    Like a fat woman on a diet, i lost a bit (1.2) then stuck a bit back on again (0.5). Down 0.7 overall for the year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71 ✭✭Mr Titleist


    Started 11.6 down to 10.4 now.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,268 Mod ✭✭✭✭charlieIRL


    Played 6 counting competitions, only managed to play to handicap in one a d got 5 0.1's in the others.

    Booking lessons monday


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,053 ✭✭✭jimbling


    A lot of good golfers here :eek:

    Started the year on 18.1. Have had a terrible long game so far, but my short game got me down to 15.4. Have drifted back to 16 over the last month.

    But..... have gotten a few lessons recently and can feel the swing kicking back into gear. If my long game gets back to what it was last year I believe I can get down to 12 by end of season easily enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 290 ✭✭carnsoreboxer


    Joined new club end April, then back went so only really swinging properly last couple of weeks.

    Started 18.2 now 18.4

    Still getting used to course


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 251 ✭✭MasterKZG


    16.6 last Feb, now down to 14.4 - Still shooting alot rounds in the buffer zone though:(:(:(:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 494 ✭✭Daithio9

    What a bast@rd! Just .1 more.....

    Well done though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 496 ✭✭Jasonw


    desperately waiting to see the CSS of yesterdays JSC at Charleville. If it turns out to be 71 then I am now a 6 handicapper (my original goal when I took up golf) if it's 70 like it was on Saturday then I'm stuck at 6.5 for a little longer.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,081 ✭✭✭thegen


    Started at 5.3, went out to 5.9 and am now back at 5.3. That 4 seems a long way off just now:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,361 ✭✭✭f22


    Similar for me, started at 5.1, out to 6.5, including 12 .1's on the bounce. Back into 5.2 pretty quickly again. Painkillers hold the key to my return to being able to hit a ball again!

    Difene didn't do a thing for me unfortunately, Ixprim is my current drug of choice.

    How many qualifying comps would you say you get through in a year Gorfield?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,925 ✭✭✭BUACHAILL


    was gonna post on here other day but was side tracked, at that stage I was posting that I had gone from 8.1 to 8.4 with lots of rounds in the buffer and on the verge of going back out to 9 but over sat and yesterday I have been cut to 7.2 !!

    What a silly game we play !!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,431 ✭✭✭dvemail


    Started the year at 12 (11.8), im down to 8.0 now. Getting down to 6 is the goal so fingers crossed!

    6 shots in a year is huge when your starting at 12 but fair play keep going you are going savage


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,225 ✭✭✭JCDUB


    Hahaha, some good and some shite scoring here. Me included in the latter:D

    I was off 7.2 last year, drifted out to 9.1 by this year, just got a slight trim into 8.3 at the weekend. Hopefully showing some form for the future!

    One good thing about the weekend, f22 had 68 also, but I beat him on the back nine, so he got nowt except cut. Ye gotta love that:cool:

    I believe I got roughly 16/18 point ones in about 20 games at one stage:eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,225 ✭✭✭JCDUB


    started the year at 1.7 and down to 0.5 after Saturday

    Deadly, deadly golf. Nice work.

    One more cut and you're there. Keep on truckin'

    Bastard;)

    Top notch stuff, that really is nice golf.
    I presume we'd know you by name?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,429 ✭✭✭Mr. Larson


    One for the muck pile...

    Started 12.3 - hurtled out to 13.5 - got cut back to 12.9 and now find myself hurtling back towards 14 again (13.4 currently).

    17 x 0.1's in 19 events is some going. I'm going to top out soon - most you get back in 1 year is 2 shots, correct?

    Yeah well that's a given, if I go out it's .2 all the way. And forget about difene etc, what you need is a nice bit of the herbal remedy, for old times sake. Might help with your golf too;)

    I would not say that... maybe the one with most potential! You need to get a few lessons, practice and boom winners circle again...... maybe your captains day???

    :D

    Wouldn't be worth the stick I'd get. Anyway - if I was that way inclined, I'd sneak an open in before it to get to 13.5!!
