And what were the results?

My own club only have competitions between April and the first week of October.

so do you get to play every week or every month or like Rick G, every day?

I’ve played 18 comps… gone up 0.1 seven times. Made Buffer 8 times and had 3 cuts amounting to 1.6.

So my current handicap sits at 6.3

I've played 6 comps in total, 2 of which were unofficial as they were handicap-only rounds in order to gain my opening mark of 21.

Of the 4 that 'counted' I've made 2 buffers, gone up 0.1 once, and had one cut - 1.1 - to 20 exact.

I've only managed 7 competitions so far this year. Would love to play more but sadly work and life get in the way. Big Sam plays loads as does Val.

Got some time off in September so hopefully we get an Indian summer.

A picture says a thousand words, or a couple of dozen......

A meagre 6 for me and 5 0.1's back plus a reduction only.....

Pull out of a couple of comps over recent weeks to have a couple of lessons and some much needed practice rounds. Back to it next weekend.

I've played 9 competitive rounds this season two have resulted in cuts, three buffer zones, the rest 0.1s.
Have managed to come down from 5.0 to 4.5 so far.

10 for me. 8 0.1s back, a cut of .8 and a level handicap round this weekend. I guess that I can call this season a write off so far. I'm hoping for a strong finish and the way I've been striking the ball lately I have every chance of another cut in the remaining 4 medals that I can make.

10 qualifying comps at my club. 2 non-qualifying away comps on Surrey Golf Tour.

Handicap reduced from 9.5 - 7.2

Best round at home club this year - 74
Best round on Surrey Tour - level

Played in a ridiculous amount of team matches hence not being able to play in as many qualifiers as i'd have liked.

I thought I'd played 14 having had a quick look at my record but on closer inspection it is only 12 as I forgot to exclude my ESR cut and brought forward handicap.


Started on 22
5 x 0.1 back
2 x buffer
1 x Reduction Only
4 cuts totaling 4.9 + an ESR of 0.5
Currently 17.1

3 at my home club. and played 7 clubs.

Played in 7 comps this year

4 x 0.1
3 comps where I should have got a 0.1 but didnt - (1 was reduction only, the other 2 were declared as non-qualifier)

Currently 0.4 worse off than when I started, but playing my best golf of the season with 5 comp rounds over the next 4 weeks so fancy a cut soon

Frustrating year so far.

17 medals and 2 opens

1 x 0.3 cut
4 Buffers
14 x 0.1 increase, including 12 without a cut.

Started at 15.1, currently at 16.2

I will play probably 7 or 8 more hc counting medals/opens this year so will finish at worst on 17 but im not giving up hope of getting down lower than I started. I am capable of a score for sure, my 17 medal eclectic score at my own place is 10 under par gross.

25 Comps, 8 Non counting. 13.1's, 1 Buffer and 3 cuts for a total of 1 so up .3 for the year.
I have missed the buffer by 1 point/shot 5 times and 3 times by 2 shots. Need to get more buffers to get the handicap going south.
