And then boast how high the slope is on their course.
And then sulk when they’ve got to give their visiting opponents shots, even though they’re effectively off the same handicap ?

So they split the people into two different comps? Not just div 1,2+3? Or is the division thing just on our course?It’s effectively 2 comps on a single day as each tee has its own Standard Scratch, encourages more participants, so a Medal Day to suit everyone.

I also wonder why people use par to indicate the difficulty of a course.
Par tells us nothing. SSS and now CR were invented for that purpose.
18 x 275 yard par 4s
18 x 450 yard par 4s
Both are course par 72 - what does that tell us?
I think what they're saying is that non or their organised events will be going ahead before June rather than no golf full stop.It looks like no earlier than the 1st June. Durham County Golf Union website shows an update stating no golf until then. Hope I'm reading it wrong.
That is not an inviting tee shot!!
My home course (Coventry) is 6590 par 73 and is rated 139, your 235 is incorrect, what course is it and I’ll tell you what it is.
My away course (Woodhall Spa) has a slope ratings of 149 (yellows) and 159 ( whites) on the Hotchkin, so I’d say you might have fat fingers and you meant to type 135?
Seems you are both wrong Only the back 9 is 155. Front 9 is 149, so overall rating of 152It is in fact 155 which is the maximum of the Slope range

it is in fact 151 with the blue being slightly more at 152....?
Just 1 extra for the blues is madness, the whites back on the stones is tough enough, which is why on competition Medal days you can choose to play of the yellows or whites.

I wonder how many people still don't understand what Slope is actually a measure of and just how it relates (or doesn't) to course difficulty.
Oooooooh.....roadtripI’m liking the course photos better than the ‘Rona chat. Still think it'll be a while before I can go there with clubs, but here’s my course on Friday....

There are plenty on here that would bite your hand off for that right now ?Was planning on Las Colinas tomorrow, now seems we can't travel from our health district which is in Phase 1 to the course in the neighbouring health district (also phase 1)
I might have to make do with the pitch and putt round the corner.

played here last Sept on our Jolly, the course the guys enjoyed the most, esp as M&E hadn't fked it too much unlike Bruntsfield. highlight was the birdie on the last when the rest of my group all thought my ball was gone off the teeI’m liking the course photos better than the ‘Rona chat. Still think it'll be a while before I can go there with clubs, but here’s my course on Friday....

Is that Mortonhall? Long long rime since I was there, so may well be mistaken.I’m liking the course photos better than the ‘Rona chat. Still think it'll be a while before I can go there with clubs, but here’s my course on Friday....

Yes I think the bunkering changes were a bit more restrained than Bruntsfield, I think. Although the other holes were done over the winter so you only saw half the changes. I have a few minor quibbles but mostly a big improvement.
Ah! Memory not so bad then. First place I broke 80 (in 2001). Recognised the 18th more than the others. Course looks great (as ever), though last time I played there the haar was down so low on that hole with the pond that Drives disappeared! Nebs still a problem on the 4th? Played a match there once where both our 1st balls got stolen. I actually chased the guy through the trees and off the course, but wonfered what I'd do if I caught him!Yes, Mortonhall it is.
