Hello Matey
Supremely glad not to have disappointedI had a bet with myself that this would be bought up by you
Supremely glad not to have disappointed
As well as can be expected....hope you get in to H4H
Could have done with some sand and seed on the front 9 today, if I’m honest!
Hope you are keeping well sir!
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.I'd have expected the slope rating at Blackmoor to be higher than that.

What does 113 mean in the overall scheme of things?

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.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 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.
It reads exactly like one of the course guides with the pro tips. "A straight shot is essential here." Cheers for that.“Plot your way round”
“Avoid the heather”
“Keep the ball under the hole”
“Good bunker player”
Well that’s me Fraggered
