2013 Handicap challenge.....

[Junior]

Thanks mate,I've been playing decent overall but for some reason I'm struggling on the back 9 and I don't know why. If I can get my game sorted on the back 9 then the cuts will come.

Top shooting partner. Good to see your getting into form for S&A. So what you down too ??

had my first cut of the year -0.2 down to 10.8
although i scored net 1 over par the CBA +2 brought me that little adjustment
do you use CBA in GB&I ???

Thanks mate 15.5/16 .

I started on 18.7/19 this season so its good progress upto now.
Hopefully a few more good knocks and I'll be down to my target of 12.

Looking forward to S&A. How's your golf been?

Steady bud, if not spectacular. 2 qualifiers and 2 buffers this season and then I haven't played for the last couple of weeks until this weekend. Had a good knock in a foresomes match on Saturday though so hopefully getting back into a bit of form!!

Can't wait for S&A, course looks a cracker. I'm on holiday for 10 days before though so might be a little rusty !!!

played our spring meet and got a good cut from 17.6 to 15.8. I'm hoping more to follow if I can find the time for medals over comps, but also so if I am playing well than I can get more good cuts and not look like too much of a bandit in my comps.

Bring it on!

Another cut, now down to 21.4

What does CBA stand for?

Computed Buffer Adjustment.

The Course Rating and Slope Rating must reflect conditions normal for the season(s) when most rounds are played”. However, sometimes rounds are played when either the weather or the course conditions are not normal and within the EGA Handicap
System these rounds directly affect handicaps. The Computed Buffer Adjustment (CBA) calculation has been developed to determine when the conditions deviate so far from normal that an adjustment must be made to compensate.

Up to 20.1 after my first medal. Couldn't buy a putt the whole round!

So basically don't worry about CBA as it doesn't affect CONGU handicaps, But it sounds like The EGA are trying to factor in something similar to CSS when adjusting European handicaps!

right, apologies as I am way behind on updating the spreadsheet. Will do it over the next few days and post up so any discrepencies can then be sorted.

Had a crappy few weeks healthwise so only popped on the pc briefly here and there.

Looks like a few cuts going on though especially my to oppo's so only having played 2 rounds in the last month I better pull my finger out and stop the rot of 0.1's

 

[virtuocity]

I hate this thread. Got myself my first handicap at 24. No chance of getting to 18 this year!!!!

Cut 1.2 to 22.8.

Bring it.

 

[full_throttle]

Due to health issues I have been asked to take over this for the time being,

I have all the starting handicaps on a spreadsheet, so at the end of June I will post to show who is moving and in which direction.

Keep posting on here please as it helps encourage others especially for the H4H challenge

 

[Tiger]

Hi FT best give you an update as I no longer have my old school sig. Now off 22.5

 

[virtuocity]

FT- let me know if you need a hand with this mate.

19.3>18.0 Target achieved

Will not be upgrading the target to a lower handicap, just going to see what happens.

 

[Deleted member 1740]

After 4 nr's I've gone up to 15.8

 

[gregbwfc]

Well after 2 non qualifiers and 2 0.1 raises, got a 1.1 cut down to 12.1 last week.
Well pleased.
Hopefully keep things steady for a bit, lot of comps coming up.
