Start: 10.2 Low: 9.6 High: 10.8 Current: 9.7 18 qualifying scores. Haven't been able to play much lately but was (and hopefully still am) heading in the right direction - most of my counting scores are in the last 10 and those are below my current index, with only a couple of higher counting...

Congratulations Phil, great achievement especially to get through the playoff after the double on the last.

I guess difficult to divulge any details publicly, but sounds like there is some serious forum fodder behind this story...

Another key difference GA has (not sure whether this is an option vs implementation point) is that the leave it to the discretion of clubs as to whether to allow general play scores. My understanding is the large majority of clubs then do not allow GP scores to be entered - so a major difference...

Actually, on reflection having read through that it does read to me as though it is done the way I had originally mentioned - ie that guidance page does seem to say a 9 hole score is held (until it is older than the 20 most recent 18 hole scores) and is paired with the next 9 hole score...

Okay thanks, good to know. Just my opinion, but the way they used to do it sounds better to me…

Aside from the 'can I', the 'do I' is an absolute yes - as is probably the case for all of us. Depending on how the round went (I mainly only play weekends) somewhere between much of Monday morning vs much of the week is spent recounting the 'if onlys' from the weekends round/s. Certain...

Yep, I suspect for those of us who are having this struggle it's more commonly around/on the green, perhaps because there's less time/walking to process between shots.

Good point, I don't know, and given the later posts discussing calculation of daily playing handicaps vs. treatment of scores I'm none the wiser/haven't bothered checking. I've just seen it on friends GA handicap records who play in Oz, but it may have been as I scrolled way back in their...

I clicked on this topic to say exactly the same thing - until maybe a year ago, I could definitely remember every single shot. Now, I quite commonly cannot remember a couple per round at my home course (always certain putts and e.g. whether I two or three putted, just have to go with what the...

I haven't read through the full thread so may be cutting across what has already been said/going off topic a bit, but I prefer the way Australia seems to deal with 9 hole scores - they sit on a players record until they submit another 9 hole score then the two get paired to form an 18 hole...

Rory is flying early in the second round - with his fast/confidence boosting finishing yesterday he's now tied for the lead and 8 under for his last 10 holes

Crikey, that is impressive! I would need about 200 years to get to that number, and not only because I don't play enough golf!

I’ve played it about 6-8 times since Covid always at the winter or twilight rates, so probably generally paid between about £90-130 per round. I think it is reasonable at those prices and has a few positives - the course holds up relatively well in winter/rainy periods which is mostly why I’ve...

Congratulations, Homer. I don't post on here much but have admired your persistence with your goal over the years and it gave me a smile to see that you got there. Might be time to set yourself a new and tougher target now...
