Wow I've missed that.

Last night I played my first competitive round for almost 6 years. I've joined another club after a long absence, got my handicap a couple of weeks ago and entered the mid week medal last night.

Nervous on the first tee, the first time I've felt real nerves on a golf course for a loooong time. Didn't swing very well at all for the first 5 holes but somehow only dropped 2 shots. Turned in 38 which I was very very chuffed with. Then a couple of bad holes on 10 and 12 set me back a bit, but finished with an 83 (net 71). Standard scratch is 73 so I'm hopeful that I've done quite well

Well done, nice feeling ... And be the sound of it many more to come.

sounds a nice solid return to comp golf well played sub 80 very near which will bring that single figure target into view.
Nice start and if CSS stays at 73 a little trim on the way.

WOOOHOOOOO. I won it, and a nice cut to 11.4 as comp scratch was 74.

Happy bunny

You can almost here the members muttering "bandit" from here. Great shooting and great to get cut. Keep it going and I'm sure you'll get better as you get back into it

I'm sure he'll spot you just look for the discreet ORANGE colour in the bag last sighting was by Neil Armstrong!

Well that didn't take long

I'm now single figures again as a result of that competition.

I've just had an email from the handicapp and comp secretary saying my handicapp has been revised to 9.4 under general play provisions.

Think that's a little harsh, although I can see why they've done it, basically taken this comp round as another handicapp card and given me the lowest handicap from the 4 cards submitted.

Challenge now is staying there ​
