The ooh, that's a daft score thread

[IanM]

Of course, all handicaps are legit, there are no cheats of any kind, so this thread is to get all reports of excellent play () play in one place. They currently get lost in whs and rules waffle.

Weston-super-Mare today. Tough pins, tough conditions. Pairs comp, 50 points was the winning score. Poor souls failed to net birdie 4 holes, maybe their handicaps were too low. Jolly well played.

96 points....and they won it on countback....

Stapleford? Stapleford?

Can I issue a warning for such blasphemy?

Getting a bit worried about our place,

Last sunday. Team of 4, best 2 Stableford scores to count, 97pts won it.

We had a seniors staBleford comp back in April when the old codger in second place went out in 13 points and back in 16 points. (me)
To be beaten by an even older coffin dodger who went out in 10 points and back in a totally outrageous 19 points.
28 idiots turned out in the most awful conditions. Scores were so daft, it was made non-qualifying for handicaps.



I may have misunderstood the purpose of this thread.

Charity AmAm a couple of weeks ago. best 2 to count, 3 on the 9th and all 4 on 18. All WHS handicaps. Second place scored 92 points, and lost out by 21 points to the winners on 113 (ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN) Congratulations, and don't come again.

Going back many years ago I shot an 11 under nett - 5th place.

Maybe not best to post people’s scores on a public forum in that way

I saw the EG Ping 4BB mixed final was won with 52 points, second was 48 and you needed 40 to come 19th!

 

[Pathetic Shark]

I once ran a society event where I got 40 points (winning the gross). And was 11th. The winner got 48 and was called a bandit by the runner-up who got 47. Who then won the kettle-pot award for doing so.

I also once shot a gross 64, one below the course record in a roll-up... and lost on countback to a 26 handicapper. Luckily after 10 years I can see the funny side.

I've left the scores, but obscured the names.

We had a midweek 9 hole comp earlier in the summer. Winner had 28 points.

One of my best, most satisfying rounds was a medal around W-S-M.
16 pars and 2 birdies on a testing/windy day.
I did not feature in the prizes.

Many years ago at my previous course, my wife and I turned in a 47pts in a Mixed Foursomes. Never played like it before or after. I was embarrassed and said so in my thank you speech.

FWIW, the leading two scores were from Weston members & their handicap committee is certainly one of the more diligent out there - they have already been busy this morning ensuring everything from the comp is as it should be.

Good to hear. I assume the machinery will issue an appropriate handicap adjustment.

Hot days happen, that's jolly hot.

Yes. Unusually, for both pairs, each player had the counting score on exactly 9 holes, so all four players had a qualifying score for handicapping.

Many (many) years ago (1985 I think) I had a nett 59 in the club’s qualifier for Golf World magazine’s Club Golfer of the Year. Got me into the finals played over two days at Tewkesbury Park (Hotel and Golf Club).

I had only recently got my first handicap - though I was 26 and had played for many years without ever getting a hcap.…and with a h/cap of 13 I was (rapidly) settling/coming down from my first h/cap of 16. I think I got cut 3 shots to 10.

IIRC everyone in the final had had a nett of 61 or better.
