I have managed to come 2nd in the last four qualifying competitions I have played in! Beaten twice by the same high handicap bandit, who at least has had his handicap cut. Starting to know how perpetual bridesmaids must feel! :(

So he's a bandit and you've finished 2nd twice to him.

I guess that makes you a bandit aswell?
 
You must have got a few nice cuts too?
Got one cut from 12.6 to 11.9. Other comps were all high scoring 'Reductions Only', as is often the case in seniors comps due to inequities in the CONGU handicapping system when dealing with a group of golfers whose games on average are deteriorating due to the infirmities of old age! :rolleyes:

Not sure, other than being frustrating, what the problem is. You played well for a few weeks and it coincided with someone doing the same. Not sure it's fair to call the other player a bandit, because a) he's a "high" handicapper and b) he's beaten you

Also recently got beaten by the same player in a 4BBB match, when he played well below his 22 handicap. Since cut to 20. :)

So the other comps were RO so SSS went up 3 shots, yet you didnt get a cut and are moaning about coming second with what 32 points?

33 points actually. Course is par 72, SSS 71. Difficult day with baked hard fairways and greens, deep rough and a strong wind!
