The Long Game, a series that tracks the Handicap Index progress of four Golf Digest editors, has hit a bit of a snag. While some progress has been seen, not everyone is moving in the right direction. Luke and Greg have seen improvement in their numbers, while Maddi and the author have seen their indexes slightly increase. As the author reflects on the season, questions arise about whether they are truly getting worse.

The author and Maddi are gearing up for a company Match Play, where they will face off against each other. Despite their hard work and dedication to improving their games, their handicaps do not reflect the progress they have made. Maddi attributes her struggles to a lack of course time and the need to build muscle memory. Meanwhile, the author is facing difficulties with his driver, which is negatively impacting his scores.

As they prepare for their match, the author is surprised to hear that Maddi is considering playing back from the blue tees, despite her struggles with driving accuracy. Maddi believes that sacrificing some strokes off the tee may benefit her game overall, allowing her to focus on finding fairways and making better approach shots. The author wonders if it is possible to improve as a golfer while still seeing their Handicap Index go up, as they feel they are making strides in their game despite the scoring setbacks.

Maddi shares her belief that scoring is a skill that must be learned, just like chipping or putting. She emphasizes the importance of mental strength and capitalizing on key moments during a round to convert bogeys into pars and pars into birdies. By mastering these aspects of the game, she believes the author will see their handicap drop as everything falls into place. The author looks forward to the challenge of their upcoming match and hopes that their game will click at the right moment.

In conclusion, The Long Game series has provided insight into the ups and downs of tracking Handicap Index progress over a golf season. Despite facing challenges and setbacks, the editor’s dedication to improving their game and learning the nuances of scoring and mental toughness will ultimately lead to success on the course. As they continue their journey, they are confident that their hard work will pay off in the form of lower Handicap Indexes and improved performance overall.
