2013 Handicap challenge.....

0.1 for me.

Competition yesterday played on same tees, pins etc as Selborne Salver. Pins were harder than the forum meet two years ago, and the greens were as quick. Rolled and not holding.:( Used up all my shots in the first seven holes, getting used to a fast couirse, from a slow and holding one. Played back nine in 39 gross which was not too bad, but the damage was done. Thanks goodness the course will not be set up as difficult again this year.
 
Got the email through this afternoon. 1 shot cut down to 7.2 (CSS jumped up a shot). Happy with that for now. I really really want to get to 6 within the next 1-2 months. Hitting the ball well atm just need to stop the silly errors.
 
Round 4 played last night and it's another .1 increase, now up to 5.3. Pretty windy night and went ob on the 9th and ended up missing the buffer zone by 1. Out of the 4 medal rounds I've played last night was the best ball striking round so hopefully a few cuts will be coming up.
 
37 points in my Extra Medal this morning so another .4 cut :)

That's 2 medals = 2 cuts.

20 points with a blob on the front 9 and then had a small wobble on the 11th, 12th & 13th but then pulled it back with some good gross pars on the 15th, 16th & 18th with 17 points with another blob!

Got to get rid of the blobs :angry:
 
Another .4 cut for me after coming 3rd in yesterday's Extra Medal :)

Adjusted my handicap myself this morning knowing I would be cut and still won my matchplay Founders match 4&3.

Its been a great month for me so far :thup:
 
Im just preparing myself for my first 0.1 back tomorrow. My swing appears to have disintegrated quicker than a Lidl digestive in hot coffee......
 
Like Hendo, after .1 too many times, shot a net 67 today for a cut of 1.2 so now 16.9. i have lost a freebie hole!! hit a forum standard drive today i was most proud of! tail wind assisted...
 
If it's not too late to enter this, I'd like to get involved.

Started the year at 25.1, with a target of 17, so a 35% decrease I work that out at.

However I shot a nett 69 in the April medal to take me to 23.1, and yesterday I scored an outrageous 46 points (with a blob on 18, SI 2!) in the midweek stableford, and am eagerly awaiting the cut that is coming.
