Updated list of players.

I have started a reserve list and will intially give preference to forumers. Guests will be welcome and as we always get a lot of drop outs for one reason or another, expect most if not all to get a game. Last year we had over 20 drop outs so be patient ! If you would like to bring a guest please add to guest reserve list. I may also be able to get a few more spaces from Blackmoor nearer the time.

I have started to receive payments for golf and food at Blackmoor. £65 in total. If you would like to pay and don't have my bank details drop me a pm. The bank details are the same as last year, so those that have them please use again.

Donations to the Help for Heroes Charity of £25 can be made using this link. If you have not paid your just giving donation could you please do so as soon as possible. If you can not now play please advise me so I can move up the reserves.

Because I’m sad as hell I thought I’d look up my current playing handicap at Blackmoor. It doesn’t give many additional shots ? damn it

I don't understand all this slope ratings malarkey.
What does 113 mean in the overall scheme of things?

????

Dunno but my course, which is pretty open with not much in the way of bunkers, has slopes of 131 off the white and 128 off the yellow. I think Blackmoor has much more to catch out the higher handicap golfer.

From my understanding a 113 course would be an equal test for both scratch golfers and bogey golfers. As the slope number gets larger, the more shots a bogey golfer will need to compete with the scratch player.

Also interestingly - Blackmoors par is 69 but course rating is 70, ive not seen many courses near me have par below CR - I know CR and PAR are totally different concepts! Just most by me are course rated easier/ equal to par.

You are right, and bogey golfers can definitely compete with scratch golfers. We only have two par fives, but five par 3's. The course is not easy though hence the course rating. In the old days off the white tees the CSS always was either 70 or 71. Last board competition out of 180 plus players only two managed a net 69, and one shot a 70. :eek:

You need to plot your way round, avoid the heather, and keep the ball under the hole on the greens. Unlike a lot of courses short is better than long. You can run the ball into the greens, as there are no bunkers in front, only cut tight into the side of the greens. Being a good bunker player is definitely an advantage. (y):)

It reads exactly like one of the course guides with the pro tips. "A straight shot is essential here." Cheers for that.

Our pro did a series of videos along those lines for the 18 days leading out of lockdown. I was so tempted to do my own parody;

"There's water left and trees right, so the top is definitely the percentage shot here"

"Give it a smack with the driver - at least you can't shank a driver!"
