74 blows in the midweek comp today, -5 net so a little cut on its way. If SSS stays put then should be 1.0 and me down to 6.1 but wouldnt be surprised if CSS is 1 lower and hence cut at 0.8 (wont find out until the weekend as our midweek comps run all week!)
Pressures on Hawkeye
41 points was good enough to win the comp by 1, CSS stayed at level par so the full 1.0 cut, down to 6.1 again

1st round of our Club Champs today. After a bad start to say the least with a 6 on the par 4 SI 17 1st, a 6 on the par 5 SI 7 2nd and a 5 on the par 3 SI 4 3rd things were going wrong.
I finished up sneaking a 0.4 cut and am in the 2nd last group out 6 shots behind the leader. I've got no chance of winning but the handicap continues to go in the right direction. Today was a good day.
All time low of 8.1. I may just get to 7 at some point.

We had a comp off the yellows last night and I proved what I have always said that it doesn't matter what colour the tees are if you hit the ball like a knob. 1st hole, down from 229yds to 163, shank OB. 2nd hole, shanked 2nd into rough, 3rd, duffed drive into ESA. 4th, pulled drive OB, it didn't get much better - 7 points on the front nine 
I managed to rally and scored 19 on the back including a blob on 17 after pulling my tee shot OB.
The most frustrating thing of all was the 8th, I hit a semi shank which clattered into a tree and buried in the long grass so I hit a provisional which as is normal I hit to about 2 feet so told my FCs not to bother looking for the first. As we're approaching the green, a "kind" player in the group behind who had seen my ball clatter into the tree and gone to look for it calls over "Are you playing a Taylormade with a blue circle?" which of course I was so had to go and play it - blob number 3
On the plus side, I was playing with my mate and his two boys off of 2 and 4 who generally drive the ball miles. On the last 4 or 5 holes when we were all destined for 0.1 they decided to do a long drive comp on each hole for a fiver.
All I can say it wasn't the kids with the extra stiff shafts and 100+ mph swing speeds that were playing their approach shots last as I did the forum proud :swing:
Would have rather not had the 0.1 though

Yeah but you were never really a 20+ handicapper, but well done all the same :smirk:

I'm guessing your having a few problems with the shanks of late then? :rofl:

True. It's down to a level where I am entering comps now. Hated it being so high.

How the hell did you ever get a +20 Handicap?...... someone not doing their job properly by the look of it.

He had 3 shockers when he joined his new club... I also believe he was on to win the KOK regional qualifier at Woodhall Spa which I played in but he decided to put a few bad swings in there and loose a ball or 2

Nope, just those two, not hit one in months before, didn't one yesterday, don't expect to hit another one for months. These things happen, but they are what they are, no need to dwell on them.

Up to 9(8.5) after yesterday even though I played pretty well. I shot 80 for 34 points but can account every dropped shot to complete and utter carelessness. With CSS going down (which is rare) I now get a shot on the last. Quite how I can play that well and miss the buffer is beyond me, that's golf I suppose

I'm up to 8.4 and struggling.
Having a couple of weeks off will hopefully do me good................

Down to 17.4 after a soild 2 rounds in the club championship, only the last round was qualifying so only got cut 0.3
Think the handicap sec will be keeping an eye on me though as i've played pretty solid all year apart from 2 rounds really.

A lost ball on the 17th in a spot between two holes where you'd never expect to lose one cost me two shots and I missed my buffer by one on Sunday, back to 8.5 and 9 playing.
