    I wouldn't worry about it. I suspect they wouldn't shoot those scores in comps. Suddenly the tees are back a bit, they don't get the gimmes, they have to play out of divots, etc. People can be very generous to themselves in practice rounds.

    But mainly, you hear of the great scores and that distorts your perception of how people are actually doing.i find that in this thread to be honest, everyone seems to constantly be shooting over 36 points. Then if you look at the Sunday scores on hdid. they're much lower than that.

    Yeah I had 40 points yesterday but only 30 on Saturday and never mentioned it here.

    35 points today, so decent scoring. Didnt play necessary well, but scrambling was good. Been watching the Harrington videos and they helped

    Play for something every round within a group, I set up a Whatsapp group with 20 of us on it, we enter a" comp" by replying to an invite on any given day, transfer 5 euro through Revolut and depending on how many play we have a breakdown of payouts 1st,2nd,3rd etc and you post a photo of your card on the WhatsApp group afterwards to keep it transparent..Can't beat playing with a card in your hand and something to play for,btw we transfer winnings back to players Revolut account

    Played the last 3 wednesdays was happy first week 3 pars and a birdie (lost by a shot) last week felt like I tore up the course with 11 pars but had doubles and 2 triples (lost by 2 shots) then today was 8 shots worse than last week and drew. Just when you think you have your head around the game it jumps up a kicks you in the bollox still love it tho.

    Played my first round of Golf over weekend at my new club.

    +19 overall. Only lost 1 golf ball so happy enough. Bought myself M2 driver and it’s helped with my wicked slice I had last year.

    No handicap just playing for fun this year and next year I hope get one at the club

    Why not get one now? It'll allow you to play opens in a few months at other clubs plus playing with a card in your hand and chasing a good score in comps for me is the best thrill about golf.

    Seriously. If you want to improve then get your handicap asap. Nothing like it to focus you

    if you're out & playing & you're able to hand in 3 cards at the mo (I don't know with the current rules) def do! get your handicap asap.

    when comps start back up you'll want in & if you progress your game you'll be happy out seeing your handicap come down

    Just put yourself down on Saturday or Sunday or midweek comp day and someone will be paired with you

    They will be delighted to welcome new member

    I am guessing you will get 14-16

    Best round ever. 40 points. Ok, off 24 (24.4 to be exact), which I hate but hoping this is year it’s coming down...saying that was with a very relaxed group and didn’t look at score until 9th and 17th. To top it off missed out on a hole in one by about 2inches...now that would have been sweet

    Off 16, 31 & 32 pts last weekend. Driver playing havoc, hit 2 fairways between the 2 rounds.

    Played again last night 37 pts, driver a bit better, still missing fairways but not as badly. Slow start but got better on back 9. Had a couple of birdies that probably flattered the score, 60ft putt and 60 yd pitch in to walk off the 18th :D

    Left me chomping at the bit to get out tomorrow again ;)

    35 points last night, +7 of 6.

    3 putted our par 5 13th. 2 putt birdie would have got me back to +1 with 5 to play.

    3 bogeys and a double in last 5 holes. Couple of poor chips and one 3 putt. Best score since lockdown was lifted!

    31 points, after having 22 on the front 9. Absolutely shockingly bad back 9 with only 9 points and 3 scratches. I completely lost the run of myself, and was missing really easy shots and putts. Really frustrating, but sure it happens. Need to figure out why i can't seem to end well.

    33 points which was respectable considering how I was hitting the ball. It either clicks or it doesn't at the minute especially with my driver so its very frustrating. When its behaving I can really get a score going, when its not I am tinkering for 18 holes with mixed results.

    34 pts in wild weather today, 18/16 again poor finish double/double from nowhere, both greenside in reg then a chip and 3 putts on both, seriously the flags in are doing my head in as I'm trying to putt into side of hole, But overall this past few weeks I'm happy with my game especially as I'm implementing a total new swing that I practiced on lockdown out the back "Stack and Tilt" anyone else doing this method ??

    37 of 15. (20 + 17) I can play to the handicap. Just need qualifying to start to get it. And maybe a couple Ws

    Started 4 pars and 2 bogies in first 6. From there on any mistake was hit with a double or triple rather than a recovery to get a gogie. Still not striking the ball as well as pre lock down.

    There are quite a few videos on S&T like Nick Taylor golf, Andy Plummer,but the best and simplest one is an all out mad fecker but so easy to follow is Tom Sagudo golf, I'm not joking when I say when you discover him you nearly turn it off as some madcap eejit but his lessons are brilliant and easy to follow..check him out
