3 over gross in medal but not happy!!

Cheers all....result now in and CSS didn't move so a 0.6 cut to 5.3. :thup: ... hello CAT 1.....gonna try and hold on to you a bit longer this time...

Howdidido has me down as 5.4 but there's a competition the club have to undo as they made an error declaring ALL bunkers as GUR last Wednesday, which they can't do and still count it for handicapping.. :o

Well done Rick.

Sounds like a 'Rickgate' to me. Howdidido never lies.:whistle:

OK.....I should be ecstatic as its 3 better than handicap and could see me back at CAT 1 depending on CSS but left some silly ones out there........

in reality I should have had my first sub par round......

front 9 1 over gross.....no real mistakes and fairly happy.

back 9 had a horror on 11.....hit the green in regulation but in an area of the green that's been suffering recently and they've made a hash of the repair......it really should have been GUR as it was so uneven.....anyway, it wasn't so I had to putt from it......It was a 20 foot putt....no problem, lag it up to the hole and walk off with my par.......wrong!!....took the putter back and it snagged on a high spot.....my putt went 10 inches!!!!!!!!!, I nearly had an air putt!!! :angry: I was seething......

Held it together after that but missed 3 reasonably easy birdie chances......still only 2 over though with only 103 yards to go on the 18th and stuck it in the green side bunker and walked off with a bogey.......


Still, I have to take the positives and I'm really nitpicking......just disappointed about 11 and 18......

if CSS doesn't go down, I'll get a 0.6 cut and back to CAT 1 which will make up for my disappointment.....if CSS goes down, then I'll be rueing those 2 holes........

It's going to be a long night.......


Your scores don't lie. You shot what you shot end of. If you deserved better you'd have shot better.
 
Well played chap!

It is easy to say it could have been better. Even after the best rounds, we can all the say the same.

The flip side is of course, it could have been much worse! What about the putt that sneaked in the side door? What about the chip that checked more than usual on the second bounce? What about the 30 degree bounce to the left off the shoulder of a bunker that put you within 15 feet of the pin? And so on............. I bet there are plenty of shots in your round that could have had a different result and affected the score but they didn't.

There is a considerable amount of luck in golf. Anyone who says different is wrong. Good days could always be better and they could also be a lot worse. It is the rub of the green combined with your consistency level that gives you the number on the card at the end of the round.

Well done for 3 over. Nice golf Rick.
