Played my first competition with my new irons today. On 31 points after 13 holes, managed to par the 16th for 3 points but the other 4 holes were dings. Amazing how often I finish like this after a good start.

I broke 90 for the first time today (89). I've only been playing 12 years!!

Haven't bought any new clubs in 10 years, but have just treated myself to a Sim Max Driver and a set of T300 irons after a fitting session.

Anything on a downhill lie including putts.

I tend to play comparitively well in the wind. Of the 4 comps I have won 3 of them have been in awful weather. I have won with 35 points twice and 33 once. I had 32 on Sunday in very high winds but my biggest problem was hands so cold I had no feel on the greens. I think when the weather is bad...

I no longer carry my 5 hybrid as I've eventually learned to use my 5 iron, I rarely use the 60 degree wedge I have as I am always blading it!

Result eventually published on Saturday morning. 2nd place, happy enough with that.

Well tonight HDID have notified me of a 1.2 cut in my handicap, still no competition result though :(

Results are published on HDID. Maybe it is a software issue. Just a bit more interested than usual this week due a good score in poor conditions.

Typically how long does it take your club to publish competition results? Recently has been taking up to a week at my place. Still waiting to see how I did on Sunday.:confused:

As long as you play at a reasonable pace (or are willing to call me through if you're not), replace divots, repair pitchmarks and behave in a respectful manner towards other golfers, I couldn't care what you wear. I'd take a pair of jeans and a football top before some of that Loudmouth stuff...

I would love to get my handicap down into the teens. Have eventually turned a corner and my handicap is begining to go down. Hit 28 for a few weeks but since then I have consistently played well. Had 40 pts yesterday in terrible weather so expect another cut. Could be back to 25 where I started...

14th at my place. Only hole on the course with OOB both left and right, and because it's a dogleg sometimes a perfectly straight drive can get a bit of extra roll and go OOB. Now if I am having a good round I generally opt for 3x8irons as I get 2 shots on it. I've still managed to go OOB on a...
