I got cut 0.4 after last weeks mid week medal which takes me down to 8 after a round which included a quadruple and two doubles and then 1 over for the other 15, stupid game.
How many!!!!!!!

For handicap purposes Yup. If you have basically wiped out on a hole during a medal beat to simply NR and continue as if you are playing stableford for the rest of the round. Could still buffer or get cut but won't be holding up play to return a stuiply high score.

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Now that does make sense that last bit, always thought you had to play out the hole on a medal. Cheers Bob mah man.
Because it was a Medal of course! Stableford is much more sensible for average club golfers.

Pretty certain you can still pick up in a medal!
Not if you want to win it you can't! However you can put in a card for handicap with one or more N/R's in it.

How many medals have you won with an 18 on your card!

So why does no-one ever tell this to new players? Would help speed up medal play.

Exactly, I'm sure these people aren't holing out for 18 because they believe they can still win the comp. I know when I first joined my club no one explained about being able to pick up but still get cut.
I know somebody who came 2nd in a Medal with a 13 on his card. After that was rounded down to a nett double bogey, he also got a substantial handicap cut!

Was chatting to a guy at the weekend who had a 21 on our par 5 last in our foursomes medal board comp. A 6 on the last would have won them the trophy. They both whacked a few out of bounds, before topping one into the long grass off the first.....he said it was a good 2 putt for a 21 though !!!
