Can I become a single handicap?
April 4, 2008 - 3:11pm — Todd Abeln
That's my goal this summer. To drop my golf handicap down into the single digits. Right now, I'm not that far off of that goal. I finished last year with a handicap of 10.6. I figure that if I can come out of the gates playing well that number should get below 10 and into the single digits. If I do start out well and do drop my handicap the hard thing will be to maintain all summer long and finish the season with a single handicap. Just a couple of years ago, I finished the season with a 14 handicap.Its been dropping ever since and hopefully I can continue that trend. If I am going to get into the single digits, I have to get better on and around the greens. I am pretty good from tee to green. Get me around the greens and I am a mental case. It has gotten better. My putting is better than it was but it is still bad (that should tell you how bad I was at putting).Chipping needs to get better. Better equipment would probably help but I am coming into the season with the same equipment I ended last year with.

Back to page topI'm so bad at golf that I don't even know what a handicap is. How do you figure out your handicap?

Back to page topI’ve got a pretty basic understanding of the handicap system in golf, too, but I’m also hoping to bring my golf score down – my disc golf score. (I’ve never actually played the real kind of golf, although I would like to give it a shot.) I’d like to bring my throw count down to approximately only 1 over par for each disc golf hole I play this summer. Putting is where I’m going to start practicing.
