Money List Winner
I got a real taste for this last season.... I was paired with a chap off 12 for a foursomes format..... It was touch and go the whole way round but we ended up winning on the 18th....
Anyway this season playing off of 9 i qualify to play in the Jimmy Bruen cup which is a similar format but for lower handicaps.....
As our club hasnt got a big pool of players to pick from it seems that even though trails go ahead its more to find out pairings rather than to see whos playing well and who isnt..
I was at the club on Saturday just practicing away and popped into the restaurant for a toastie for a break and was approached by the club Vice Captain and the Club President both of whom are over our Junior Cup Team.... This Competition is for handicaps from 5 and up and is Singles Matchplay but most that play it as far as i know wont be more than a 7 or 8....
They asked me if id consider playing for the team and i said id jump at the chance as long as my game was ok and i had some kind of form around the time of the Comps..
Has anyone played in a similar comp as a 9 handicap or similar... I know that handicaps are cancelled in these comps and all players play off scratch... But theres a good reason that 5 handicaps are off of 5.....
I can play to my 9 which iv showed yesterday in shooting a gross 79 so its no beyond me but i dropped shots yesterday to 2 stupid tops with a 3 wood..... Both of which would have been really embarrassing if i was in big inter club competition....
Will i be out of my league and should i leave it for maybe another season to get a little more consistency with my swing.... Or just go out with a positive attitude and play as best i can...
