How did you score in your last round? - 2019

Mixed bag at the weekend (81 off 10). I did manage my best ever stretch of holes, 4 birdies in 5 holes including a 5 inch tap in on a par 3

Cheers. No was a non-qualifier unfortunately. Would love to get below 18 and that would have done it I think. I'll just have to do it again I suppose

Any idea when qualifying starts again in Kilcock?

I can only assume they are waiting on decent weather. I thought after Captains Drive-in and return to 18 hole comps it might but still showing NQ on masterscoreboard.

As long as you're lifting the ball in the rough it will be NQ. Placing on fairways is fine for qualifying

1st medal of the year yesterdayas well as first qualifying comp. I've never managed to break par in a medal in my home club, but have been playing very steady golf for the last few weeks so was feeling OK about things.

Ended up shooting 82 off 12 for net 70. CSS came in at 1 over so ended up getting a 0.6 cut & back down to 11.0

1 birdie
9 pars
5 bogeys
3 doubles

The doubles were disappointing. 1st on our index 1 3rd. Was playing long. Its normally downwind, but was playing into it, so played it as a 3 shot hole, but made a poor 3-putt, missing about a 2ft putt for bogey.

Second was on our 14th. Took on a way too ambitious 2nd shot trying to draw a ball around a tree with a hybrid when a sensible mid iron would have gotten me in range of a pitch & putt.

Third was on the 18th, a par 5. Trying to play a cut in with my third, but hit the ball completely straight & ended up under some heavy greenside trees.

In between all of that I played some really nice golf & generally putted very well. Chipping improved compared to my recent rounds. Knocked down 2 drives, but recovered very well from both & made bogeys.

So a nice start to the 2019 qualifying season. Hopefully a good sign for what's due to come!

Won my class too, which is a nice bonus (though had no change in my wallet so didn't enter the 2s & typically enough my birdie was a 2 )

A Crap 24 points yesterday scratched the first 2 holes after 2 great drives and lost the head a bit! worse score since joining my new club! My chipping and putting was shocking lack of practise is showing on this plus greens being pole folked didnt help..On the plus side was smashing my Driver again which I was chuffed about as have being really struggling with it the last few months.. Just found something and it clicked..

Was such a nice day we decided to play another 9 after are round and I was much better practised a bit of chipping too. So hopefully my swing keeps up because my contact is sweet good to see my lessons paying off..

Think I need a few practise rounds instead of just playing comps all the time..

26 points Sunday. Embarrassing

Could always be worse, seen this in the results for the last medal. I'm more impressed he never gave up, stronger stuff than me.

Too symmetric a straight +5 on each hole. Doesn't look like a real result.

I thought the same with the score although I'm sure he was the group two in front of me that day.playing partners might have agreed to cut off after 5 shots to keep pace.

I seen two or three tops off the tee and a similar story from the fairway and that was just the odd shot I seen.

The new rules allow for "Maximum Score" strokeplay events. e.g. 5 over par per hole.
He possibly didn't return his card and the computer gave him the max score on each hole instead of NR

Our system would have just had him as DQ if it was the case.

Played first 18 holes of the season last weekend. Had 40 points (playing off 18), very happy to see the winters work paying off, unfortunately non qualifying as we were clean and drop still.

Still felt I left shots out there, so hopeful the handicap will start coming down this year. First qualifying round this weekend, looking forward to it.

Long time lurker, thought I'd join in.

First qualifying competition at the weekend for ourselves. Had 41 points off 6, won the gross for the first time which I'm delighted with. 4 bogeys, 3 birdies (a 2 included $$$$) and 11 pars, very solid stuff and nothing wild which is a rarity for me. Still room for improvement and hopefully not my good round out of the way for the year.

37 points today off 20. Highest score ever, previous was 33 so delighted with this. Putting and chipping was immaculate for a change. Left plenty behind me but got a few lucky bounces as well so all evened out I suppose.

Not sure if I'll get cut for this, hopefully I will but as it was an open comp away from home course I'll have to wait a few days to find out.

Birdies - 0
Pars - 8
Bogeys - 4
Doubles - 3
Trebles - 3
Worse - 0

Shot a 69 at the weekend on a Monthly Medal (course par 71).

It was lift, clean and place on the fairways. Can we not get cut for that? Happy days if so!

Yes that is qualifying.
