Played to your handicap?

Playing great golf overall, but one comp, one rubbish result. I need some focus.

Going to splurge on a new lap top tomorrow, and a new phone.

That should sort it.

May be?
 
Yet to play a proper qualifying round, although I've played two non-qualifying comps and beat the h/c both times.

First qualifier is on Sunday but the forecast is for rain and I've just come back from the club and there's water lying on some of the fairways... :(
 
Been playing decent golf for the last couple of months, that was until I played with Fish on Wednesday. Had 1 comp so far and shot 3 under CSS, got another on Saturday so fingers crossed for another cut of 0.6 to get out of double figures.
 
I started the season off with a nett 61 & a 0.8 cut. It was my first qualifier this year I'm now worried that I've peaked to soon. I normally suck this time of the year and get going from mid May to August then drop off again at the end of the year.
 
My first qualifier at the new course is next week so we'll see. I'm in the same boat as Louise really and have been on a fast improving track for a few seasons so have never really had more than a single 0.1. Need to accept they happen and not let it bother me too much. Plus the new course is tougher than the old BUT the SSS is one more than par so that takes care of itself...
 
only 3 qualifying rounds so far this year, handicap once, buffer on the second and 0.1 back on the last.
Some good golf in me, but very inconsistant atm. Tee to green has been much much better but any lack on putter feel has killed my rounds.
 
Managed to come down to 8.0 from 9.5 so far but had a few ropey round thrown in for good measure. Birdied the last two a few weekends back to make my buffer which was a welcome relief!

Massive 36 hole Spring Meeting comp in a couple of weeks which I'm looking forward to and dreading in equal measure. Good opportunity to knock a couple more points off hcp but the course will be set up as tricky as poss.
 
I've broken my hadicap quite a bit ths year in bounce matches.

Not played any qulifiers yet as they don't start until 27th of this month but confidence is up!
 
One comp, one 0.9 cut. First medal tomorrow morning, off for a little short game practice this afternoon.
Then might play 9. Game is in a reasonable state, but short game is where i lose alot of shots.
 
Played 7 comps so far with 6 x 0.1 back usually due to some shocking putting, Greens not the best yet so not too concerned, If the putts start dropping so will the handicap, I must have three putted 12 times on Wednesday
