Dilemma - What would you do

[Deleted member 15344]

Looking for a bit of advice

Ill first paint the picture

In 2013 around October I first got below 6 into cat 1 - I was amazed that someone who didn't hit the ball that far and wasn't the best player got to Cat 1 - all the way through 2014 I yo yo ed from 5 to 6 then to 5 again and back to 6

In fact I'm sure some of you will remember when a poster was kind enough to post my results on here. Now last year I forgot about my signature and at times it showed my HC as 5 when I should have been 6 etc - no big deal I thought - well that was until a few started to post hints about my HC etc and things came to a head etc

Anyway through the winter and into autumn I hit a bit of form which carried through into spring - couple of forum wins at RCP and then a cracking win at Blackmoor which then followed two board comp wins and cuts down to 5.1 - chuffed

Recent weeks saw a run of 4 .1's which moved me back up to 5.5 - boooooooo but yesterday a great gross 73 should get me back to cat 1 again - so I will yo-yo

I'm sure you are bored but I'm getting to the point honestly

Now whilst I have been on here I haven't ever really any technical advice on how to play the game etc etc or I hope I don't display this attitude that I'm a great cat 1 and know how to play the game etc etc

Over the last 6 months it's been a running joke with the friendly Scouse boys about being cat 1 etc and me not being a true cat 1 and we all had a giggle

But imagine my surprise when recently I have been informed that someone is still checking me out on HDID and is telling people on the forum not to call me a cat 1 golfer ?!?! I don't know if I should feel honoured that someone is that obsessed with me that they still check my results and HC out !! I know someone did last year but didn't know exactly who but totally surprised that someone still tracks my progress but I'm confused why they wish to remain in the sidelines - why not be public about it and hide in the shadows about it all ? Why do they feel the need to tell people to check out my HDID ?!

So finally my question - at last you say - what happens next - well soon our clubs systems are being upgraded to make the information private to club registered players - but what does the poster do then ? How will he know what's going on - if he made himself public I could tell him my HC on a weekly basis ? Maybe start a blog just for him ?

But the main point is this poster appears to have an issue with my HC - I'm not sure exactly what it is - so what I'm suggesting is maybe the poster would like to join everyone at H4H day and be part of the 4ball I'm in and we could have a friendly match play or something ? Is that the right way to go

Does anyone else have any suggestions - if you are still reading

Honestly who ever the poster is how about just asking me about my golf and HC progress instead and sneaking about like a snake - it's a bit more mature then :thup:

Funniest thing I've read for a while. I'd also like to know what the motivation is to be so interested in another forumers handicap. The Worlds full of all sorts I suppose.

 

[c1973]

The real question you should be asking yourself is, 'should I be flattered or worried?'

 

[Blue in Munich]

Hilarious. I'm not that bothered about my own handicap, never mind somebody else's.

Must think your a bandit :ears:

Phil ..
Tip 1 , Take your handicap details out of your sig then no one can say you are fibbing coz ur not saying anything ,they are claiming/gloating you are not the handicap you claim to be ,
take it out of your sig , ends all this

(im not saying you are fibbing by the way ,im only worried bout my own handicap)

Tip 2 Like myself you are not a teenager anymore so let whoever is sad enough to be checking you details work away , they will soon get bored of it ,
Don't be worrying or thinking of other folk, u cant control what they say or think & as they don't know the real you , only your online persona then it doesn't matter in the least ..



I like it on here , I like the banter (I know I know) I use the advice I like and try it out & I LOVE the rules pages .. I don't care what anyone here thinks of me ,
The people who have met me know what im made of ,& im sure it is the same with you

The rest.. take me as u find me or take a long walk off a short pier..

Will you spit the dummy and throw another wobbler if the mystery person beats you?


:mmm:

So what's your handicap officially right now, this instant? Cat 1 or 2,
Not difficult to keep your signature updated.
If Cat 1, I hang on every word, Cat 2, not listening to a thing you say!😜

You should just carry on as normal and feel sorry for whoever is sad enough to motivate themselves to behave like that.

:mmm:

When have I thrown a wobbler ?

Haven't ever throw a wobbler of a golf match before - certainly can't ever see me starting soon

The sensible answer mate :thup:

But what about pistols at dawn ?

Like the reason for the edit

 

[User20205]

That round at blackmoor was the best round I've seen all year. Proper cat 1 play :thup: it was playing easy thought, even homer played to handicap

All this just shows there are some proper dicks out there. I'd make a point of naming and shaming..but I could probably guess

I'd also pm them every week with a handicap update

Think it emphasised my tone ha

Mean it all Phil life is too short , id love to get to 5.anything , you can play this game very well let the others jog on


Pistols at dawn would mean the other party had to show their face .. cant see that happening

 

[Deleted member 15344]

I know mate - I guess was sort of hoping the person might finally reveal himself and then could see if could understand the motive of it all as I can't fathom why someone gets like that about someone they don't know :thup:

 

[Birchy]

Whoever it is probably talks a good game on here & never shows up for forum meets.

I wouldnt worry, if they were good enough they would have the balls to front up and challenge you
