Might as well contribute. Relatively new to consistent golf, played MAYBE once a year from 18 to 38, but got hooked last summer when I moved to Colorado and now play as often as I can. Ended last season as a 14, want to try to be a 10 or under at the end of this season.
OK back story, F snow. Got two weeks of golf and then 2 feet of snow. Course closed for a week while snow melts, get 1 day before 3" of snow closes the course again. Not really F golf, but F the fact that I can't feed my new crack addiction.
OK F the new GHIN system, even though I know it is more lenient than ever. Get out on Sunday for 9 holes after snow melted. Shot a 39 with 6 pars and three bogeys and no penalties. Felt like I am off to a good start. New GHIN system allows 9 hole scores, nice. 9 hole course is a 35.7 with a slope of 142. Calculates a differential of 11.1. The system is too smart and knows I wouldn't be able to keep the pace for all 18!
