Non-Counting (Gutted)

[FairwayDodger]

Played in the open at Newbattle today and had a great round. Golf just seemed easy today.

I was driving it long and straight (only missed two fairways - both narrowly - and one of those was the longest drive hole so I was whacking it). Iron play was solid - straight at the target although distance control slightly off. Holed a load of good putts.

Shot 76 net 69 (par 72) to win both the scratch and handicap trophies!

10 pars, 6 bogies, 2 birdies and no sixes on the card - nice.

Only dampener is that with 4 temporary greens in play its a non-counter. (I dropped 3 of my shots on these holes ) Looking at the other other scores the CSS would almost certainly have gone up by a couple of shots so I'd have been comfortably down to 6.

Just need to recapture this vibe in Sunday's medal!

Question for handicap experts. Should I report this score to my club, even though it's non-counting?

no expert, but i would guess if temporary greens are in operation then the course wold not be 'measured'

I thought this was now just all done automatically, via the computer systems, sent onto your HOME Club.......??

By all means report it - it should be taken into account when annual review comes around, along with all your other exploits.

Yes, that was why. I was gutted.... me and about two others - nobody else played under their handicap. Course was very soft so playing longer than usual.

Yeah, except I phoned up yesterday for a last minute entry and didn't give them my CDH number.

Good shooting well done. Don't hold out much hope for your Sunday medal because after I have ripped divots all over your course on Saturday you might find yourself in a few:whoo:
