I don’t think they should use the term ‘stableford’ then as that is what is confusing everyone. I played with a 2 handicapper today, he finished +1, 1 bogey on 18 against 1 eagle plus 1 birdie on a shot hole.

Calm down cupcake and read my post again, I haven’t said ‘you’, I’ve stated ‘they’, as in my club clearly saying that this bogey Comp was a qualifier and also based on stableford scoring for handicap purposes, nowhere was I told it was a simple formula of taking away the holes I lost against the holes I won and then that variable number coming off the course par, ie; I was 3 down, thus 36 -3 = 33 whereas I was led to believe I had 31 points using a stableford format to the side, hence 2 formats, which I was saying from the outset I thought was wrong.

But in a bogey you should never know what your stableford score is. A minus is a minus. Pick it up.
We were told to put our gross scores down, obviously not like a medal, then simply if it was a half 0, + if won or - if lost, it’s not rocket science to not know what you’d be scoring stableford wise, especially if you almost get a shot a hole.
Of course you’d pick up once the hole was lost, if you missed the put for a half why would you carry on?

I get that but in my scenario above if I'd been playing stableford I'd have got a .6 cut but because it was Bogey I'd only get .2...
Seems a bit weird that's all.....
BTw...I've never played Bogey....

I have this annoying ability to have a good round then it seems like a switch flicks on and says what you doing under par!!!!
4 under standing on 14th and go bogey, double, birdie, bogey, double and end up 72 +1 in first round of club champs. 😡

My wife just called to say she hit a gross 102 on the Old Course at St Pierre. That's at least 3 under.... she's never broken 100 in a medal....but getting close.
Better than my net 76 yesterday and woeful showing at Sunningdale

a Very strange Greensomes tie today.
They contacted us some 6 weeks ago as soon as we won our last game, but then refused all the dates we gave them and insisted in playing today.. the last day for this round.
They were getting 6 shots and were very quite, didn't really speak tous or say good shot i, well i say quite they were quite happy to talk amunge themselves when we adressed the ball or where about to hit shots. Had very slim grasp of the rules on 3 occasions they were told the time was over 3 mins seaching for balls and carried searching on regardless.
The 16 handcapper had a wicked short game and got the ball out of some horrendos spots and never left his partner with any tricky puts.
had to go to extra holes, and shook hands on the 19th.
They didn't want to go for a drink and headed straight off to their cars and were gone.
so though to the quarter finals.

Portstewart scratch cup today.
Rained all day. Played off the blue tees which was about 7100 yards. Completely drenched. The pins were all at the back of the greens and the tees right back. Was crazy that they did that. Was set up longer than the Irish open.
Was meant to be 36 holes but they reduced it to 18 due to the weather.
Played okay but couldn’t stop the bad holes. Finished on 91 for a net 82.
Luckily it was reduction only.
Think a plus 2 handicapper won it with a 78/79 gross.
Never been so wet in my life but what a course. Absolutely fantastic and loved every moment of it.

Played this morning in our roll up.
Actually played quite well didn’t score great but didn’t hit one bad tee shot, just some average irons into greens , lovely to play in cool conditions compared to Sunningdale.

Unbelievable. Best 9 I’ve ever played I think. The 3rd was 220 into the wind. I hit 3 wood and was 10/15 short.
4th was like 600 yards. Smoked a drive and just made the fairway. Too tough haha

Played at Notts Golf club, level par front nine, 2 lost balls on the back nine, for 7 over, 3 birdies. Wife clattered the pin on the par 3 5th, we thought she was going to get a HIO but wasn't to be.
What a setting and feeling of space around the course, some great holes, a few quirky holes, couple of holes unplayable for the wife. Really enjoyed the course, great fun, bit warm at 24ish degrees Friday afternoon.
A cracking course and will be back for sure, for £25 I paid, got to be green fee bargain of the year.
Sat played in a charity day, left a proper score out there, oh well...buffered again, came 15th with 37 points, tough school

After my recent success at Sunningdale it was time for the Club championship over 36 holes and I had high hopes to continue with my way of playing now back at my home track.
My bandit scores from Sunningdale was gone with the wind handing in my card after the first round. Gross 88 for a net 76. Oh well, no pressure then going out for the second time around in the afternoon. Gross 76 for a net 64. Finished second in the net comp, and should see a nice cut to my handicap.
I believe that there may be a few others than myself that are happy to hear that.

Had a friendly match with Thorney Park today, this was our home leg in return for the match we played at their place a month or two ago - which I had forgotten until that we'd won 6-0. 4BBB match play, 6 pairs for each time again. I paired with my mate, he's off 13, our opponents were off 10 & 13 so I got a few shots in places.
I played awfully for the front nine, couldn't hit an iron properly, driving was a bit ropey, and I had a chipping nightmare on the 4th which is very unlike me as my chipping is usually reliable. Luckily my partner got us off to a good start winning the 1st, I finally had a good hole on the par 3 5th to get us a half, then the 6th hole was pretty laughable. My mate has put two balls out of bounds so he's out of it. Their 10 hcap has hit his second off a tree and out of bounds. Their 13 hcap was hacking around on the left. I pulled my drive, sliced the second into a push, took a drop out, one pitch chip and decent 10 foot putt later, I actually won the hole for us with a double bogey, and I wasn't even getting a shot on that one!
We went into the back nine 1 up though, and I started playing really well from that point. I played the five holes from 11 to 15 in level par (one birdie one bogey three pars), but only the birdie actually got us a win so we were 2 up going to the 16th.
On the 16th though I had an absolute brainfart. Somehow I miscalculated and thought I'd lost the hole when I still had a putt for a half. So with them only one down their 13 hcap was the only one to hit the green on the par 3 17th, but luckily for us (well me) he missed 2 and a half footer to win the hole which would have put them all square on the last. And the last was eventful, as their 13 hcap put his drive in the ditch, my partner did the same with his second, and their 10 hcap was having a mare as well. I managed to make a 5 to win the hole so we won our match 2 up in the end.
We won overall 5-1 on the day making it 11-1 overall. Bit of a whitewash really! Very enjoyable day though.

One session last night on the range and that was it and I think my golf is going to be largely on the practice ground for the next 3 weeks (at least) until I get used to hitting the ball out of the middle of the club and not the hosel.
I've got a couple of simple little exercises to repeat, repeat every on the range evening I can with maybe 3 doz balls - no more - with me not bothered about the actual shot that results - it only has to come from anywhere on the clubhead but the hosel. I simply must get rid of the thinking that has me standing over every single shot with the same single thought in mind. If that means I don't go on the course for the next three weeks ,four weeks whatever, then so be it.
