Me and Scouser went in the Tuesday night comp and were tearing it up good and proper.

23 points for me front 9, 21 for him. After 13 holes I was on 30 points, himself on 32 from memory. I then made the mistake of saying that we could well be in the prizes, if we finish ok.

I went blob,blob,3 points,blob,2 points. I finished on 37 points, but didn't expect a top 10 finish (finished 13th).

He went 1pt,2 pts, 2 OOB on one hole for a blob,1 point, 2 points.

I said he could still win with that. One of Stuey's mates said other 40 points were in (but unsure if he was winding us up), so unsure how it would go, although he did have 19 points back 9, so he may be ok on countback.

Cue 20-odd minutes of trying to get the leader board to refresh, pressing the buttons continuously..........Also bear in mind he's never had over 30 points in a comp before..............1 more go, waiting for the leaderboard.........ok, 1 more then (10 minutes later)..........5 others on 40 points...............

Finished 4th, just outside the prizes.:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Sorry mate, keep up the good work, we both threw it away tonight, but upwards and onwards, you'll win one another day. You played some good golf tonight, remember that! :thup:
 
Well done. For me its about the cut first (well not this year) and then seeing where the score puts me. Winning's nice but the cut is the thing for me. Got a feeling there are a few more cuts coming your way this season
 
Handicap now on 23.4?? :)

Yip.... Haha podge is booked on 2 comps so will be 23.5 in twoweeks haha


Homer I agree it's about the cut especially as it was a massive pb and my first ever cut.... But would have been a nice win.... Considering how bad my golf can be this was probably my best chance for a long while
 
Nice one my little Scouse mate. Almost down at a respectable handicap now...;)... Think I might put you and Birchycool in my group in York. See if we can find another willing victim as well to join our little matchplay group. ...

Dont be too sure, my sources tell me podge has been playing some good stuff.

P.S the first cut is the hardest to get, more will be on their way mate. I think i had 14 0.1s before i got my first cut :)
