A dog licence!!

[Deleted member 1740]

1st round of the singles matchplay yesterday and I took a beating of 7&6 shaking hands on the 12th. Gutted

I didn't play very well, my driving was bad but my opponent off 22 was no more than 9 over gross over 12 holes and played very well.

Disappointed I never gave him a game but when you get beat like that there's no excuses.

Ask bigslice and Algar and they'll tell you all about the feeling!

I handed one out to my mate last week (he's also off 9), also finished on the 12th. I forgot it was a doggy, reminded him next time though!!

It wasn't someone called Chris was it, who beat you?

Without opening an old can of worms, if a high handicaper clicks on the day and gets a few shots then it'll be tough to win anyway but if you are having a bit of a stinker too then its even harder to play against. Chin up and onwards and upwards (apart from your handicap of course)

Well after my drubbing a few weeks ago it was our doubles match yesterday and with this still fresh in my memory I was determined to perform better.

We ended up winning 2&1 with me carrying my partner who had a shocker for 15 holes, and now face the fella who gave me a beating in the next round!
.
Revenge is certainly on my mind.

Reminds me of a time when I was 6 down at the turn....only to win 2&1!

We were 1down thru 11 then I won 12,13,14 and just halved the others with a great up and down on 17 for par.

That's really odd, had never heard of a dog licence before until I played with Swanny in the first round of our summer pairs, and here it is again.

We missed out on the dog licence by losing 8 and 6 so don't worry yours isn't the worst.

apropos nothing in particular, my first week's dinner money back in 1969 was 7/6.....

Is he still off 22?

Talk about admitting defeat before you've even started....or are you a time traveller ?

Can you finish on any other hole to win 7&6?

 

[ScienceBoy]

Matchplay is a funny thing, you can play the same golf but in one match be sitting over a 3 footer on the 18th for the win or be shaking hands on the 12th for a loss.
