Summer knockouts... there's always next year

[Hobbit]

A few weeks ago I played our handicap k'out against another 5 handicapper. A ding dong battle and a 1 down loss. Happy with the way I played but just didn't win.

Next, our Calcutta k'out is played as half the difference is what you would start up or down, then played off level. For example, a 10 h'capper playing a 20 h'capper would start 5 down. I had to concede as work just got in the way.

Today was my scratch matchplay, and I'd been drawn against a very handy 2 h'capper. 2 over gross and 2 down at the turn became 1 up after 13 but all square after 14. A 15ft birdie putt on 15 and a chip in birdie on 16 saw me 2 down. And a missed birdie putt from 10ft on 17 saw a 2&1 loss. 4 over par and another loss.

So after many very good years in the club matchplays recent years haven't been kind. Is this what old age is all about...

Sounds like you've played well but just come up against slightly better performances on the day, no shame in that.


I went out 1st round in our KO and definitely had chances to win. Putter let me down when I needed it.

Played our club singles and got done 3&2 but had a good game and it could have gone ether way until he picked up two holes on the spin to go two up with nit many left and I started having to chase. Got my Nike (pairs and singles) once I get the opposition to confirm dates so hoping to make an impression in that

just won in the doubles against a 2 & 13 handicapper, we're off 20 and 17 so they gave us 11. Next it's 2 x 4 handicappers so 15 shots for us!
