Under the "guidelines" you're right.
But there are many, many courses where difficulty is the prime determining factor in allocation of SI....

I can't remember any course I've played that the stroke index was as low as 2 for the first hole, I'm sure the guidelines say it should be no lower than 8 or 9 , but maybe I'm wrong in that

On the plus side, nice to see you playing with a modicum of consistency even with a sandy something or other!!Just need to try and get it done for the full 18. Keep fit, keep playing and hopefully you'll get that handicap down in 2019

played in our 12 hole rollup stableford comp yesterday, what a strange round, I had two 4 point holes, two 3 points, two 2 points, four 1 points, and two blobs. talk about erratic!

Enjoyable 18 holes round the Queens course at Gleneagles, played rubbish but was a grand day out, expensive mind

 

[Anj71]

Best ever round at St Mellons in Cardiff. 72 whacks. Beat my handicap by 9 shots. Playing easy mind.

Another steady day at the office..
1 point better than Wednesday (38 Vs 37), still 1 blob though....20 out, 18 in
Still dodgy off the tee with the driver but the 4 wood worked well.
Had 3 or 4 birdie putts miss by no more than a couple of inches so could have been even better.
Nice steady play...

35 points yesterday, should have been better but driving went to pot towards the end of the round and cost me on 3 of the last 4 holes. Still, pretty happy with my game at the moment, things do seem to be going in the right direction.

Somehow managed to scrape through the 2nd round of our Winter Knockout. First 9 holes absolutely shocking an embarrassment the lowlight being losing a par 4 in 7 with my opponent 3 off the tee, would have scraped 10pts in a Stableford. Fortunately my opponent was almost as poor and I only went to the turn 1 down.

Back 9 was better managed 18pts which was good enough for me to square the match on the last. Finally won it on the 21st. Stupid, stupid game.

played with the boys this morning heavy fog in Inverness get to Delnies ( half a mile before Nairn) bright sunshine. played OK, had a hole in one on the 4th, 166 to the flag , one bounce and in. 6 iron not a breath of wind

i didn't see it but my PP both did, slightly blind tee shot where the tee was today. 3rd for me, cheap too as only 12 of us as we didn't play till 10.20

Nice calm day, started well, threw a double bogey and then tried to chase the game and wheels came off!
Reminder to self to stay calm.
Good to be out though

Completely different player to yesterday, hardly missed a fairway in 75 blows.

 

[bluewolf]

5 over through 15 holes with 3 x 3 putts. Stupid game.

 

[jim8flog]

Played today 35 points but about 8 shots dropped due to putting. The difference in our greens in just 2 weeks in enormous, mainly the drop in pace but the longer grass (bent) is making the borrow much more noticeable on the very slow putts.

Played one of the knockouts today, 5 clubs only including the putter. Took the 4 wood, 6 iron, 9 iron and 52 which served me well. Conditions were great, excluding the painful temporary green early in the round.

3 up at the turn and a few wheels came off, back to 1 up on the 17th I had to rely on him three putting to take a one shot lead onto the last. Both miss the green and his chip over a bunker finishes about 3 inches off the hole. Two putts for a half I line up and sink a whopping 50 footer for a birdie and a win 2 up! Bring on the next round.

Played Friday off the yellows and shot 39 points to take the money. Didn't feel I played well but had an empty head devoid of any swing thoughts and just hit it. Played yesterday and struggled to 29 points which may have been more had I not lost a ball on the last under some leaves in the semi-rough which was annoying. Played again today and managed 30 points but played crap. All in all a mixed bag. Day off work tomorrow so may have to hit the practice ground and work on a few things

Saturday, Stockley Park, only 12 quid for Midday rate. Started off reasonably well, 18 points front nine. Bogeys on 10th and 11th so still ok. Then the wheels fell off, lost the plot completely. Blob, 9, 8 on the next three. My head was gone, swing was gone. Hit a great drive on the 15th and then I was fine again. Still don't know what happened! Only 12 points on the back nine so 30 points overall for 15 decent holes.

 

[Grant85]

Played one of the best 9 holes of my life yesterday at East Ren. 3 pars, 5 bogeys and a double.
I know it doesn't sound great, but have been really struggling to shoot in the 80s since coming back to golf.
Kept the ball in play and a good combo of decent drives, decent irons, approaches, chips and putts.

Was 21 points to the turn. Made a stupid double on 10 off a great drive and kind of limped home in the back 9, finishing 7, 7, 7. (all par 4s).

Course really in very great nick for this time of year.

Played some great stuff today started poorly 5 over for the first 4 holes then I started to make some pars and a birdie on the 13th 8 over on the 16th and on route to my best score, 9 over for the 17th then something that I never expected happened on the 18th, the ball was on the left side between the fairway and rough and a bluming crow was peeking at my ball then picked it up in his beak and flew away, never thought that was possible with a crow

 

[upsidedown]

TeeTour event at Hollinwell and my first visit there. Was a tad chilly at time but then glorious when the sun came out, some excellent holes that not only look good but are blinking hard to play. Chuffed to bit to come off having shot 75 , team had 80 .
