So i have been having a torrid time of it on the course of late, as some people here whom have had the mis-pleasure of playing with me recently will confirm! and i mean awful, cricket scores, with sh...ks, slices, hooks, tops, thins, fats, you name it, i have done it, so i had been "happy" to break a ton of late!

Anyway, finally, finally put a half decent round in. just a game with a member mate for my 3 cards, but still feels amazing and i feel i left a lot of silly shots on the course too! i am now worried that my handicap is going to be lower than expected though, but hey ho, if i can play to it once, i can do it again!!

In brief, carded 84(par 69, SSS 69) off white tees, no worse than a double (3 of them), 4 pars, 1 birdie (chipped in!) and the rest bogey. 38 points (working off my unofficial 17 from online tracking) so i was +15 shots. I know thats hardly going to worry the europro tour,but for me i am chuffed!

Quick Q on first handicap, is it a combination of the 3 cards you hand in, or just the best one? or a weird and wonderful formula? have done 2 so far, todays 84 (+15) and a 91 (Adj to 89 with making worst a double, is that correct?) both off white tees, par 69 SSS 69.

must be my non white putter!! 32 putts..LOL
 
Well Done.

It's best card - not a combination/eclectic.

I believe high scores are reduced to Triple, but as it won't be that card used, won't check.

Now shoot 75 in the 3rd one!:rolleyes:
 
best single round. triples or worse reduced to doubles. gross score above sss = new handicap (i.e. you will be 15 unless you improve your third card).

Bloomin hope note!!! LOL thats on Sunday, so finally get a h'cap! then just have to play to it once in a while!
 
Its clear you can play the game and hit the ball so there was never any need for embarrassment, you just get out there enough. Great shooting! Enjoy!

Thanks Alex, "trying" to make more time, even if its just the range. I knew there was some form of golfer in me somewhere!

Good luck with that then!

Btw. For initial allocation, high scores are indeed reduced to Double - not Triple of my earlier post.
