Couple off +1 and a few off 3 and a good lot of 4 and 5 Wexford GC.

four scratches

Hacker111 · 07-06-2012 09:45PM

3 Wicklow...never seen a 2 in my time there..... blainroe has a +1 and loads of 2/3s

Dr_Colossus · 07-06-2012 09:51PM

3 in Tulfarris and a few then on 5.
Would be beneficial to list the club to see where all the low and + players are based.

just saw that, what happened JS? he was off 1 or 2 - not listed for moate anymore.

Can you check a club's member handicaps that's not on howdidido?

chalkie 501 · 07-06-2012 10:00PM

We've got 3 lads off 1,3 or 4 2's and 5 or 6 3's

aster99 · 07-06-2012 10:04PM

I've found the low lads are usually either dead sound guys or else guys who know their good and wouldn't be slow to let you know how good they are. I've found its one extreme or the other.

Just checked Portmarnock.... 20 scratches or better...wtf?

They seem evenly spread. You can see all the best players in the country (who entered, and internationals) who were at the recent East of Ireland here

Guy works with me in his 50's off 1, used to be scratch a few years back. Best thing abt this story is that he only picked up the game in his 40's, never played before this.

Hope for all of us yet!

Benicetomonty · 08-06-2012 08:03AM

+3 in Lucan. A recent winner of and a very recent runner-up in the East of Ireland

slave1 · 08-06-2012 10:13AM

The best player I ever played with was (and there's no other PC word for it) a brute of a woman off +5.
Her driving was not massive, plenty of lads I've played with would out drive her (although she did win a fair few longest drives in work outings because of the forward tee), but sweet Jazuz anywhere and I mean ANYWHERE from 100 yards and it was like she had a string on the ball, all within birdie distance of the hole and she'd either putt it in or shave the hole.
As we've heard time and time before it's all in the short game.

Eh, that's difficult to believe, wow...What a hero

It is if you're off +5 but for most people the most important shot is their tee shot. Why practice your short game if you can't keep a ball in play

Did she not turn pro off that handicap? Poulter turned pro off -4, although that's cause he couldn't afford the comps.

blue note · 08-06-2012 10:58AM

a +2, a +1, two scratches, two 1s, and a few off every thing else. That's Tramore.

Can that be right? It's insane! I'd feel so inadequate there.

U.P.O. · 08-06-2012 11:03AM

Two +2s, two or three +1s and a handful of scratch players and then me at the other end of the scale

She played amateur for Ireland for over 10years as far as I can remember.

+5? That has to be the lowest in the country, what club does she play from. I believe Lisa and Leona Maguire are +3 (+3.1) and +4 (+4.3) respectively and thought they were the lowest both amongst the men and women of Ireland.

Thats a genuine story, he plays out of Limerick golf club. not going to say his name as its not my business to, but anyone who plays there would probably know him.

PS, he was 6 under after 10 holes there recently only to finish 4 under. The course record held by none less then Tiger Woods is 8 under par.

I think Shane Lowry was off +5 when he turned pro

No it's not right. 10 of those have an exact handicap of 0.0. We have a lot listed as that in our club too but it's just an error in the list. They also have Noel Fox on the list and he's a pro. Still a mighty impressive amount of + handicaps.

But he's not now, he's on tour! McIlroy was +5 as well, as was Wayne Telford last year, +4 now

He's still listed as a member of Esker Hills as far as i know.
