I've won 7/6 after being level thru 5, had a run of 5 putts in 7 holes
Won a knock out 10 and 8 against a guy who stated on the first tee how ell he was playing and how much he was going to beat me by
God do I hate people like that. There's a guy at my club who's generally off around 5 now, but I was chatting to him a while back about handicaps and such, he said 'I wouldn't know what it's like for you as I've never been that high' (I was off 20-odd at the time). I was like "What, never? Not even when you first started playing?" He said his first handicap when he joined was 9. Cheers for that.Couple of weeks back our foxes team was in the county knock-out final. The opponents fielded a guy in his twenties playing off 12 who beat one of our "bankers" 8&6.
Turned out that he was a tennis pro who had only recently taken up golf and just a few weeks before been allocated his first ever handicap of 12.
Obviously one of those irritating people who are good at any sport they care to try. There were of course mutterings about ringers, but to be fair they beat us fairly easily.
it was, esp as he also stood on the first tee boasting how well he was driving the ball and the distance he was getting from his new Titleist Driver, at the time i was really strugging with my driver... and he knew it... he then went and stuck his drives on the first and 2nd on the beachThat must have been intensely satisfying. Got what was coming to him!
