Counting Rounds 2023

bobster453

Just wondering how many counting rounds for WHI people played this year and how it impacted on your HC

If you play more does it decrease or increase more?

I played 34 11 away..23 home..and went from 14.8 to 16.2.

High of 18.1

Not great but could be worse

plumber77

Played 28 rounds, 18 home, 10 away. Went from 6.7 to 6.2.

High of 6.7, low of 5.1

Slow year for me.

26

9.8 and finished 7.6 with a low of 6.8

El Guapo!

A lot fewer than I actually thought. A combination of work, family, and poor weather made it tough to get out at times.

12 counting rounds. Probably the same again in non-counting.

Started the year at 28.5 and finished at 18.5

paulos53

47 rounds. 29 at home, 18 away. Started the year at 8.2, finished at 10.1

Low of 7.7 & high of 10.9.

22 counting, going by arccos had 61 rounds total (a lot more then I thought). Started year 20.1, finished 19.0 with low of 18.6.

23 qualifying

11 home / 12 away.

Very frustrating, as was mentioned in another thread I felt like my ball picked up mud all year round outside of the 2 home rounds during June where I happened to play well.

Start 5.5 (5.5 this was also the low point)

End 6.7 (6.9 was highest throughout the year)

26 qualifying

3 away / 23 home

played alot of matchplay golf this year again, had a run to final of the club matchplay and we had a good run in the jimmy bruen. Certainly the year where I had the best rounds of my life but also some of the worst. The variance in my record is kinda crazy considering I am a very steady enough golfer.

Started: 8.0

Finished: 5.9

Highest: 9.2, Lowest: 5.4

Only played 16 counting rounds this year! Will be looking to double that next year. Getting married this summer got in the way of golfing, that and the atrocious weather. I'd say 6-7 of those counting rounds had lift, clean and place in play on the fairways. 11 rounds at home and 5 away.

High HC of 10.4 at the start of year.

Low HC of 9.2 at the end.

Can't complain with a 1.2 reduction.

Really hoping next year isn't as wet as 2023!

The one away round I had is counting. But this year in general, I just felt very consistent with my golf. only 4 of my 19 rounds have a Stroke Differential above 10, so it just feels like a really solid year all round. Home Course familiarity and having preferred lies on the fairways for most of the summer definitely helped

After loosing my Dad last Christmas, decided I would take some time out of work and play as much as I could. Looked at my rounds this morning and I have 75 counting rounds in 2023, so I guess I full filled my own brief 😂.

Started the year at 10.3 (probably a bit too high for me) at 7.4 at the moment.

Doubt I’ll play half as many rounds in 2024.

Amazing achievement @Golfgraffix 👏 What dreams are made off! Mine anyway 😂 I wish I had took up Golf as a kid and spent my summers on the courses! Unfortunately for me I only found the love for the game when I moved to the country! suppose it was more access able than..

A really bad year for me in General never mine Golf but Im still standing! Plus feel a really good year ahead.

Only 19 qualifying rounds for me

Started at 17.3

Finished at 17.3 😂

High of 18.3

Low of 17.3 so happy with that

Only 21 counting rounds this year. A lot of other things got in the way...football/weather/injury etc, so hope to get 30+ in this year.

Started - 18.4

Finished - 15.2

Highest index - 19.1

Lowest - 15.2

Was down to 15.3 by mid June and then 15.2 and stayed there. Only had 5 counting rounds from August onwards when both my golf form and interest had taken a nosedive.

slingerz

24 of which 6 were away

started 10.3 finished 9.2

Mantis Toboggan

Played 8 counting.

2 home 6 away

Hopefully get to double digits next year. Started the year at 14.8 and finished at 14.2 so slowly trending the right way despite playing very little and no practice.

big_drive

Only 2 counting rounds I'm afraid, both at home. Handicap remained at 4.4

Counting Rounds: 19

Starting WHI: 11.6

Low WHI: 10.4

Final WHI: 11.9

I thought that I played more counting rounds. However, I did play plenty more competitive golf. All of winter/spring which weren't counting. Also, a few interclub matches and practice days. If you told me in May/June when I was trending down that I'd finish up higher than January, I would have laughed at the notion. Tbf it was a horrendous run in Summer/Autumn. No doubt I'll drop into the 10ish range next year but trying to break to single figures will be real aim.

High: 14.6

Low: 12.0

A real year to forget. 2022 was great and was looking forward to getting even lower.

Handicap up by nearly 3 shots and will likely get even worse. Run of great scores all falling off atm.

Game is all over the place. Mostly pure muck, but occasional glimpes of a good golfer. 2024 will have to be better couldn't be much worse than 2023.

billy3sheets

22 counting rounds, well down from 36 in 2022. 4 away, mainly society.

Started on 12.6, went out to 15.7 by August, mostly due to a few good rounds from 2022 falling off. Tidied things up and played well again, bringing it back to 14.0 at the end.

Squeezed one last round in to bring me to 24, with 8 away.

Out on the Jameson Links, in an absolute gale on the 28th. Played well. A final tiny cut to 6.6

Should have been a PCC of minimum 2, but our group were probably the only ones mad enough to put in counting rounds on the day, so not enough for the calc, so stuck with a pcc of 0, and a good round that would have looked much better if it was a proper calc in place
