Official 2015 HFH Handicap Challenge

[Region3]

Played in the East of Scotland Championship at Luffness today, my last handicap qualifier before H4H. I shot 75, net 71 against SSS/CSS of 73 so a 0.2 cut for me.

Handicap down to 3.5 and that's my lot for the handicap challenge this year.....

Also narrowly avoided losing a shot for H4Hs, cunning, eh?

After finding out CSS for the comp I played last week and my final comp this weekend just gone, stick a fork in me - I'm done.

4.0

8 cuts this year and got stuffed by an even better year from FairwayDodger. Very well done :clap:

Fiver paid.

Well done! A close contest between us, thought I'd sown it up early in the summer but some great results for you lately certainly made it interesting. :thup: :cheers:

10 cuts for me this year, 1.9 in total so a shame about the ten +0.1s, could have got lower! Next year I need to add some consistency into the mix!

Managed to drop one more notch yesterday in a bogey comp. 2 up against the course but unfortunately CSS went in the wrong direction, so I only dropped 0.3. That puts me on 17.9 now though

Last medal next Sunday before driving down to the hotel for the curry night.

Blimey. You've picked a fine time to hit some form, damn your eyes... Saturday needs to be a good one for me then.

Ps: played!

You had 10 +0.1s back and still managed a 0.9 cut on the season, as a cat 1 player - very impressive year, congrats :cheers:

Cheers! I think it's 10 cuts, 10 buffers and 10 +0.1s over the year. Most of the +0.1s were narrow misses by 1 or 2 shots, including annoying ones where CSS went down. But really need to up my game and play more consistently if I'm going to come down further.

Think of the rest of us - I've had a mare of a season - only had 2 cuts, a 0.2 and a 0.5, finishing the season 0.1 higher than I started.

One of the most socially enjoyable but least successful season's of golf, with 24 Q's - 16 of them Medals, just 1 cut, 12 buffers, & 11 up .1's

I guess I must be close to my potential...... though Medal play is not the easiest way to get down.... not looking good for me reaching single figures before I'm 70.. time is running out.
Need to shoot a gross 75 this Sat to beat Richart

Well just done the results from Sunday and ended up with a .1 cut so will finish the challenge on 5.2

Think you might just have pipped me James, althoughv we've got a Q on Saturday. Currently 5.3.

Get yourself a 0.1 cut and we can cross the finish line hand in hand :cheers:

 

[Break90]

Upto 12.5, one comp left need a personal best to have a chance of winning!!

Still at 10.7, with one more qualifier on Saturday.

 

[daveyc2k2]

Not sure if TSped has had a cut lately or not but I've gone from 16.3 at the start of the challenge down to 14.1 now.

Very happy with that reduction and hopefully more to come

I have never won one of these challenges Dave, so could you shoot a 76, and we would both be happy.

That would be the best gross I've ever made..... a dream..... would be so happy I'd pay-up same as you, Matey:whoo:

I have one last comp before I admit defeat. Been a long hard season, with not even a buffer to keep the spirits buoyed.

A Little spark of something in the last 4 holes on Sunday has give me the slimmest of slim hopes that I can at least buffer this weekend. Will give it my all before parting with another £5.

It aint over until the fat(ish) Irish golfer signs his card on sunday. Ads79er - you got any more comps?

if things stay as they are - I need to shoot 80 to pip you!

I just checked and nope that's it for me now as I'm in mykonos on holiday till Saturday night. You can do 80 you've been building this up for a massive epic showdown. Good luck for Sunday. Carry that positivity from them 4 holes.

My last qualifier before the big day, finished off the way I started, dross.

Well played to rickg, Blue in Munich and mcbroon, £15 duly paid to H4H site

 

[Paperboy]

Congratulations to Stuart (Break90) managed to buffer this afternoon after my lesson on Wednesday. Probably would have got a cut If I had putted half decently

I'll sort out the fiver tomorrow!!

Finished on 12.5. A 0.2 cut over almost 30 comps :sbox:

Unlucky mate. Not sure you should well played to me. Maybe 'barely played' would be more accurate, otherwise I'm sure we'd be closer.

One more comp for me before H4H, this Sunday. Reckon I need a gross 70 to beat Rick.Greens were hollow-tined this week...

Best blow the cobwebs off that fiver.
