Boards.ie Golf Handicap Index 2015

New Year, Fresh Start and a reminder of why we do this...

This is something we have done on boards.ie for the past 2 years and its a nice way to track your handicap progress.

All you need to do is post your username, 2015 starting handicap, 2015 goal, current exact handicap and the date you are posting your update.
Then as changes occur throughout the year post your update in the same format.

I will post a new table with updates to handicaps at the top of each new page.

It's also good for rivalry and railing if your close in handicap to other boards users, trying to get ahead of them, or not letting them get ahead of you

As GoldenJohn said in the last post of the 2013 thread, " Can we get a year end update of the table so i know what i have to do to get in the top 50 as part of my 2014 goals."

That's what its all about. Setting yourself targets for the year ahead and giving you something to aim for

Some stats from 2014

Of the 82 member who posted their details, 61 people achieved an overall reduction of their handicap, with 23 people bettering their handicap goal.

That's a brilliant success for the forum as a whole.

Of the 61 people who did achieve a reduction, the top 5 biggest losers by percentage of handicap lost were ::

5. denisoc16 - 39% reduction in handicap
4. tones69 - 42% reduction in handicap
3. Shane007 - 47% reduction in handicap
2. Seorg - 50% reduction in handicap
1. galwaylad14 - 57% reduction in handicap


He may not have missed his goal by the greatest margin, but for going in the complete opposite direction in an hilarious fashion, Our Hall of Shame "winner" for this season goes to....
