Worst medal score ever)

[stulewis1975]

Someone who shall remain nameless D) shot 175 (gross) 149 (net) in a medal at my club today. Has anyone ever seen a score worse than this at their club?!

 

[fundy]

in a word no

 

[IanM]

175? Sorry is that darts or ten pin bowling...

Hey.... it can only get better from there...

 

[chrisd]

Did he get round in under 4 hours?

 

[tsped83]

Give up and play something else. Seriously.

 

[MartynB]

36 holes?

this post on facebook earlier made me chuckle

"18 holes in 3 & a quarter hours, yeah I shot 123 (54 over par) but it just happens to be my best score! An awful long way to go, but no ambitions of turning pro for sure!"

 

[Beezerk]

At least he'll get a + 0.1.

Never seen a score like that ever - I pity his playing partners and everyone who had to follow that group around - must have been torture.

I would have got him to NR early as averaging almost 10 shots per hole helps no one. Play a stableford for scoring purposes on card and NR once exceeded scoring - help everyone.

 

[Dasit]

Should not be on the course


My friends who have never played more than a few rounds shoot 120ish

Maybe he/she had a bigger mare than normal - what does he/she normally score on average??

 

[HawkeyeMS]

That must have been painful and very unfair for his FCs.

 

[Imurg]

Must have been Hell on toast playing with him.
Averaging nearly 10 per hole! Must have taken weeks to get round.
Once you've shot 80+ for the front 9 you need to be NRing when you reach treble bogey...Unless it was one or two truly horrific holes...

How did he ever get his handicap down to 26?

 

[rosecott]

On the plus side, he would have a huge Stableford Adjustment for handicap purposes.

 

[SaintHacker]

Lots of conclusions being jumped to here. Do we know how fit the person was? Are they coming back from serious injury/illness, have they been recently disabled? Could be lots of reasons for a score like that other than just being pants

 

[Capella]

Maybe it was a beginner playing in his first comp? Nerves kicking in big time?

 

[snell]

When another thread pops up on here about how golf is failing to attract new people to the sport....Might be best to signpost them to most of the replies on here.

It's certainly what put me off playing for a long time. I remember my first comp well, I shot 128, got round in under 3 and half hours and never held the course or my fellow PP's up once.

We all have to start somewhere, we weren't all naturals at the game.

Exactly that, he is not helping his PP or himself. To be honest, am Suprised that no one has said owt at the club. Feel sorry for the guy/woman but there are others playing.

Mr Rose on a serious note, what is the largest adjustment that someone could get?
