Ok yes I can accept that after reading it again, that is how it appears, however what I'm meaning (but probably not explaining very well) is that I constantly score so much better off the yellows and as my hi is more or less maintained off the yellows I'm much lower than I would be if i only...

Which is what I have done in the 41 years i have been a member and why my h'cap has always ever been in the range 5 to 7, if I wanted to have any chance if winning anything I could easily have done so

Where did I ever say I was happily frittering away a few shots, I said i had a couple of 3 putts (on very large very slopey greens) and got up and down 2 times from greenside bunkers, maybe I should have accidentally left them in there to bump my score up a bit, I finished with 7 straight pars...

Fair enough think what you want, I've been a member at the same course for 41 years never lower than 5, never higher than 7, never won a thing, if you think that's the action of someone manipulating their h'cap feel free, I know my game inside out, know what I'm trying to do and where my game is...

If you are referring to me I don't know how you think I'm doing that, if not me fair enough, over the last 13 rounds from our yellows my scores are all between 73 and 76 so the 36 points i scored were in the range I expected I didn't manipulate anything, I literally have no chance of winning...

To put some context on it off my hi of 4.5 at Dunbar I am currently 138th equal lowest h'cap, there are about 40 at scratch or better and about 100 or so less than 3, so I have no chance of a scratch prize and increasingly virtually no chance of the net prize either so really there's no point in...

I didn't enter the sweeps just paid the entry fee and 2's sweep because I knew through experience that off my hi of 4.5 I have absolutely no chance of competing, my 36 points finished up 13 points behind the winner, 8 behind 2nd and 7 behind 3rd, I've explained in another post why I don't want...

Because you don't take on tough pins just go the middle of the green, hit 3 wood and rescues from the tee instead of driver, 13 fairways hit, a couple of 3 putts and 2 up and downs from greenside bunkers, it was pretty routine and controlled tbh

I have commented many times before that my scores from yellows are generally much lower than they are from the whites, I'm off 4.5 with 6 of my counting 8 scores from yellows, if they were from whites I would be off about 8.9, I recently played a matchplay tie off the whites where I had 6...

Played a Senior Stableford today, one of probably only 2 we have each year, off the yellows so a bit of a dilemma what to score as I always score better of the yellows than the whites and as most medals are off whites don't want to get too low, in the end a pretty well controlled 76 for 36...

You low handicappers eh what are you like always moaning ! I played a friendly game with 2 others for a couple of £, format was 6 points a hole One guy 81 less 17 net 64 against par 71, me off 5 a couple over, just handed over the money !

I had a rattle recently, absolutely convinced it from coming from behind or around the air vents, i gave it a few good thumps with my fist without success, coming back home from Inverness with my son I asked him to have a good listen and he said it's coming from around the mirror, just as a put...

Given that I generally score higher off the white tees than the yellows I played a medal yesterday to see if I could start a bit of an upward trend to my hi, hit it really well except for 2 very poor holes, shot 80 adjusted 79 net 75 and came down 0.1 to 4.7, that wasn't supposed to happen !

18 yo son passed his driving test this afternoon, 2nd attempt

Yeah that's what they told me too, it's infuriating, I usually dig 2 or 3 out on each par3 with my pitchmark repairer and use one, saves a bit cash i suppose in these tough times for us pensioners !
