• We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!

It was nice while it lasted...

Why is It after a rubbish winter, weather wise, that now the fairways are in perfect nick, the greens are true and fast-ish my mate and me can't string a half decent score together?
Imurg I feel your pain, it will get better.
 
Ian, just a temporary blip I'm sure.... :thup:

I managed a 5 over in the medal today.....hoping CSS will go up by 1 to get me back to CAT 1.....shouldn't have needed to rely on it though.....dropped 3 shots on the par 3's and turned an eagle putt into a par :o .....oh well.....
 
Predictably, tbis mornings comp was over for me by the turn.
7 bogeys and 2 pars is not a way to keep a 5 handicap going!
A bit better on the back 9 but 28 points =a return to Cat 2 and a playing handicap of 6 unless the unthinkable happens and everyone played as badly and the comp goes RO...
Just no consistency at all. I'll play one hole like a Scratch handicapper and the next like a 28'er, I'll smash a drive down the middle then miss the green by 30 yards with a wedge or slice into the clag, hack out, play a career 4 iron and make a par....
Only 1 double booger and 1 3 putt - the rest just solidly below average....
Hugely frustrating.......

I feel your pain. I did exactly this on Saturday, more than once. I missed so many greens from inside 100 yards that it stopped being funny after the 3rd hole.

However, you're obviously too good for it to last. No doubt you'll get back down soon.
