Surrey Golf Tour

[duncan mackie]

Shouldn't be too hard as Ben has to split the GM's out anyway for the excellent offers he has made. As such it shouldn't be an issue linking us into 4-balls as a mini-meet

oh no - not another day when everyone else in the game is outdriving me with 3 woods or hybrids, and hitting 160yd approaches through the back with 7 irons......... :whoo:

I'll be there or abouts with my 3w but not with my irons. Anyway I want to watch and learn from an old pro

Bloody joined up type widget on nexus left me right up the creek there!

I wonder if any members on here are members of the drift and willing to sign a few forum lads in for a round in order to get a feel for the course and its layout

 

[Rich2601]

I emailed the drift earlier today asking how much they would charge for a practice round so ill let you know once they respond

dont worry peter el bandito jones will win, he wins everything else, and plays at bearwood lakes, which i think is in surrey, 13 hcap plays like a 7:swing:

I'm hoping the handicap system of 3/4 handicap anything over 36 points gets cut rule should weed out Rhett Mexicans very quickly?

In theory I have to shoot three under my hc of 12 to get a cut, so any shooting the lights out early should have their HCC cut pretty quick. if pepper are playing to the correct hc then the average scores should be around the 34 mark

Sore loser?

Not everything else. I saw a forum member's name on one of their boards when I played there when courses were green, not white!:clap:

Not Surrey; Berkshire.

actually it works the other way - the 3/4 hides the performance differentials and permits the true sombero merchant to just shoot 36 and take OOM points. 36 points in 2 majors and any other 3 events will absolutely walk away with the OOM. On the other hand, the cat 1 golfer playing these courses from the yellow tees is probably going to shoot over 36 early on and loose a huge % of their handicap through the tour

what 3/4 really does is discriminate hard against the honest higher handicap golfers, and as such is poor - the tour season handicap adjustment is however an excellent approach.

but don't worry about it, you can only do your best.

Will or can these cards be sent to your club as my club qualifiers do not start until April?

no - played off 3/4 renders them non Q before you even get into whether the organisers are CONGU registered to run Q events (I don't know the last bit for a fact but I would be amazed if they were and it doesn't matter anyway!)

Should add that anything can be submitted to your handicap committee to support any claim that your handicap doesn't reflect your capability.
