Official 2015 HFH Handicap Challenge

Well Mr Hobbit you'll be pleased to know that having started the year at 5.1 I am now the proud owner of a 5.4 handicap!

3 comp's played, 3 pretty awful rounds adding upto 0.3 increase.

But showing some signs of improvement on the back 9 this weekend.
 
Wow not quite sure how I managed it but, I managed to buffer after shooting 102. That's 9 over handicap. I played quite well generally with 5 pars, 7 bogeysbut 2 10's and 2 7's. I guess that the 10's and 7's gave the idea that I'd got no where near buffer, but Stableford was 33 points.

Really happy so far as I've played two medals at my new club so far and managed to buffer in them both.
 
Yaassss!! If I can get someone to play the medal with on Sunday, I'll be getting a 0.1 to get back up towards 6 :-)

I'm just trying to lull you into a false sense of security.Hope you get a partner for your medal. Got an away open on Saturday and the forecast is a bit iffy, could be 5.6 by Saturday night. Stay tuned.

Two comps in, didn't play the first, was on-call and got as far as putting my bag onto to my trolley in car park but then got called, second I was ill and shouldn't have played, only made the 4th before having to come off, 0.1 back, third time lucky on Saturday, as long as the weather holds, but it's not looking good.
 
Well another round played on a fine Orkney spring day. 30mph hour wind, rain and hailstones absolutely brutal. Actually played not too bad considering. Thankfully it was reduction only so staying at 5.5 for the minute.
 
ads749r I have increased to 13.8, have 3 comps in 3 weeks and feel a cut coming on.
Unlucky pal I was wondering when you was going to post. I've been expecting you to say you been getting big cuts too :) it's been keeping me on my toes. I won't find out till Monday if I been cut or by how much I've been cut. Good luck for your next comp.

I managed to play in the optional stableford on sunday

As predicted a 0.1 was gathered! A shocking display of golf to start the new season!

Up to 5.3
 
Well I thought I'd dodged one a couple of weeks back when CSS went out to +3 but it appears that you can still get 0.1 back even when this happens as HDID now has me at 8.6 :(
