How many comps do you consider "healthy"?

Medal play is the test so I play as many comps as I can and hope to get in at least 30 this year.

That's a figure I can only dream of. I only get one weekend off a month so I will play 15 to 20 maximum medals/medal rounds this year including 36 hole opens etc.

Young family and shifts are not ideal but I expect to play more this year than previous.

Two rounds today; bang on handicap this morning, 0.4 cut this afternoon to get back to 7 and qualify for county champs match play! Roll on the next comp!

Meh!

I have at least 5 handicap qualifying rounds before the mac so plenty of scope to go back up...... or maybe down to 6!

My club sound like the opposite of most posted so far. We have a comp every Saturday and most Sundays, plus a mid week medal/stableford which rotate each week plus there is usually a nine hole qualify most weeks. I've played 4 qualifiers and 2 4bbb so far and I've missed the last two mid weeks medals. Plenty of opportunity to play qualifiers really. We have quite a large membership so maybe this helps and takes the pressure off in only playing them on a Saturday.

Well played :thup:

How did you get on in the Interclub comp on Saturday? I was out on the course ahead of the matches, but we crossed paths as I was teeing off on the 12th one of the matches was playing up the 5th.

Not great! We got knocked out in the quarter final on Friday night.

Difficult conditions, tough opponents and, unfortunately, my swing fell apart about half way round.

Sorry to hear that, better luck next year

Play every medal I can.
Really keen to reduce my handicap this year.
Not going brilliantly so far, had a 2x shot cut from playing in a open at an away course, then 2x consecutive 0.1 increases at my home course after playing badly.
The last medal I shot within buffer (2x over) so no change.

5 competitions a week if I'm on my days off. !! Sat/Sun/Weds with my home club and Tues/Thurs with an affiliated club.
Leave Monday and Friday to practice without a white card in my pocket. The only problem is a swift rise in the handicap if the swing
goes AWOL
