Frustrated 6.3 here. Buffered so many times this year.
I played in one of our last midweek medals today just to get a qualifier in (had to book half a day off).
Raining most of the way round, played solid but didn't take any birdie chances. Only 24 entered and I finished 11th with nett par!
CSS down to 70 as well so I'd have had to score gross 75 just to get a measly 0.2 cut. I feel like I could stay there if I were a couple of shots lower but getting there is like swimming against the tide.

Peaked at 13.8, but in the last 2 months brought it down to 12.4. Consistently playing to it too, so hopefully reduce a little in the last few comps of the year.
Key factors have been a lot of strength work in the gym through the first half of the year - not that i'm a big hitter, its just meant my swing has more control.
Also done a lot of work on the range with alignment. Massive part of the game to be working on and has certainly paid dividends

I really worked hard on my game in the spring and early summer and came down from nearly 13 to my best ever 9.9
I do wish 9. anything was classed as single figures !

Well I started the season with a handicap of 26.0 and I'm currently down to 20.7 with one more comp to go this season. Hoping to get it down to 20.3 at least after Sunday so I can build on 20 through the Winter League. Totally forgot that I started the season on 26 so I'm really happy with that.

Started the season at 5.6 and got down to 4.8 in my first medal. I've had a few buffers, a few 0.1's back & a couple of 0.1 cuts along the way which has put me on 5.0

Started the season at 6.1, been knocking it round really well and building a good score only to fall flat on my face over the last three holes so many times this season (1 over scratch on the 16th at least half a dozen times), so there's plenty of work for Bob Rotella here lol. Finally managed a couple of cuts and even managed to get into Cat 1 for a week, last comp on Saturday and sitting at 5.6 so not too bad a season i suppose.

Started on 14.3 and now at 13.7
first half the year was very misserable, couldnt get above 30 points in any comp and got up to 14.7. Played better recently and have 4 comps in october which will hopefully provide a chance to hit my target of 12.4

My target was to get from 28 (well my average score at the start of the year was +31) to 18. Doubtful but still plenty of golf ahead of me and for some reason I'm striking the ball better this week than I have for a good while.
Got to be pleased that I have dropped from essentially a very shaky 28 to a very comfortable 24, but want to see if I can knock a few strokes off.

Down from 22.9 to 19.5 but have only been in 5 qualifiers this year due to playing for the club in 3 team comps. Won the Essex union one last week and we are in the final of the other next Sunday. Will hit the comps hard in October.

I've met my target, but a revised and realistic one will be to get down to 18!

I have no more medal rounds left so I've failed to reach my target, handicap has finished at 5.0.

Unfortunately I have only managed 4 comps....... And not met my target!
Least I got a couple of buffers but not scored as well as I believe I am playing.... No more comps possible for this year so need to get my head down over winter and come back bigger and better next season!!! ( that is unless I get cut at annual review but I doubt it I have not shown enough when it counts!!)

I've come into a bit of late season form.
Having hit buffer for about 6 medals on the bounce I came in with a nett 66 on Saturday which has seen me cut to 22.2. Still four shots of my target but confidence is high and I still have at least 6 medals to play.

I started the year poorly but then hit a purple patch mid season to get to within 0.2 of my target, but then my last few qualifiers have been 0.1s.
Just the one qualifier left this Sunday where I'll need to score three under handicap, otherwise I'll be holding out in the vain hope of an end of season general play cut.

Good luck on Sunday. I hope you get there :thup:
I'm also playing on Sunday in what is likely to be my last qualifier of the year. Whatever happens, the worst I'll be at the end of the season is 7.8, which is a great result from a start of 11.8.
Another 4 shot cut next year would be good!
