I was a little bored tonight, and as I sat here watching the Yankees beat the Blue Jays I got curious about my golf stats. So I fired up the IntelliGolf software. I took a look at the first 34 rounds of 2009, and pitted them against the first 34 rounds of 2008 to see where I stand. Of the 34 rounds, 24 of them are 18 hole rounds, and the remaining 10 are 9 hole rounds. All said, 522 holes of golf for each year.

My handicap has gone down two strokes (mostly due to some recent rounds where I shot out of my mind)., but a lot of the stats are largely similar. The only statistics that have had a large shift in my favor are one putts, and the number of double and triple bogeys. It wreaks of more consistency, which is a good thing.
