My handicap on GHIN today changed not for the better, but my skillset overall has been continuously improving because I have been experimenting a lot and discovering how to improve various short game and long game strokes with more field experience. My GHIN handicap was updated today and it gives me the following history:
May 1 – 29.8
May 15 – 30.4
June 1 – 32.7
June 15 – 32.7 (no change because I didn’t play 18 rather a lot of 9 holes)
Another reason why is because I played multiple balls to re-do shots since I was a beginner and I wasn’t counting those strokes; however, I didn’t do that and actually counted those strokes as well because that is what will happen when I’m in tournament play.
Well, today, I went to CGCC and attended the booze stations because Lee’s Liquor Store was sponsoring a tournament. After that, Adam and I went to TPC Vegas for lunch. Followed by going to Go Low Golf, where I hit a video-game golf range for 4 hours.
9,791 remain. Random stat: Today, I collected my first batch of recorded strokes on all my clubs using a video game system to compare my distances with each club to averages of PGA Tour players and LPGA players. I had a lot of times where I could out-drive the averages on the irons, but not using my driver yet; however below are the comparative scores:
PGA Tour Pro Averages: (all in Yards)
Driver – 289 and carries 269 (LPGA: 246 – carries 220)
3 Wood – 243 (LPGA: 218 – carries 195)

7 Wood – (LPGA: 174)
3 Hybrid – 225 (LPGA: Unknown)
3 Iron – 212 (LPGA: Unknown)
