H4H Handicap Challenge 2014

[Stuey01]

Shot 78 today in the medal. Par 70 SSS 70. I await the CSS to see what cut, might see me get a second ESR in a few weeks.
Only 1 over on the front 9 but had a few sloppy doubles on the back.

Well happy anyway, haven't just played to my new handicap, smashed it.

CSS was 70. I'm down from 12.7 to 10.6
Can't quite work out why it isn't 10.4 though. I was 5 under CSS, I was thinking 3*0.3 + 2*0.2 + 1.0 ESR = 2.3 cut which would take me to 10.4.
Anyway, well happy with that.
I was 3rd in the comp, the winner had an albatross and 4 birdies, off a 17 hcapoo:

I think the 10.6 is correct. It will be 1 x 0.3 and 4 x 0.2 giving a 1.1 cut before the ESR.

Another little cut after a few .1s in the bag. Now down to 16.6.
This is looking like it could be close between us.

Yes it's looking a good contest,I've gone up to 16.9 after a few .1s

Sadly after 2 comps this month I have not had a change. Fingers crossed for next week!

LOL I took on a right bandit... 6 shots in a couple of months :rofl:

Sadly I've only played 1 comp and my .2 cut in that isn't going to get me very far... Well done :thup:

Yes, you are right. I forgot that cat 2 starts at 12.4, not 12

LOL. Thanks Davey.
I was due some decent results, but have exceeded expectations somewhat. You need to start playing some comps mate.

I'm up to 18.4 now after the worst round of my life Saturday - 13 points, and I still didn't come last out of our 3 it was just one of those days. I actually putted pretty well but was shocking everywhere else.

 

[Siren]

up 0.1 for me back to 13.0

 

[DAVEYBOY]

Just back from a stableford comp... Hit 2 fairways, had 2 blobs on the front nine and just generally played poorly off the tee. 2 birdies and another round of excellent putting with my new flatstick helped me scrape 37 points out of a not so good round.

This should see me down to 16.7 and slowly but surely I'm knocking it down. I've played 2 comps this season and shot 37 points in both and I'm sure I've got a 40+ points round in me.

 

[DAVEYBOY]

Came 2nd in the comp with 37 points but as usual the winner had 47 points with a blob so no cut for me

No cut? Why not? Did CSS go down?

 

[DAVEYBOY]

Went to 69... Kick in the balls not even getting a .2 cut for 37 points and 2nd place

 

[DAVEYBOY]

How does CSS work? I've just had a look back on some comp results and one comp (Only 3 entered) was won with 42 points and the other 2 players had 41 points but the CSS was 70? Not sure if they where a 3 ball

Yet my comp yesterday had the winner with 47 points me in 2nd with 37 points then 3rd place had 34 points but the CSS went to 69?

It's based on what proportion of the field hit buffer or better, nowt to do with the winning score.

It's 0.3 per shot in cat 3, not 0.2.

 

[full_throttle]

75 net in medal today, no chance of buffer so expecting to join the 0.1 club

 

[evahakool]

Up .1 to 17 after playing really poorly yesterday,better today with 4th place in comp. ( 2nd 3rd 4th had net 72) so hit buffer.

Senior Open tommorow so hoping for a good score

 

[NWJocko]

Played my first qualifier of the season on Sunday.

0.1 back, up to 6.8......

Scored better when racing round on Friday for the Longest day :rofl:
