    Saturday - 30 points off green tees in Druids Heath - couldn't buy a putt - calm conditions = 0.1 back...
    Sunday - 36 points off white tees in Druids Heath - dropping them in from everywhere - 0.9 cut 😆
    Monday - 32 points off green tees in Druids Heath - a few bad drives cost me but game in great shape.

    Finally reached my goal, had two good comps. One the CSS was 33 and I shot 38, he other shot another 4 above the CSS so a ESR was triggered. Feel like I am starting to plateau a little bit so changes are coming to get to next level.

    We serious have some good golfers on boards, To get into the top 50 you have to be less than 14! considering I think they say the average golfing HC is 19 ... Id gladly retire if I ever got to 14...

    Haven't posted here in a couple of years as I kept getting my hopes up and dashed!!!!

    But a recent run of form has seen improvement, drastic and dramatic improvement, all in the space of 5 weeks, and hopefully will continue.

    Exactly 9.4 | 9 | 6.1

    Had no real expectations regarding handicap this year with Captain duties but a 43 & 40 points in the last couple of weeks along with an ESR has had a dramatic effect.

    Update

    BigChap1759 8.1|5.4|8.2

    Drifted up to 9 but a nice cut has me back down to nearly where I started the season, now to push on while the game is half decent!

    Macker1 | 12.7 | 9.4 | 11.5 | 21/08/2017


    Back to 12 Hcap after a very poor round in yesterdays Captain's Day. To be fair the weather didn't help matters and whilst I hit some decent shots the bad ones really cost me.

    a clause 23 reduction, some complaining, few 0.1s and a level par round for 41 points.

    I have 8 0.1s this season. does that mean i can only have 2 more?

    A golfer only get a maximum increase of one shot, the increase is measured from his lowest playing handicap in that year. So I think if you have just gone to 5.0 you can still get another 10 0.1s to go to 6.

    Goal achieved for the year, solid golf all year but win the August medal and have another good round at the weekend to kick in the ESR.

    I've shown great potential in recent rounds, but just falling short of beating my handicap, but I feel there is 1 or 2 strong rounds in the locker, and I am confident of getting down to at least 19.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,086 ✭✭✭billy3sheets


    Year start | Target | Current
    Billy3sheets: 17.1|7.1|17.5

    Out to 18 now. Been a long time since I was off 18.
    Going to make reaching my target all the more satisfying...

    Billy3sheets: 17.1|7.1|17.8

    Hit my 1 shot back limit at end of May at 18.1.
    After months of desperation, I finally broke my handicap with 37 points in a stableford medal and got cut 0.3 to 17.8. Well, it's a start :D

    frink|7.8|6.0|6.5|25/09/2017

    After a string of 0.1s, two cuts in the last two weeks got me back towards the 6 target. Maybe one last chance for a cut this year before winter rules kicks in

    Joeyjoejoe43 20.9|18.0|19.8

    Moving in the right direction... Was cut from 20.8 to 19.8 today.. shot 74 in medal and standard scratch was 76.. not sure how that works?? I would have expected to be cut to 20 exactly?

    Could very easily have been cut by 2.4 today but a 9 on a par 4 index1 14th made a balls of things for me.. had just gone par par birdie then started thinking 'I might win this' then bang a 9! 72 won it.. that 2.4 cut and a medal woukd have been so sweet!
