Ryder Cup Winner
We have someone playing more competitive golf than Rick, there's a first :rofl:
Yes, it's a scratch competition. There are a few handicap prizes for the qualifying rounds ( one of which I won) but the qualifying places and match play are all scratch.
Strange that after all these years we might have found someone on here who is actually quite good at golf.
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....
Wow, reading that makes your achievement look even greater. Be very proud of yourself kaz!
