my first outing of the year on sunday and it all fell apart on the back nine
15 points on the front - 10 on the back due to 3 blobs
Indeed however if you don’t post high scores in the events that matter your Society handicap can’t be cut
Also easy to score high points in the winter as you can pick and place most of time and aim the ball right at the flag knowing it will stop as it will most likely plug

difference is im trying hard to be cut, ive been cut on my own tracking system but we always play to society handicaps when we meet up so until I do it in the events that's the rules
fingers crossed this season will be my last on this handicap
If I joined a club id be cut much quicker , just don't like being a member of a club. limiting myself to one course all the time
I play at the Essex in Earls Colne. Very decent course with a lovely short course the other side of the road.
Haven't got an official handicap yet but scoring around 24 over (including one or two triple bogeys or worse). Scoring around 34-38 points off a 28 handicap.
Hoping to get an official handicap this year to have something genuine to work from but as it is only me and the father in law in a pair we really need to go round with some other members to sign off our cards.
We played Hever Castle last year as part of a 12 man group, lovely course and would recommend it to anyone that side of the river.

couple of pars and a birdie but 2 blobs
also hit the flag a couple of times
32 points
You shouldn't take your anger out on the flags, it's not their fault.
I'm going up to Edingburgh on Monday for a few days of golf, any courses I should be playing (bear in mind that the group I'm going with, the handicaps range from 14 to 28 and we're not looking to spend a fortune on a round, say £40 tops)?
played risebridge today.. heat was brutal.. 30 points but defo ran out of steam on the last.. tied my match play (always harder to score points in match play) we agreed to replay another week .. sod extra holes in that
