Botley Park final of the HDID. I argued that it should be 3/4 but HDID organiser couldn't see the problem of full allowance.........I had a pretty good round in tough conditions and thought I'd done OK......I came 3rd last!!
3/4 Handicap doesn't prevent sandbagging! It merely assists the lower handicappers - as if they need more!

And the most consistent 17-capper I know has had another good round!

I am not too sure, P Jones & C Wall have plenty of international holidays playing golf for £25-£35 entry fee under their belts!
Current top 3 will have a very good chance to be 10 shots clear of everyone else though.....
Wonder if Saimir is still using a £20 set of irons playing off 2?

Saimir was turning pro last year I heard and it was Darren that had the dunlops, although he got a nice set off direct golf for free after the event! Nice touch, seems there are journey men everywhere, interesting that there are a few people that again have been allowed to play again, seems there rules to reject entry only applies to a few! Oh correction 1 person!I'm sure that tom will have a 37 and a 43 to take it! Wonder what the odds are on bet Fred? Lol

Ricky did you expect any other??? Let's face it the ball flies 40-50 yards further and the greens are really receptive, perfect conditions and with 17 shots even we could get a good score going! Tom isn't the longest off the tee but is straight and with the extra length I'd say he has a great chance!23 points back 9 with a blob!!

Looks like it will be closer than that!

How come there is is no H/C adjustment between rounds? 39 in 1st round off 17, but still playing off 17 in round 2. It's off full handicap so no reason why a CSS can't be calculated....

Well at least he won't be getting any holiday or whatever from my entry money as I steadfastly refuse to enter these farcical comps!

Exactly the point!
If any single figure ability golfer (like Rick) were to be given 17 shots they could get a score going and, sorry, no 17 handicap golfer I know is straight and can hit 50 yards longer in good conditions, they are always 17 for a reason, or they are not 17!

competition rules most likely as its not uncommon for cuts not to be activated until after a multi round comp.

All the multi-round comps I know - Club Champs, 36-holer comps etc - use starting handicap throughout.
Those all adjust afterwards though, something that I'm almost certain won't happen here as the course won't have been rated for Congu, so no SSS.
I'm picking 39 points plus to win.

Can you explain (carefully though
) how a 17-capper can 'put the hammer down'? Farcical!:rant:
