicap stroke in the course of 48 hours.
I went from 6 to 7 to 8 over the course of 8 weeks, and the 7 to 8 took only one round posted to do it. Then the next round took me back down to 7. I was looking forward to having that 8th pop on Wednesday. I guess I'm not a very good sandbagger.
I just had my 3 best rounds of the year fall off the back end of the 20 rounds, and that's why my index shot up quickly. Now I just had 2 sub-80s, so the roller coaster is going back down.
My actual index went from 9.2 to 11.2 in the 8 weeks, and now 10.7. When they switched to this system of daily handicap changes, at first I thought it was smart. Now it seems kind of dumb. I'm the same guy each week. Some weeks I play better and some worse, but I still have the same potential. I dunno.
