Well tonight I played 9 holes with the pro at a local course and decided to take the plunge and join. Can't wait to get started and get my first 3 cards in for my first official handicap!!
 
Well done mate - I have done the same myself and play my first round for my official club handicap on Thursday!

Just panicing about first tee nerves now!
 
Way to go Dave. :cool:

There's nothing like playing in the Medals and Stableford comps and getting a real handicap. :D

May your Membership become a long and fruitful one. :)

I was bricking it 1st tee shot and 2nd, then 3rd :)

1st comp was the same and 1st forum meet, now I am a lot more confident (even though I still duff plenty)

I only wish I could play more now as once a week and the odd evening 9 holes isnt enough

Good luck
 
i cant wait to take the plunge, looking for a course to join that isnt too steap on the £££ bet playing in comps is where i want to be, competeing is my aim even tho im poop! cant play any sport just for the sake of playing i need to compete!!

Yes Chris, but it's best we don't go there.

The short version is that I don't agree that a bogey comp can be used for handicap when all scores aren't recorded.

As a PS to the subject, I queried it with CONGU and they said they were looking at whether or not to retain the format as qualifying for the reasons I went into in the original thread.
 
Thanks for clearing that up Gary - somewhere in the back of my mind I remember that thread :)

As stated in my first reply - Medal and Stableford for a real handicap. ;)

How am I a bandit CK? Played off 17 at Thetford and shot 92 for 33 points, doubt I will be anywhere near that at Forresters. Played 9 holes last night and managed to lose 4 balls!! I'm hoping for around the 19-21 hcap when I get it. Feel free to come along for a round though. I really can't wait to get a full round in and get used to the course.

Only a bit of banter chum, I'm sure you'll get on well at Forresters. :) :) :)
