Ok, so you've had a chance to get to know me a little better, look at my swing and examine my plan of action. So as the snow is gently thawing how do you think I will get on in year one of Project Scratch? Please post your comments on what you think my handicap will be at the end of year one (December 31st 2010)?

I think you’ll get to 20 pretty easily this year

Rob2
It depends on what you are shooting now? Fingers crossed you both do well. You definately seem to have the right attitude with regard to learning etc. I will go for 18. Good Luck

18 or less this year and it will be the easiest jump to make as you will be coming down .4 for any shots under your handicap. Mike

Bogey
Nice to see you guys so confident. I must admit to setting myself a mental target of 20. I’d be delighted if I’d hit that by December.

I reckon 17, you’ll need to work hard though!

pokerjoke
I believe twenty is a good target and a realistic one,good luck

I think that if you put the practise in and have the natural ability you can go low maybe between 12 -14. The main thing is not to take it too seriously….easier said than done mind!!!

I’m a glass half full man so will say 18. Best of luck and look forward to seeing how you progress.

Jammydodger
I’m going to be a little conservative and say 21. Hope you fly way past that though. Good luck

Hi Tiger,i am also on a mission this year(join club,get handicap,go down to 18 within a year),i see no good reason why we both cant play off 18 by this time next year! Maybe we should sort out a friendly wager to see who gets there first?

Tiger
Thank you all for your thoughts, really interesting perspectives. Deke thanks for the challenge – how about a sleeve of Z-Stars to the winner?

Deke
Sounds good to me mate! Will keep you updated on my progress,and I wish you and Bogey all the best too.We should try and get a game sorted soon,i am well up for some long distance golf trips.Hmmmm,z-stars should be a good upgrade from my soft feels,nice!

Tiger
I’m assuming that you are looking forward to enjoying the other 9 Z-Stars after you have sent me my sleeve! ;0) Good luck with your own game and we look forward to hearing about your progress.

Just a few more to add from GM thread:

Society Fan – 18
Swinger – 22
Owen Thomas – 17
