Question

How many shots should you knock off your handicap in a year?

Answer 1

A higher handicapper should target to decrease 3-6 strokes a year, while a low-handicapper should shoot for 1-2 strokes per year.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

This all depends on what your handicap is right now and how serious you are about lowering it.

If you have a high handicap you might look to lower it 10 points. If it is already low you may only be able to shave 1 or 2 points. It may already be so low that you end up putting points back on.

Answer 3

depends on your skill level and the amount of time you put into your game....there is no set figure here.

Answer 4

id say about 6 shots of vodka

Answer 5

Depends on how  high it is to begin with.  It is fairly easy for a 20+ handicapper to take 5 shots off their handicap if they practice a lot and work on their game.  It is really difficult for a 5 handicap to take 5 shots off.
