Started the year at 25.4 with a target of 20, was at 23 by May then two good Medal rounds including a 2 shot deduction due to exceptional scoring it's now at 16.9. I can just about play to this on my home course but beggared if I can anywhere else.

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!

You've had a great year and have blown me out of the water in the handicap challenge, good luck to you too on Sunday. :thup:

for some reason I'm going in the wrong direction, another 0.1 back after todays disaster takes me to 18.5.

playing well in bounce games, but just struggling to reproduce the swing/mindset for the medals.

I did not have any great expectations, I kind of thought getting back to where I started on entry to my new course would be ok. I was told on my first ever medal there, it would take 3 years to learn the greens. Well I spent some time figuring them out, but I kind of re found my form with the irons. I got back what I thought I had lost and the putting got practiced more as opposed to me trying to hit my irons straight. Then I just had a blinder and destroyed the field on Captain's day, my mental out look changed as well, no longer grumpy with frustration... Excepted that every dog has his day in the sun. Played well when others struggled, struggled when the course was easy (dunno why..? ) so I ended up 3 shots better off ... And now my time has finished as its search for a new contract and get back on that wheel of keeping up with the jones :(

2012 has seen me rise from 5.2 to 6.2 - and there's qualifiers still to play.

My ambition is to get back to 5 by April 2013, and kick on to 4 by the end of 2013.

Sorted....:clap::clap::clap:

Now to get well into the 4's before the last qualifier late Dec...

Some great results posted so far. Feel I've let the side down by going the wrong way. :( Last Nov I was off 11.7 and was aiming for 10. Well that didn't happen. Now off 12.0. Only a couple of cuts, and too many .1s.

Work on the course means we probably won't have any more qualifiers this year.

Always another year.

Will swap with you! started the year off 4.9 (aiming for 4.0) now off 7.0! Worst year ever handicap and comp wise!

Disappointing year - was away for so much of it I barely got my game together more than a handful of times and never enough to cut.

Started 12.0 - finished 12.8.

There are 2 qualifiers left this year but guess what?! Yeah, away for both of them. Story of the season :(

Oh well, there's always next year (he says already looking at trips away stacking up!).

Finished the year at 12.3 a bit short of the 9.9 target but moving in the right direction (at last), won a singles and a pairs (greensomes) along the way so not so disappointed at missing the target. Still get called a bandit though :-D
