Someone should make a book out of that. Could be a great success: "The 100 Best Courses for the Frustrated Golfer". I'd buy it.:smirk:

My frustration comes from the fact that on at least 4 occasions in the past 12 months I've hit 37+ and not been cut (mainly due to the small field, never more than a dozen, and the high % of cat 4s)

I can only play for hc once a month so I really have to make it count. It's not easy knowing you have to hit 39 to get cut.

Anyway, frustrating half rant over. Glad it sparked a decent debate.

Put in supplementary cards, those go against pure SSS

Is SSS < Par?

i would imagine its the courses that the SSS is at least two under par.

Can you explain why the "small field, never more than a dozen, and the high % of cat 4s" has had the effect of preventing a handicap reduction for you?

It would also be useful to know par/SSS for your course.

Our place is par 72, CSS usually 69. Everyone knows, as is the way, that 39pts is needed. You know before you tee off generally. Get on with it.

He's too tight.

Should have played with with your society mates Davey La. 37 points would have won by an absolute mile. I'm still chuckling at the guy who came in with 6 points. Makes me look like Sergio bloody Garcia.

Any chance of a response?

sorry.

12 is max. Average probably 7/8. Mostly hc and a lot new to golf and improving. Out the 8, (4 cat 4s) 2 will buffer, 4 will have 37 or more, always have 1 dq'ing.

Folks who get good, don't normally hang about

Par and sss 71 &#128077;

Par and sss 71 &#62541;

Ive just re checked. From the start of this year, sss down to 69 (par 71) maybe this explains the situation.

one of them easy courses to put in Pauls book...

 

[Deleted member 1740]

Let's be honest, this place you call a club is really just a glorified golf society isn't it.

Get joined to a proper club and you'll be off 10 in no time.

So your whole whinge about css is irrelevant really.
