No idea how many but played as many as I can all season. Started at 10.1 and now 11.2 so not the progress I wanted yet I do believe I am hitting the ball better than last season. I have been close to the buffer zone a few times but still having too many blow up holes that ruin the card.

I'm surprised how little many have played in, thought everyone on here were playing in at least 3 a week.

Played 12 qualifiers and a couple of non qualifying team events. 4 x 0.1s, 1 x 1.6 cut and 7 buffers, I'll get another cut next weekend though (hopefully).

I've not played as many comps as I wanted...... Kids and working shifts put pay to that and thus I haven't adjusted my handicap as I had planned !!!!!

2 x 0.1's
1 x buffer.......

Not had a cut yet in a total of 7 comps since I started playing!!!!

Live in hope for the weekend tho....

I play every handicap qualifier I can. Which boils down to only 20 so far this season, with 7 of those being at away courses.

10 x 0.1
6 x buffer
4 x cut (total - 1.4)

That's bordering on 2 1/2 Seasons for me.....:(

Yeah, it doesn't seem too bad but comps are all front loaded. I played 13 in April/May and only 7 in June/July/August. I've got a couple of opens coming up this month but there are no more (ladies) qualifiers at my own club until September. So basically, when the weather's good (theoretically), course in good nick and my game sharp there's a distinct lack of qualifiers.... :(

Yeah, Fish seems to have this problem too....strange......

Being a Midweeker I get 2 Comps per month from March to November but several coincide with that stupid thing called Work that I have to do from time to time......

I've played in 13 competitions this year (winning 1), I've had three 0.1 increases, 7 buffer zones and 3 0.4 reductions, I've also played one team event which we won but i don't think counted towards handicapping as it was a best 2 from 4 comp.

I have a possible 24 qualifiers April through October. Would have 35 possibles if I was male.... and even more if I was an old man!

Do pub golf outings count as competitions?

I won a Ping Polo shirt and a bottle of Gin last week. The Gin didn't survive the bus journey back and I lost the shirt somewhere!


:eek:

8 - nothing special results wise but generally played ok. Handicap is down on the season at least, so that's a plus.
