Official 2015 HFH Handicap Challenge

Another 0.1 back last night after the mid week medal, puts me now on 20.5 and into Cat 4, the way I'm playing I'll be off 22 come H4H day, some drastic changes are needed, like taking up tiddleywinks
 
Had a poor Captains Day last Sat so now upto 12...... 11.5 precisely. On family holiday on Arran for the next week so H/Cap safe for the meanwhile ;)
 
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

5.4 now, I really am terrible at this game :thup:
Back in feb at Aberdovey we played off scratch as 7 handicappers, your now a cat 1 golfer and I am now a crap 9 handicap golfer :rofl:

Well done Iain :thup:

Well done Iain :thup:

I suspect we're both working our way back to 7 mate! :thup:

I've 1 more comp in cat 1 then I'll probably never be near it again!!!
 
Having played qualifiers all a Winter, I've not played one yet this Summer! I think I under-estimated the impact of my Daughter arriving, although I'm playing in the Club Champs in 3 weeks so I'll get at least 1 in.
 
Haven't been here for a while. Couldn't stomach the sight of all Rick's cuts ;)

But now he's back on an upward tick, it's safe to stick my head above the parapet and report a fourth consecutive 0.1 which sees me back to 8.0 on the nose.
 
36 hole scratch comp at Gullane #1 yesterday. Disappointing scores compared with how I played and definitely a missed opportunity for a decent cut in the morning - was seven over par for the round and seven over par for two holes (quadruple bogey 8 on 18 - aaaaaargh!!) !!

However the vagaries of stableford adjustments and CSS means that I still got a 0.2 cut for that. No disasters in the afternoon but harder conditions, only slightly better score but no S/A so ended up bang on handicap.

Anyway back down to 3.5, touching distance of 3 again if I can cut out the stupid mistakes!
 
Now I'm a useless 14 handicapper (13.5) I suppose I'd be willing to take part in the challenge even knowing that I am a certainty to be paying out

Who's up for taking on an old vet ?
 
WARNING TRUMPET BLOWING AHEAD: Had a decent result on Saturday, won the 36 hole Kirkwall Open, which is one of the Orkney "majors". Won it in a play off against the guy who beat me in a play off for the County Championship a month ago. Got a chop of 0.5 so handicap down to 4.9

Go for it - plenty of days when trumpet blowing is not available. :thup: Well done.
 
The HDID email has landed...:D Smugness alert.:whoo: CSS was 73, and my nett 69 sees me drop from 5.6 to 5.1.

It also says 1st place - a double :whoo: :whoo:
