I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my new handicap is 4.9, which is now the lowest it has ever been since I was eighteen years old, which was more than thirty-six years ago.

Two years ago my dream was to achieve a single digit handicap. Now I've even dipped below that seemingly unattainable and magical five handicap boundary.

My last two stellar rounds of 75 and 76 from the back champion tees certainly helped to get me down there. What a great way to end the golfing season.

Feeling overly cocky and in an up mood, I signed up for the "Heren 1" golf team for next year. I wonder if it's possible to decrease my handicap even further, or to discover that there's a lower limit for me.

Someday I hope to shoot my age (and get a hole-in-one).
