@acaseofthegolf1 Back to the everyday world 5 of the 6 best scores in my handicap are next up for renewal. If I don't improve I will hit the hard cap harder than an anvil hits Wile E. Coyote. Don't need a new club or swing. Just a new brain.

Played better today so no increase, rather a 0.3 decrease in handicap.

The tariff on my handicap after last round was 0.7. If I don't score at least 33 pts next round it is an additional 0.6. And they say the price of eggs is bad.

Of the upcoming 8 eight rounds 5 are used in calculating my handicap. I need 38 points next round to not gain a stroke. 31 points or less and I get 0.9 more in handicap. In july the hard cap will go up 0.6, shortly after my handicap will follow. Yikes.

Yikesies. Another bad round and now I've hit the soft cap exactly at the number. The only thing I've hit all year in golf.

Yesterday I hit 4-5 decent drives. The rest was abysmal. Utter rubbish. Still scored 34 points due to finding the ball and hitting good second shots and putting phenomenally. Handicap still going up by 0.2. Can't go up next round.

Due to the strange intricacies of the soft cap, it seems that I might go up .1 if I score 33 or less poins.

The intricacies weren't that strange. 29 and didn't go up. 2 of the next three rounds to disappear from the last 20 are counting including the best from all. Chuck Yeager was perhaps faster when he broke the sound barrier, but he didn't hit it as hard as I will hit the hard cap.

Trying something new. Leaving the driver, 3-wood and 4-wood in the locker in an attempt to trick my brain into believing I can hit many good shots in a row. It'd go better than expected, 29, +.1, Still a lot of hard work. Next round is a freebie then 3 of the better ones go.

The new tactics has helped on one thing, not losing balls. Had the same ball for more than 2 rounds now. Still play quite badly. 27, bus as it was a freebie, no change in handicap. But it has to get worse before it gets better, right? Right? Right?

And it has gone worse, much worse. A measley 21 points, somehow it seemed like I lost a bit of distance, doubt it was only the wind. +.7. Yikesies.

Somewhat better 34 pts, -.2. Long game felt like it could improve and get more stable now, short game a bit off today. Funny I think I forgot something important, can't think of it right now, oh, got it now, made a hole-in-one on the 10th, my first ace.

Played horribly today. +.3. Long game fell apart, short game a bit more off.
