H4H Handicap Challenge 2014

A recent forum ban :rolleyes: has restricted me from updating my HCP progress so here it is...

I have played 3 comps...

First on the PGA which resulted in a boring 35 points with 1 blob (7)

Second on the PGA where I carded 8 pars 1 Birdie and wait for it... 3 blobs (7's) :rofl: Slow play got to me and I lost my head a little but still managed 38 points and my first win of the season. The blobs resulted from a few stray drives which where dead and buried in the jungles that line the fairway.

3rd on the Derby and after a bogey and 6 straight pars to start in very windy conditions I was halted on the 8th with a 3 putt bogie after putting my 2nd within 10ft :angry: The wind finally got to me on the back 9 and my distance control with pitches was non existent so I ended the day with 38 points which wasn't bad but after 22 on the front I wanted a little more.

I also recently went back to the course where I started playing the game (Pype Hayes) and managed to shoot a 77 but with the course only measuring 5600 yards (Par 70) I'm not getting over excited.

Overall I am playing well and my Driver has been performing very well but my putting has been the best it ever has and it's been that way since I put the Odyssey No.7 in the bag.

I'm now off 15.9 so it's very doubtful that I will catch Stu with the winter on its way... I still hope to hit the 14. Something's though.

Another iffy round today in a brutal wind which means another .1 back.

Also the 2 bad rounds in last Sundays comp means I'm up to 14.0
 
Club Championships today, over the two rounds I hit three tee shots OB and had a penalty drop frm a hazard, add to that some iffy putting and it's no surprise I got two 0.1s back.

Now off 8.5
 
Small cut to 12.5, I cant for the life of me think why though. I had 38 points last week in a society game but the cards never go in so im a little stumped at the moment.
 
Can someone direct me to the page to donate my £10?! No way I am winning my competition!
 
I'm still bouncing around on 5.1 ... running out of qualifiers (and patience) before HFH.

Scratch Open next weekend though so CSS is usually a touch above, two level net's should get a small cut. Finger's crossed!
 
Another 38 points today (84 strokes) and the same old story of my season... A decent round with 3 birdies but two 7's on par 4's killed my chances of a big cut, in my defence we where rushing to finish the round and played the 17th/18th in the dark but the four 3 putts where in excusable. Still feels like another missed chance of a big score and a big cut. I'll update HCP when the final results are in.
 
Just had my results for our Dai Jones qualifier on Sunday and I'm shocked to have won it with 38 points with 22 entrants... That qualifies me for the final now and I've been cut .6 to 15.3. 3 birdies won it for me and if it wasn't for my 2 blobs and a 6 on the last I would have looked a right bandit :rofl:

The pins where in extremely difficult spots so I presume the rest of the field struggled with that.
 
Nice shooting DaveyBoy. I'd be well happy with 3 birdies!

Cheers mate one was at tap in but the other two where good putts... The two blobs a 5 and a 7 killed my chances of a big cut though :mad: I'll be happy to finish on 14/15 for the season though.

How u finding it off 11?
