Gutted

[Region3]

Since I started playing again last year I always said that my aim was to get my handicap as low as I can, whether or not I win anything on the way.

It's fine saying that until you have a chance to win one of the board comps.

I played in the final of the club matchplay this morning, and I really wanted to win.

End result... I got spanked 7&6

My 11 h/c opponent played the best anyone has ever played against me. His scores for the 12 holes we played were...

Birdie
Par
Birdie
Double

Bogey (nett Par)

I've got no complaints as I didn't play well enough to win, but I wasn't bad enough to get beat that many.
He just had one of those days.

If you read these forums Dale, very well done

Well he's played well to be fair!

Don't worry about it. People have days like these and you will to. Unfortunately he had his day in the comp final. s**t happens!

If you didn't play badly then focus on any positives you can take.

Unlucky for not winning but you still got to the final!!

No shame in getting thrashed! Just ask Smiffy

You didnt play my brother did you? lol

Great effort getting to the final though Region3 , looks like he handled the pressure better

Take the positives and use them to make your game better so that next time youre in with a chance youre ready to spank some butt yourself

Funnily enough I don't get nervous playing anything for myself. I've played in the final of a national comp in a team and was absolutely cacking myself, but individual things don't get to me at all.

Plenty of positives to take. I'm still trying to change my swing a bit and it feels like it's almost there now and I hit some good shots.

I think I'm going to peak on Thursday
