Cawder 36 Hole Comp

[GMAC88]

Anyone play yesterday? I was 4 hrs 45 mins for round one, so decided to give rd 2 a miss! the hangover didn't help either!

Course was in great condition, though a touch wet, the greens were immaculate and pretty quick for the amount of rain that had fallen. I lost 4 balls and everything Dr Bob has taught me over the past 3 weeks has gone out the window! Still, it's only a 0.1 up on the h/c!!

Cawder is the same every year, decent greens, saturated and slower than Ben Crane. Also as per usual about a third of the field never complete round two due to the pace of play.

The organisation of it leaves a lot to be desired. Only 36 hole events for me this year will be The Cumbrae Cup (Millport) and The Bennie (Rothesay).


**EDIT*

The Argyll & Bute strokeplay at Machrihanish Dunes as well.

used to play in it every year, was always wet and slow. Usually found 2 rounds in the 60's won each year.

Slow rounds in the cold and wet don't interest me anymore, it's supposed to be enjoyable

Did you make buffer for the first round because if not it should be a .2 added to your handicap as you will get a .1 increase for the 2nd round because you did not play and it will go down as an NR.

Cawder is a good track but can be a slog in the wet.

Its hardly an N/R if I didnt start the round....I withdrew.

Not sure about that but you might be right.
