Whats the most you've ever had in a row.....I'm currently on 7...sitting at 8.1!
Consecutive 0.1s in a row?

HDID seems to show my worse run without cut or buffer as 4 (in qualifiers!)
I don't even want to look... I've had 3 or 4 small cuts since Oct '13, when I was off 4.1. I'm now off 8.0. That's 39 x 0.1. Many of those rounds didn't see me break 90. 2013 saw about 50 rounds played, of which only 3 were above 79. Even the Samaritans put me on hold now...

Four. Right at the beginning, I went from 24 to 24.4 in my first four tournaments I think. Started getting some cuts and buffers after that though, so I've been coming down slowly but steadily.

Two - my first two medals after getting my handicap in 2016. Not had more than 1 in a row in 14 comps since (Four 0.1's).

Had 12 last year, climbed comfortably out of single figures. In my defense I was away a lot with work, I'd get back from the States on a Friday and tee it up Saturday not knowing what I was doing. Crammed in golf just to play competitively when I should have left it off. Lessons learned.
I think.

...retribution for all the comments about the weather? Actually, we've all gone "ouch!"

7 0.1s in a row gets an automatic handicap review. Towards the end of the year I get quite a few players to review from this CONGU requirement. Even had one myself which got me a one shot increase. Currently on 8 (8.7 to 9.5) but with the new guideline I cannot see the rest of the committee giving me another stroke.

If you get 7 0.1’s in a row, you then get 1 full shot increase as well don’t you ?

Great thread and looking back I was really inconsistent through to Sept last year. early season 6 then won a MAJOR @ UCGC then struggled again for 8 rounds and had a top 3. then Since October I've had 1 only much improved and cut all winter

15, plus 6 comps that were NQ, that would have attracted 0.1 if they had been a qualifier

Strictly as asked per the question, it's 7 for me.
But l had 14 point 1's in 16 competitions with just two buffers.
Hopefully that sequence is ended.

16 for me. 
10 from halfway through to the end of 2015 season, followed by 6 from beginning of 2016 season.

I think my last comp was my 18th consecutive .1. I have no doubt that my next comp will be the 19th

I'm pretty sure that's a CONGU recommendation, and is not mandatory.
The HCP committee at my club chose not to implement it when it was introduced.
Nine from Aug 19 last year to December 16. Then a buffer.

I guess you are a very steady player or a new high handicapper?
2 in a row isnt bad at all and not worth quitting over. 🙈

Not if you start at x.5 to x.7 where x is any number
The 7 in a row gets you a review is does not necessarily get you an increase. There is a flow chart to follow and basically if you have buffered during the current handicap year or played to or under handicap in the preceding 12 months then there is no increase given.
