Anyone else failed to play to their handicap so far this year...?
Best I've had is 35 points (SSS 37).........

Only played 2 rounds so far this year, neither to handicap. Feeling good about my chances soon though, as I got 33 last time while scoring only 1 on the first 4, owing to a somewhat rusty swing. Still, it's light in the evenings and rugby season is nearly over, so I'll be back out hacking the course up plenty soon enough.

A big fat no for me! Although I do feel like my game is coming together and some time soon I'll be getting a good cut! He says lol. I've never felt this good with my swing though, had hit at the clubs range last night and was hitting my irons the best I've ever hit them. I know that come the medal on Saturday I'll probably play like a complete plonker!

Our last 3 rounds were Qualifying Murg......Up to then the weather had everything up in a heap...... Iv had 2 Nett Level Par rounds and last weekend i Shot a Nett 70 in our Monthly Medal...CSS was 72 so 0.6 cut....... down to 13.5 now.....

Games looking pretty good.... Just need the sand now to do a disappearing act from the greens and for them to get rolled and cut and the weather to get a bit better ( not hoping for much am i ?:rolleyes: ) and hopefully the handicap will start tumbling...

1st qualifier on Sat PM after a 5 hour drive from Hull, after a black tie dinner on Friday night.

Looks like the chances are I could be going up :(

One qualifying round only, and spot on SSS. Previous qualifying round when I got cut was on the 27th December.:(

Playing a big board competition on Sunday. It is the day after the Selbourne Salver, Amateur competition with the highest qualifying handicap being plus 1. We play the same tees, pins, and the greens are rolled on the day. Guaranteed 0.1 as I will struggle as usual to break net 80. Par 69 and the SSS usually goes out to about 73. Not sure why I put myself through the torture. 40 plus putts guaranteed.:(

1 qualifying round and 1 buffer so far, and that was me playing like a turd!

Although I did shoot 40 points round the old course last week so I know i am there or there abouts!
