How did you score in your last round...2015??

34 points of 12 yesterday.
I used to try not to have any 3 putts in a round. Now I'm just hoping not to 4 putt, had two of them yesterday, both being on in regulation on long low index par 4's and walking off with a 6.

38 points in Tues open came 5th no cut cause CSS was 38 which is fcuking ridiculous!!!
Joke. Css is way to high as a result of members not handing in their card!

I was shocking bad of the Tee the dread slice is back! only 1 scratch which was the first sliced it OB. Wasn't the only hole I sliced OB but recovered well thanks to some super Iron play and good putting...would of had a really good score only for my slicing off the Tee, was even happening with me 3 wood and has slowly crept in the last few rounds :mad:

Lesson Sat to sort it cause I cant figure it out and know its something simple! :mad: but hopefully a big score next Monday last chance saloon now I think!

What's the SSS of your course?

Its always the same as the CSS so yesterday would of being 70. Its a Par 72 course.
Excuse my ignorance but I don't know much about SSS only really know what you get cut by depending on your score & CSS. Which is always high at my club between 37-39 never lower and rarely 37.

As far as know the CCS can only be 1 shot higher than the SSS and 3 shots lower my guess would be the SSS of your course 70 ?? if so the way i look at it is you are in essence playing course Par of 72 with your handicap less 2 shots from the start. My guess would be that its more to do with the difficulty of the course rather than the volume of people not returning cards.

Correct the SSS has nothing to do with people returning cards or not, it is set by the GUI as to what it should be from various tees. This is based on the distance/difficulty etc.

The base CSS will always be the SSS from that tee and will fluctuate based on that particulars days scoring.

Yes so if a number of players dont return poor cards it will seem the course is playing easier and the CSS will be higher.

Played a scotch foursomes last Sunday. First time ever playing this format but I really enjoyed it. Played with a good friend & we dovetail really well. He plays off 13 & I play off 12 so our handicap was 3/8's of the combined (9.4).

We crossed 4 over & we were fairly happy, outside of a short putt on the first that my partner missed we holed everything that you'd expect to make as well as a decent length putt from myself & him chipping in for a bird on the 7th.

We finished the front 9 with 2 bogies that were just down to poor chips from easy positions so we had a small regroup on the 10th and said we need to play the next 3 in 1 over but we actually went on to par the next 5. The 5th par was probably our highlight after both of us hit very poor drives on a par 5 & left ourselves in trouble. I hit a nice 6 iron back into play and he creamed a driving iron to 40 yards in front of a green. I chipped to 6 foot & he dropped it, brilliant feeling to make a recovery like that. We played the last 4 in 2 over for a total of 6 over gross and a 68.6 nett, good enough for 3rd place. We would have needed 2 shots better to win but being honest I don't think we could have bettered our score. Delighted to get in the prizes though!!

Very enjoyable day , if very hard, in wind out in Corballis today.

I almost had a great round, was good - but 1 bad hole and had 34 points.
I was also very unlucky ending in a deep divot - little or no shot from a great position.

Putting from long range good - missed a few mid range, but very happy with my round.

Sign of wind was the first was a 7 iron normally a PW.

On 12 I had a 325 yard drive , wind again.

Good signs there, but going to be hard to get cuts off 5. But seen a chance today.

24 pts, 7 scratches. Driving is kiling me. I fixed my irons and now I have a massive slice with the driver which is costing me about half the holes I produce the driver on. Putting was good today one 1 3 putt and short game was pretty good. Approach lines were all fairly straight at flag but was leaving a few short with the lob wedge. Overall a very frustrating round but at least the putter is working well

39 points off the yellows on the ryder cup course in the K club today. First time playing it, very nice! 16 on the front and 23 on the back. Played pretty well once I sobered up. Putting was very poor, plenty of three putts. Missed an Eagle from 10 feet on the 18th, missed the birdie from 4 feet and settled for par, summed up the round. Will be a great venue for the Irish open.

76 yesterday for 36pts. I could almost copy/paste my stats for the previous 3 rounds.

FIR 38%
GIR 67%
Putts 34

Seriously, how does anyone shoot 76 with 3 x 3 putts (one of those 3 putt was for par!)? I'm hitting my irons like a scratch marker and putting like a 28 marker. Getting very frustrating.

Have to say that is seriously consistent solid golf.

Great play - you should be very happy with that - but I am and have been in the same boat of frustration, to play great golf but walk away with a 77/78. (no pictures and all that )

Sounds like you will have a lower one soon - around par if you get putting down to 31.

You do very well hitting green from off fairways - maybe you are further away from hole than looking at the pure stats.

Just to put it out there - maybe if you hit more fairways , your putting stats would drop ?

Sometimes we blame putting on everything - but 3 putts will come if you face 50 foot + putts a good bit.

Again - it has been covered , but basic stats have hazards in them.

Remember hearing a bit of twisted logic from Padraig (as only he could come up with) - that sometimes you would be better off missing a few greens to gain confidence in your putting :eek:
Bascially you will get more putts and build on that.

So go off and miss a few greens (I'm joking there)

33 pts in final qualifying comp of the year. 15 on the front 9 with a scratch and 18 on the back 9 with 2 scratches. 39 putts tho!

GIR was very low, playing partner who was a visitor playing with his father who is a member made an interesting observation that the course didn't always reward good shots. Hitting the fairly could still mean an uphill or downhill lie which made it more difficult to hit greens from

Going to concentrate on improving putting over the winter but have committed to a series of lessons to get a full health check on all aspects of the game to try and get to single figures. Finished up on 13.8 but next year is going to be sub 9.5!!!!

32pts in wet & windy conditions at tramore had a +4 for 21pts front 9 followed by a complete collapse on the bck9 bogey 10th blank 11th,12th bogey 13th blank 14th bogey 15th blank 16th par 17th 18th

39 points last Sunday in an outing to strandhill. First time playing there and it's a nice links course with a few really testing holes. Greens were superb, they must iron the greens as never seen a green with thick grass as tightly packed.
Good enough for 3rd in our society (off 11) and 3rd (of 12) I'm the open comp.

Played another open on Wednesday on a course I know very well so was expecting good things, started off OK, out in 18 points but fell apart on the back 9, 14 points.
Hit a brilliant iron into the 16th, flew over the pin and landed on the top shelf, downhill putt to the pin and over cooked it straight into the bunker at the front of the green, walked off with a blank after trying too hard for the birdie.
