*cough* Bandits *cough*

Only joking, well done lads....some good shooting there!

 

[Parmo]

Congrats fellas, would have thought my net 59 on 4BBB would have done the trick but no to avail, once again well done.

 

[Imurg]

Knew there was a reason I didn't enter!!

lets face it Nett 70 doesn't set the world alight does it?

Well done to the winners - good shooting

 

[KeefG]

I cant even lie a good enough score! lmao

The post I put on Mike's other thread about me & Vig shooting nett 61's still wouldnt have been enough....how bad is that?

 

[PeterPumpkinEater]

Cheers Mike.

I had completely forgot about this until reading your reminder post this morning. I was going to create a post on Saturday as 'A Game Of Two Halves', as my Gross score for the front 9 was -1 (34) and 8 over for the back 9 (42).

To be honest tee to green I was fairly average but my putter (New Bettinardi) was working like a wand and I was holing them from everywhere.

Ironically, I played 9 holes yesterday morning (back 9) and registered a level par round with 14 putts!

Congrats to the winners!

I wouldn't have won anything, I played in a 4BBB and we only got 39 points, but I had a thoroughly enjoyable game on sunday. The reason it was so good?

I used my new putter and it was brilliant, didn't three putt once and holed some unusually long ones

I must admit, I even pumped the fist on a couple of occasions

You can imagine what the lads were saying to me in the clubhouse!! It's amazing what a long and straight driver does!

We have a medal on the 14th June and I am hoping I can repeat this! My confidence is sky high at the moment! Gross 79 on Saturday, 76 on Sunday and 73 on Monday.

Amazing how a gross score of 98 provokes no reaction which i got in the October Stableford, yet a Net 57/61 with 3 golf balls up for grabs and you're basically a cheat!! Don't get me wrong i've also accused others of Banitry or being a Shark, but I was very pleased to record my score on Saturday irrespective of this.

 

[Spoff]

I should have entered this, I went round in 40 on Saturday.



It was a nine hole par 3 course mind...

 

[TipTopGolfer]

Well Done Winner's!

I am a little confused by this one read all posts again don't see any mention of cheating

Gross 79 on Saturday, 76 on Sunday and 73 on Monday.

Isn't that 30 under your handicap in 3 rounds. Who mentioned rule 19? lol
What are you off now?

 

[simplyme]

The scores aren't up yet, I won't get touched for monday as it was bb but for Saturday (1.8) and Sunday (3) I am looking at 10.9?

Erm yes I was wondering where that came from , guilty conscience perhaps

 

[PeterPumpkinEater]

Not the exact word, but the insinuation:-

"Cough Bandits cough"
"unbeleivable scores , net 57/61"
and from your good self...
"Its not often I'll call someone a bandit but if the sombrero fits and all that"

I'm not making a big thing of it as it happens every single day at every course in the land and it's all good natured fun.

And then you've got to play to the new handicap - good luck!
