Played with a 3 handicapper on Saturday that was -3 for front nine and still -2 after 14. Wheels came off a tad but still finished +1 to take the money. Never seemed to get out of first gear. Joy to watch
Just had a look at the scorecard not a long course bogies on them 3 long holes would be ok, surprised that first hole is stroke index 2 ,I was under the impression the strike index was recommended not to be lower than 8.
The guideline is that there should be 2 cards , one with SIs for match play and the other for stableford (ie difficulty).
Where I play, like some others, we only have one card with SIs set for stableford , we used to have to 2 but players just got confused and often used the wrong card.
you will have to get used to wind playing there Brian, you only get one day a year with nonePlayed Fortrose today, my golf was absolutely horrendous, weather not great to start with, really cold strong wind and a bit of rain.
Just never got going, was glad when it was done.
You're intimidating him. Play nicelyYesterday with Fragger - the old codger snatching defeat from the jaws of victory...
Frosty seat so putting was virtually impossible to judge as was bounce, spin and run!
A 2 point defecit had become 4 by the 15th tee...this was getting serious!
Fragger proceeds to blob 15 and 16 while I pick up the required 4 points.
We then halve the last two for a countback win for Yours Truly
Today with CVG - foggy to start but no frost or breeze.
18 out, 17 back
Very steady, no drama
Nice sausage, egg and chips for lunch![]()
How did the shaft snap. Raw power or did it meet an obstacle in its parth (intenionally or not)?Lost today. Fair enough. Lost 3 balls in the leaves, annoying, and the shaft broke in my 5w, even more annoying. Expensive day.
