We did the longest day for Macmillan Cancer last week...4 rounds in a day! we started at 4.30am and finished at 9pm! Absolutley broke me!! I scored 97, 115, break for lunch, 103, 111! fatigue is a big issue!
Regarding the question raised of high handicappers entering a scratch competition and likelihood of winning, I assume that Delc's competition was the Club Championship.
I enter our 36 hole Club Championship every year if I can, even though I know I've got very little chance of coming in the top 5 let alone winning it. For me there's a real buzz about the day that you don't get in any other club competition.
And it's the Club Championship after all, the flagship event, it should be supported by as many members who are eligible as possible whatever their handicap.
Unfortunately entry numbers in ours have been on a steady decline for some years and in an effort to increase entrants the previous handicap limit has been dropped and a net prize introduced in order to keep the competition viable, which should be a warning to those low handicappers who bemoan the fact that most club competitions are handicapped and not scratch.
