PPs who can't be arsed to watch your shot. Had been driving it great all day. 14th didn't hit it right, looked up, couldn't see it. Says to the PP "Which way did that go?"."Sorry, I wasn't watching"...

Not playing this weekend ?

Just came here to vent.
Shot 77 on day 1 of club champs, and it was a rubbish 77.
Turned up yesterday, confidence sky high, and put my worst round in for 2 years. 85. I haven’t had a worse day on the course in 3 years.

Realising I need to shoot around 80 in one of my next two comps to avoid my handicap going up. Not much chance of that. 
Damn this new system!

Me too. Played my first comp yesterday - designed for new club members. Tee off in front of the vice-captain - longest drive of my group with two players in the mid-teens, slap bang in the middle of the fairway to a call of "won't be 30 for long". By the end of the first hole they saw exactly why I am a high handicapper!

It is funny isn't it, how everyone else only remembers your good shots, while you walk off only remembering the bad ones.

People who drive buggies right up to the edges of greens and over tees. Then drive round the rough looking for balls like they are Colin McRea.

Played in a medal yesterday, one birdie and 8 pars but the rest of the round was awful and, as an 83 (which had won a mid week medal) had dropped out of my 8 from 20 my handicap goes from 15.4 to 16.1 so with the slope adjustment I'm now 18 handicap off our whites ?

Is it a really bad forecast for Thursday, Played today at Redlibbets and it was roasting, I must say Redlibbets was in fantastic condition with some of the best greens I've played in a long time

Note to self- remember to wear glasses to check handicap info on score cards properly.
Today there was far TOO much SMALL PRINT [ but correct ] handicap info on the card while playing a seniors 4bbb open comp.
It showed player A- name- HI;20.0 CH;22 PH 19 pin ****, player B-name - HI;16.8 CH;19 PH ;16 PIN ****
Why not make it simple and just show the actual playing handicaps on the card ?

We get shouted at if we add anything other than our HI. The super computer does everything else, which is fortunate as the reading glasses live on my bedside table.

Finding that hard to believe Chris having had a game with you a few years back. Half your round is on single figures form, sounds like need to steady the ship elsewhere - if only it were that easy!
thundery showers until about 1pm and then just rain until 7pm.

That's spot on Iain. Part of the problem was that my driver deserted me and I was too stubborn to change it, also one or two health issues made golf more difficult and since the latest return from lockdown my course was in an awful state with a massive leatherjacket problem. I'm feeling now that it's only a matter of time before the handicap get a battering !

My HI has gone from 11.1 to 12.9 in only 3 rounds, as old rounds drop off and are replaced with dross. Under the old system it would be only +0.3 in total. This does show the merit of the new system reflecting current form, but my irritation is the total slump my game has been in over the last year
