Stableford 5 pointer

[Tomo]

I was lucky enough today to be in a group where an 11 year old member scored a 5 pointer on a par 3 128m hole at Katoomba.

Hit his tee shot to 110 cms and sunk the putt.

A happier lad you wont find today.

Well done Zac!!!!!

Well done Zac!!!!!
Thanks :lol:

Well done to him, a five pointer would be a wonderful feeling.

[goughy]

I've had a 6 ;)

But not as an 11 year old. At 11, I'd have taken a double bogey and been jumping around like I'd just gotten to 2nd base!

Bloody oath. It took me until I was 16 to get to 2nd base...

[goughy]

Hence the reason I'd have been jumping around at 11 had I gotten to 2nd base ;)

:razz:

Gratz zac. :wink:

[markTHEblake]

I've had a 6 ;)

6 - stuff me goughy does have talent :)

[LarryLong]

I didn't even know what 2nd base was when I was 11. Which would have made getting a five-pointer even more special.

Is that the 6th, Tomo? Nice little par 3 - I remember playing it last year that it was pretty much in between my 9 iron and PW in terms of distance. Probably no in between anything for an 11 year old, evidently...:)

[Bruce]

Well played sir.

I had one of those once (http://ozgolf.net/forums/showpost.php?p=192919&postcount=49). I got so excited my game fell apart.

Shaz is a good luck token for me.

[Tomo]

Yeah Kristian, its a nice little golf hole.

From the tee you cant see the green, just the top of the flag.

Its a nice PW in for most, but young Zac would have hit a 6 iron.

It got better for him, as he and his dad won the teams event with 51 points.

It helped that the old boy played 3 under for the day after being 4 over after 4.

I played like a busted arse.

[AndyP]

Never had one.

[Dotty]

I had a couple of 5 pointers, when starting off, with birdies on double-bunger holes. I didn't get another for 20 years until last December, with an eagle on a par 5, with a shot.

Although I haven't seen one, there have been a few 6 pointers on the course over the years, where a 20+ marker has holed their second shot on a double-bunger par 4.

[just]

I've had a couple.

[zacdullard]

When I first started out I smashed a drive on a 170m par three to two feet. I had two shots so I thought it was going to be a 2/5.

Standing over the ball I was so nervous that I topped it and left it halfway there :oops:

[Courty]

Never had a 5 pointer, guess I've just always been too good to have a high-enough handicap. :p

I had 2 x 4 pointers yesterday, though.

I have only had two 5 pointers, both off 4 or 5 handicap :razz::razz:

[wazandnic]

Have had 2 hole in ones that have netted me 5 pointers, playing off 7 h'cap.

Also played with a guy 3 weeks ago that pulled 2 sensational shots out of nowhere to have a 2 foot putt for a 3 a 6... he left the putt short!

Easy 5 pointer though and went on to score 32pts for the round!

[sms316]

Witnessed Sandbagger Vance (aka Ned) have a 5 pointer as well as a 3-putt 3 pointer.

[Ned]

Ive had a hole in one that netted me a 5 pointer!

We have one female member at our club and we allow her to play in the men's comps.

She had a 2 for 5 on the 6th hole this week, when happened to drop me from 3rd to 4th place by a single point. Timely thread.
