Had a big break through recently, with scores of 76 and an even par 71 () round in the last week. It was unreal. But I also mixed in an 83 and an 84 in there too to even things out. Regardless, the low scores helped me make a big jump b from 9.0 to a new low of 6.6!

An even par round is going to keep that thing dropping fast! Amazing job

Never too late for improvement and goals. Never.

No worry there. Lots of room for improvement and several goals!

It’s been a wild run for me this year. I got my index down to 3.8 in the spring and was playing great golf. However, the wheels fell off and my index ballooned to over 7. I got things figured out and am playing great again. My index currently is at 4.8 and I am hopeful to see it get back down in the 3’s before year’s end.

I've not quite had as wild of a ride but got to 7.4 and currently back up to 8.9. Been working on swing though so hopefully getting things figured out.

Dropped again after shooting 76 and a string of 80's and 81's. Now down to 7.0. Almost 30% reduction.

I am certainly enjoying the current trend, however the season is also winding down....

I don’t know how I missed this, Dan. This is totally awesome! It makes me happy.

Something tells me that he would pound me if we had a rematch. And it makes me happy too!

It would be epic to watch and sounds like it would be a battle to the end.

No need to watch! Come play

My index will be down to 4.3 tomorrow, after shooting a 70 today. I am having a fortunate hot streak as the season begins to wind down.

M2Giles · Sep 12, 2020

I'm down to 7.3 now. Hoping some consistency holds through the fall

Daluteh · Sep 13, 2020

My first few times out when I started playing were shot in the 150 to 160 range. I'm down to the 120 or so numbers now. Being a little dramatic I cut 40 shots off in one season, without context pretty darn impressive!

@Tenputt are you tracking this? Can't remember what I declared to begin.

I am not tracking it. I am far too lazy to do that.

. People will have to self report.

It's all good. I just need to soft through the first few pages to find out where I started.

Count me in at 11.

I came in a -11. Sitting at -9.2 now. Went the wrong direction initially.

Tenputt · Sep 17, 2020

We will tally this up at the end of October.

Daluteh · Sep 17, 2020

Over all of my rounds, and this is just app data, I average 50.3 over par with my par 3 averaging 5 shots, par 4 averaging 6.9 and par 5 average of 8.1.

I have not shot a double digit hole in the last 5 rounds (this month), and have gotten one par average and 4 bogeys average. Best round on record is 109.

For being so terrible on paper, the game sure is fun.
