Season's goal achieved!!!

[AuburnWarrior]

Today was our monthly Stableford. I wanted to lose 0.2 to achieve my aim of getting to 8 handicap.

I began my round on the 10th hole.

Blob. Thanks very much.

Parred the 11th, bogied the 12th.

Three putted the par 3 13th...

Our 14th is a par 5 where you drive down into a valley and then the second is up to a very well protected green - I was on in 2 - birdie there!!!

Parred 15th, double bogied 16...

Birdied the par 3 17th and parred the 18th for 19 points on my front nine.

I then drove our par 4 1st - 3 putt followed...

Bogied the 2nd - birdied the 3rd.

Bogied the 4th, parred the 5th, bogied the 6th.

So, I'm sitting quite nicely.

Our 7th is a par 5 - I was on in two - a long eagle putt which just missed - tap in birdie.

Parred 8th.

The 9th is also a par 5. I was just through the green for two - my chip just stayed out - another tap in birdie.

22 points on my back nine (the front nine).

41 points and a very healthy cut of either a full shot (I'll be off 7.6) or 0.8 (7.8). Either way, I'll be off 8 and my season's goal has been achieved.

5 birdies today (including a 2) and three eagle putts (none converted).

I'm proper chuffed.

Cheers Rob.

I think every true football fan knows that Palace are a Premiership side...

 

[Region3]

Good stuff AW, sounds like you left a few out there as well!

Cheers geez!!!

7 is my next goal...

Next year's goal could get silly...

Putting. It's always the putting.

In all fairness, I did miss some makeable putts but I was quite lucky with some bounces, etc so I'll take the rough with the smooth and be very happy with my final score.

Cheers pal.

I like that attitude.
I came off with an 81 yesterday for 0.1 back and my playing partner said I'd been unlucky. Yes I'd had a few bad kicks etc but was extremely lucky at least twice so they all balance out in the end.
The real difference was 9 makeable putts missed.

Good luck with getting to 7, do you have many more qualifiers left?

 

[fundy]

wd Auburn, surely next yrs target got to be cat 1 now

PS Gary, I was week to late in our race to 7!!!

 

[rickg]

Well played AW.....gotta be at least 6 next season!!!!

Fundy, well played mate and congrats. Looks like I'm the last one!! I payed the £10 bet to HFH. I saw your payment too so thanks and well done Region for winning the race to 7.

Thanks very much.

I've got the club championships in September plus the monthly medals/stablefords so plenty of chances to go lower.

I'm thinking 4.4 as well but is that too ambitious???

 

[fundy]

cat 1 is 5.4, definitely not too ambitious imo, Im still planning on being there next week lol!!!

Cheers Rick, actually blew a chance to be much lower last 2 days but shouldnt complain too much

Well done matey that is some pretty good shooting. I'm still fighting towards my target of 10 but I'll get there eventually. Keep going and hopefully a single figure handicap for next year will be a realistic goal (more realistic than Palace in the premiership anyway)

You'll get there, pal - always keep the faith.

Fella, Palace are all over the Premiership - look inside yourself and you'll see that I'm right...

Unkess Jol bucks his ideas up we could be swapping places. Why he has taken Hughes out of the centre next to Hangeland and played him at right back is a mystery. He doesn't need to tinker. We've a way of playing that works so just get a few quality players in and get on with it. Worried of SW6

 

[USER1999]

Tosser.

Well, maybe well done.

I get shots next time we play!

 

[Macster]

Palace may have 'won' yesterday, but they didnt play any football AT ALL in their 1-0 win.

The Tigers might not have had any idea of how to score, but there was only one team playing the football.

CP - Premiership ? You're having a larfff.....on that performance, bottom 5 without a doubt.
