H4H Challenge - Handicap Updates for March

Have been working on some swing changes with my Pro, and to say they are not grooved yet would be an understatement! Seem to be getting a sweet strike at the range, but suspect I am overthinking when on the course instead of just going with what i've got on the day.

Played Woodhall Spa Open at the weekend and was embarrassingly poor! :(.....what with that and just missing buffer in a medal it's been an unhappy start to the season and 3 x .1's back.

I can always ask my Mrs to sing us a number :D

how are the new irons going anyway?

She'll kill you for that one if she reads your posts"

I played yesterday in a 4 BBB bounce game and shot sub par (net). They definitely are easy to hit and the bad shots are better than with the AP 2's I played with 3 players at the same handicap level as me and was not far off their driver length with my 4 iron, if I wasn't hitting my driver so well I'd use it more off the tee

Yours must have been a good round last week?

She can't read, she's too thick! :D

Sounds like the new bats are doing the job for you, just hopefully not too good (at least until after H4H)!

Had our first Medal yesterday morning. Had been up all night with 2 poorly kids and hadnt played for a couple of weeks so turned up on the tee with no expectations of a good round what so ever. End up playing very steady for a gross 75 (par 71) which hopefully should see me cut by a full shot. Although give it another 10 comps and I will no doubt be back to where I started, lol
 
Just give my update but have winter league so will no doubt be adjusted when we start in a week or two........Unless I win the winter league final as they have been known to do the handicaps after a couple of jars and if I win it can be painful and an evening in front of the committee is usual.

Always good for the banter though!

Best of luck to everyone and roll on the better weather.

Hit em straight ...ish
 
Just realised now a medal winner on posts hey hey its an Omen for the final on Saturday !!!!!

I live in hope, not saying it is an hard school but 43 pts a few weeks ago 2 blobs and a 1 pt, 24 pts back, beat on card playoff as blobbed on back nine finished third beat on back six count back.

Still bring on the final.

Hit em Straight ...ish
 
First qualifier of the year today and looks like I'll be getting a full shot cut, so put me down as 8.9. Chrisd is going to need more than new irons to catch me up!

Can a mod please delete this post and all related ones as yesterday's comp has just been declared a non qualifier meaning no cuts can be made!

Can someone please contact chris's wife and ask her to go check him as I think he may have just weed!

How can they adjust handicaps after winter comps which are presumably off a shorter course? Sounds a bit iffy to me.

You can't declare a competition a non-qualifier after it has been played :confused:
