Then your irritation is not with handicaps but with stupid organisers.54 handicaps!
Played in a corporate scramble last week, we were 10 under par gross, not brilliant, but decent enough, one of the teams that beat us were 4 over gross! Apparently the organiser let everyone without an official handicap play off 54 "because that's the rule"
Did the adrenaline rush make you over-hit the birdie putt?Have you ever met someone who won "Closest to the pin in 2" and still got a bogey......
Well now you have
72 people in the field, many of which made par - not me though
(under-hit massively, over-hit, in)
Don't worry, this is my life nowadays. Literally any green and any putt could turn into a three-putt. Averaging about four of them per round at the moment.Honestly no.. just sheer bad golf
Was also hammering down at times so just couldnt get a decent run of putts together, speeds just kept changing - my excuse and I'm sticking with it!
No, the only time I've ever seen a 'closest in two' comp, it was on a hole where I couldn't even reach the green in two.Have you ever 3 putted when closest to the pin in 2, out of the whole field though
Played in a Bogey/Par comp (individual match play against the course) yesterday. Anyone could enter but max handicap was 18. Now I am not sure whether that was Playing or Course handicap - I am assuming Playing Handicap so that no player got more than 1 shot on any hole.54 handicaps!

I played a 4BBB Open last weekend and the max playing h/c allowed was 24. We had 1 guy who should get 26 but he is ashamed of that so he didn't pull a face
. I don't blame any club for having some limits.
Which club is that? - I used to live in Peterborough many years ago
Thorpe Wood GC.
I knowIt's a lovely friendly club so no one wants to complain.
Such an English statement
I know exactly the hole you are talking about - had my first ever comp win (a medal) on Orton Meadows back in the early 90s - they didn't give you a hint of where the flags were back then.
