Fairway Dodger

Been lying around idling, so thought I'd do a few figures.

There were 66 players in the field. FD was ranked 37th by handicap. Only 3 players scored better over 36 holes of scratch strokeplay. All three play of scratch or better and two of them were the lowest two h/cs in the field - and given the what the comp was, must be close to, if not actually, the best players in Scotland.

In three rounds of scratch match play, she didn't play anyone ranked lower by h/c and toppled someone playing off +1.1 and was only beaten in the end by someone playing off a +figure.

That's what I call a golfer....

Some folks have too much time on their hands!

Thanks for that, though, quite interesting.

Here's another stat for you to ponder, I may have posted this already if so apologies.....

My round of 74 on Wednesday included 38 putts!

Don't think I've ever had more putts than other shots before!


Oh, and I've just hacked it round my home course in ten over par. With two doubles and one quintuple bogey!

Aye, I'm totally knackered and ready for a couple of days without swinging a golf club. Managed to qualify for my club championship, playing yesterday and today. Rubbish scores, but good enough. Have a county match to play tomorrow but then I get a break after 10 consecutive days golfing - turns out that is too much even for me!!


Last word on all this is just to say that I've been on this forum for a few years and it's been a love/hate relationship for much of that. Lots of good advice and interesting chat mixed with some annoyance and a few arguments. I think my handicap has dropped from about 12ish to 3 (briefly, now back to 4) during that time and I've had a lot of support during the ups and downs of that progression. I've met many people from here and enjoyed playing with all of you and I look forward to doing so again in the future...

For all that, nothing really prepared me for the backing you have given me this week. I've been genuinely moved by it all and it really inspired me to see your messages as the tournament progressed. I thank you all for that! :thup:

And congratulations to Clara Young from North Berwick, 2015 Scottish Ladies Amateur Champion after what sounds like an epic final...
