I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

Just looked at some of the scores in our first medal of the year today. Guy off 16 shot 110, that's 40 over par. No NR, kept going. Used all his shots up before he holed out on the 6th hole. Must have been fun for his playing partners and the group behind.

Friendly round with my 28 hcap mate, off yellows. Started poorly with three doubles in the first four holes. Had a good spell from 9th to 13th with four pars in five holes. Ended up shooting 87 for 33 points, so not too bad, pretty average round really. The greens are as fast as anything I've ever played at the moment. The 15th was a bit of a joke, the pin position had to be illegal. My mate hit an 8 foot up to the flag which was a few inches short, then rolled right back to his feet. I four-putted that green and felt like it wasn't a bad result.

What do you mean by that? It's not like 110 is a crazy amount of shots.

Yup, we had a 19 handicapper shoot net 100. It's pretty poor stuff. There is no need. After about 4 holes, it's obvious you are not really in the comp anymore, and the handicapping rules allow you to pick up.

what ?! 110 ! From a 16 handicapper - 40 shots more than handicap. That’s shocking - should have NR’d and i certaintly wouldnt want to be stuck behind that level of play in a competition or in the same group.

Couple of firsts for me today. Holed out with a full shot on the 5th for an eagle & thanks to WHS it is a shot hole so "2 for 5" ?
After 6 holes I was 1 under, and 16 points. Should have left the course then though ?

It is for a 16 handicapper who is clearly not going to trouble the leaderboard. It is also not going to count as one of his eight counting scores so all he is doing is holding up the field.

In terms of pace of play his handicap is irrelevant. 110 isn't a totally ridiculous number of shots, I've seen plenty of people shoot more than that in medals before.

Or playing a round of golf.

Played 18 general play comp -
Anyway point of order - i hit a bad tee shot at the 11th and one of my PPs then actually immediately tried to give me a lesson

Who gets the penalty - him or me - i didn't aadd anything and signed my card

Him

First comp at new place. Played with handicap secretary and scored 35 points. Then realised I hadn’t signed in before playing so it doesn’t count . Just as well I was nowhere near winning, as there were already 2 scores of 41 in by the time we finished

Round my course if you go off the fairway you are in trouble. A 16 capper isn't likely to be topping and duffing his way round, those dropped shots are going to be caused by errant shots into the rough resulting in a lot of time looking for balls.

Do you have a twos pot and do you have a rule that says 2s only get paid if the round is completed?

People shouldn’t be scoring that high in medals if they are a 16 handicapper - if they already know they aren’t going to trouble the scorers then pick up when the score has got ridiculous and move on. I can not imagine how many holes his group lost on the group in front.

Wish clubs would put on a limit when it comes to medal - play to a certain level first before being allowed to enter them

That's fine - it's just in my opinion I think he's within his rights to play his round if he wants to. There's no rule saying you have to N/R if you're not going to win is there.

Yes we have a 2's pot but you don't need to complete your card to get paid out. We had 2 guys today that NR'd with 2's and they will get paid out.

Took my dog for a walk there last weekend as our caravan is on a site just past there and thought the greens looked ok

Blimey, what's your greens like if you thought they were good!
