Thought social rounds could be handicapped.....

 

They CAN be.  But most clubs aren't interested unless it's for a new player's initial handicap or it's likely to reduce his handicap.

After the very ordinary Nationals scoring, I ventured out for a quick nine holes after work yesterday arvo, played the back nine off the Black tees,1 Par 7 Bogeys and 1 Double Bogey, resulting in playing to the chopper handicap I’m currently on.

Used my own driver rather than the Rogue I have been borrowing lately, safe to say I’ll be borrowing it again.

5th Par 3: 7 iron to pin high 7m, 2 putt par 3

6th Par 5: Pull drive left, leaving a hero shot in gap through tees, 3 wood just catches branch and drops straight down, luckily. Another 3 wood to 130 out, 8 iron jut left edge poor chip out of fluffy grass, 2 putts double bogey 7

7th Par 3: 3 Hybrid goes a bit long and left into garden, penalty drop, lob wedge over hedge to 4m, drop putt bogey 4.

8th Par 4: Ok 3 wood drive, 8 iron misses greeninto scrub right of green, punch out of sticks/leave with 7 iron to 2m and sink putt Par 4.

9th Par 4: Good drive, 7 iron on to 12m, push putt 2m past, knock in next for Par 4.

 

Pretty happy with the 41.

Yeah...right.

 

I just cant be this relaxed when I'm playing comp for some reason. If I could be this consistent every time I stepped on to a golf course I'd be down where I want to be handicap wise.

 

I must say that playing on exceptional greens makes a huge difference to my putting. Decent fairways..and actually hitting them...helps  as well

86 off the whites, with a triple bogey, bogey, double bogey start. 

 

Always start poorly there.
