Medal off the back tees.

[FourPutt]

Played my first medal of the year off the blue championship tees yesterday, having just been cut to 20.4 off a supplementary score. Main aim as I went out was not to get that 0.1 back and go up to 21. I know that's not really the way you should think, but I think it might have helped.

I played sensibly from rough etc, didn't try and go for everything and also found that my putting practice is paying off. Had 9 1-putts in my practice round the day before and managed to get another 5 yesterday.

Irons were still a bit shaky after my lesson a fortnight ago, but managed to hold it together fairly well. Played well off the tee and my short game was good too.

Managed to card an 87 (gross 67)

On that note, where does 0.4 cuts end and 0.3 cuts start?

You're there! 20.4 means that you are a cat3 golfer and your cuts will now be -0.3.

Well played by the way

Well done Fourputt that should see you get a really nice cut.

Btw 'gross' is your actual score and 'nett' is after your h/c comes off

You should listen to Smiffy.
He's an expert on Cat III scoring as he is Cat III himself.

Well played fella, that has been coming for some time!!!!

Well done. It's all to easy to get psyched out by playing off tees further back than you're used to.

Cheers guys.

Jammy, I realise that mate, it was early in the morning!

Got the handicap secretary to check my handicap today and I'm off 18.3

Went out today in the roll up off my new handicap and got 26 points... whoops!

Just got to wait to see if I win the comp now. With the wind and rain today, I reckon my 67 is safe as houses!
