Well I finally did it...I shot par. My lifelong goal has finally been reached at the tender age of 22. Beat my previous best by 2 shots.

It's funny because for the last couple of weeks I have been thinking really hard about how to score. I came up with a relatively easy (in theory) solution: 4 bogeys, 4 birdies, the rest pars. Well today I did just that :mrgreen:

This was after shooting a miserable 86 at Kooralbyn just 3 days ago. Well I bought a new putter and went to the practice green. Then I really took my time on the course (lined up putts etc.) 3 putted twice but sunk two 20+ footers on the closing holes, and finished with an even par 71.

Next goal..break par.

Jarro...my index is 5.1, but that could be somewhat misleading as it is only based off 6 cards.

And no it was not in a comp. I don't really play in too many comps as I'm not a full member anywhere and I just like playing socially by myself or with a mate. Comp golf has it's pros and cons but I hate playing with people that take it too seriously especially around the greens (I adhere to al the rules BTW) resulting in massively slow play. 3 Practice swings on every shot etc. It only takes me 2.5 hours compared to 4+ in a comp, and I like it that way.

Did you bomb it over the lake on the 18th to set up your best score or did you lay up like girly tosser that hits 5w bunts of the tee. :smt038

I always bomb it over the lake :) (well always try), infact today was one of my biggest, cut the corner, middle of the fairway and had 175m to the hole. Had 5 iron but came up a little short, only got par.

So what if he lays up, that was Zach Johnson's plan at the masters this year and he did alright !

If you know the hole then you would appreciate how much balls it took to go for it with a PB on the line.

scarfie1
21st October 2007, 07:00 PM
Thanks for the comments everyone. Regarding laying up, it's my luck lately that when I do lay up, things turn to sh*t. i.e I would hook my 3 wood off the tee, or stuff up the second shot and place pressure on hitiing GIR etc. Sometimes I have more confidence to blast it with the driver than layup, especially on that hole where the only real trouble is out right, I'd have to really stuff it up to be out there.

you forgotten about the water long left as well, that comes into play if you try to carry the water. ;)

scarfie1
21st October 2007, 07:25 PM
Yeah don't remind me, i've been in there a few times. I only really end up there when I'm not trying to carry the water and just hit straight but end up hitting too far.

I don't really see what difference it makes, it would be nice to do it in a tournament, something worth winning, but a weekly competition is nothing, just a bunch of blokes competing for a few crappy balls and vouchers. To me golf is golf, par is par, no matter what the circumstance. It's not like the course gets harder or anything, there were some pretty tricky pins out today and the tees were back.

agree 100%. i don't feel anymore pressure in a comp round then i do in a social round as i usually have some $$ riding on every social round that i play. i take more care and line up putts a little longer in a comp round, which can lead to a better score.

i think comps are somewhat b/s in general as handicaps come into play (although i still play every week). it's like giving someone a head start in a race and then having them turn around and tell me that they are faster.

it's the same dumbass argument that says a hole in one shouldn't count in a non-comp round. is it any easier? i think not.

good work on the 71.

Although it'd be nice to have an "official" hole-in-one in comp play, i have no probs with somebody spruking off about one in social play at all ... providing they have a witness to the event :smt023

Where is I am the opposite, or at least was. I generally played much better socially than in a comp. Now days I just don't care, and play shite at either!

Its a nice score in a social round. Nothing more than that. It wont count for handicapping purposes. If you had a hole in one during that round then that would not count for anything either.

I would like to see you repeat it in an official competition round, then I may be somewhat tempted to go along with your humble statement of:

I don't get this whole belief that competition golf is the only golf thats counts BS. Who was the almighty one that decied that. I understand that I won't get my name on some board if I shoot the course record or get a hole in one, but that doesn't matter, all I care about is that I did it. It does count for something because I make it count, and thats all that matters, what I think. To me I played the game of golf by the rules of golf, and any score should count, whether your competing against other hackers or not.

I always play off the back tees, however due to bad tee conditions they weren't 100% off the plates, but not much inbetween. Only a couple of metres on each hole. It's funny how they say social players must play off the whites....what a joke, they assume your going to be a hacker and hack up the tee box or something. It's just another one of the stupid members rules I ignore.

Agree, although yellow are social tee colours at most courses in NSW.

I think that as a social player but hold an AGU handicap you should definitely be allowed to play off the member tees.

I agree with the intelligent posts here ( and not with the obvious ones who are just sh*t stirrrers) What difference does it make if it is a comp round or a social round. It is still golf!!!!!!!!!!! Why doesn't it matter if it's not in a comp round. Does that mean that the pros could turn around and say to us - "oh that doesn't count cos it wasn't on tour".
He played by the rules -and on the day - he conquered the game. Doesn't mean he'll do it every time for now - but he acheived his goal and I say CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!:smt038 :smt038 :smt038 :smt038

22nd October 2007, 10:41 AM
congrats scarfie.

I don't think comp has anything to do with shooting a PB. But I know shooting a PB in comp is better (You know you shot the best score of any person on that day). Its one thing to say I set a new pb but if the course rated 6 shot easier that day its not your best. In my case I have broken 80 twice once at windaroo of the social tees on a perfect golf day the other at nudgee in high winds when the comp CCR was 2 over. I know the nudgee round is more special.

As per the title he conquered a goal not the game. good luck reaching the next goal.

Whatever butters your bread I guess. I shot 29 the other day, playing a par 30 with my son, it means nothing to me at all (apart from watching my son).

If I was even par on my home track, playing comp, and had a 10 footer on the last for 70.... well to me that means something because I make it mean something to me.

So Scarfie1, if you make it mean something and get as much out of it as I would with my scenario, full kudos to you 8)

golf is a game that is played on many differnt levels, by many people.

i have broken par in both comp events and non-comp events. i can't really say that one was more satisfying than the other. whenever i play, i simply play against par. if someone says "hey good round, net 70 is a good score", I say thanks, but I still look at it is being 3 over what I should have shot.
the only difference between shooting under par in a comp event is that i might get a $50 gift certificate to spend in my pro shop that has no stock in it whatsoever (although this usually won't happen because some 27 handicapper will have 46 points). I might win $15-$20 in a social round, or even nothing. However, the only thing that is important to me is having the satisfaction of breaking par, without the aid of course ratings or a handicap. The satisfaction of "beating" the game for just one day is all that I need to make me come back the next day, shoot 90 and wonder what the hell went wrong.

It counts for "1" on the scorecard. It won't be on the honour board, but its still a hole-in-one.

goughy
22nd October 2007, 07:05 PM
If you were a yank you could have handed it in for handicapping! Go figure. Always disliked that about the US system. But then again, do they get the access to several weekly comps like we do here?

Great score, regardless of how it happened. My best mate had shot his best round at our home club in a social round with iain and I always gave him props on that.

You're a tough man Jackie boy :)

If you are not playing in the comp then there is no point at all in even recording the scores on a scorecard, unless you want to write it down and show it to your mates to impress them (even though they will probably ask "was it in a comp")?

If you are only playing for fun then you should keep the scores in your head. Only comp rounds should be written down, as the card needs to be handed in. Social or fun rounds dont mean anything and you can't hand the card in for handicapping purposes.

What is the point of trying to better the score if it has no impact on your handicap? How do you even know if you are getting better or worse if your scores arent being recorded officially?

And of course if the par round is questions is to be 100% legitimised then it will be in a comp and recorded on your golflink record. Otherwise you may just be making the whole thing up!

Socials round not meaning anything just shows that you're nieve in understanding why other people play the game.

Who cares about handicaps. I know when I'm getting better because I'm not retarded and can tell when a 71 is better than the 76 I usually shoot. Handicaps are just for making that 85 you shoot seem better by reducing the score for a nett result.


And of course if the par round is questions is to be 100% legitimised then it will be in a comp and recorded on your golflink record. Otherwise you may just be making the whole thing up!

Yep thats what I am doing, making the whole thing up. I don't really care what anyone else thinks, I play golf for my own satisfaction and trying to shoot better every time I play. Grow up.

I have never kept score when playing a social round, especially with the amount of different courses I play. Scoring tends to get in the way of me taking in the course, so I’m just happy remembering a few good holes, laughing at the bad ones & spending some time with friends.

In saying that, I don’t really mind how you treat the round, Scarfie.

Do you even keep score in a comp round? I thought you just scored NCR;s? ;)

For the record, I keep scores in a social round and even keep stats (as long as it's not played off the social tees). If I didn't keep score how would I know who won the money? ;)

For the argument, shooting par is shooting par ... is shooting par around Cypress Point in a 'social' round easier or harder than shooting even par in a comp round at your home track? I know which one I'd be happier with, and as far as records go I could just do what everyone did before computers have my playing partner record the score and sign it.

What would your argument be jack if there was no golflink, how would you verify shooting par in a comp round? Probably show someone a scorecard or get a signed letter from your club handicapper? :D

Disclamier: I play about 7 or 8 comp rounds to every 1 social round.

Because beleive it or not, there are people on hear that care about how others score and Im sure every golfer can appreciate someone doing something for the first time. I think it's sad that your trying to shoot me down because it wasn't in a comp. You've got to understand thats how I play my golf. How many times do I have to say it, golf is not defined by competition. When you look up the definiton of golf does it say: can only be played AGAINST OTHERS IN COMP.

When I first started playing 12 years ago and learnt how to hit a five wood pretty good, do you think my old man said...now now unless you can hit like that in a comp it doesn't matter....NO.

I don't give a f**K whether my round is credible or not. I don't need proof of my round for dickheads like you, and saying that I'm calling myself a ferking superstar just sounds a little jealous.

Golflink makes little difference other than making it easier to verify to score by seeing it easily online. Under the old system, the score recorded in a competition round would still be manually entered into your handicap record at your club and a copy can be taken to prove to everyone that it actually happened.

It is becoming very obvious from your uncontrollable emotional outbursts that your credibility has been damaged to the point where your whole story has a distinct smell to it. What started out as a nice little rant about a probable fictitious score has turned into you becoming extremely defensive when challenged to provide some proof - of which, of course, you have none. I do not believe a word of your story anymore.

Yes it could, so can a signed scorecard from a social round I assume? And if there was no golflink would you expect to have to show mates/associates your handicap record for a par/under par round? No you'd just tell them and they'd congratulate you, no questions asked... where has the trust gone in this world.... ;)

Seems like it counts for naught only for you. And to think I'm blowing my trumpet big time, by starting a simple thread about how I shot PAR is just plain ol dumb. This is the first time I have ever mentioned my scoring, it's not like I keep people constantly updated every time I shoot my PB or pull off a great shot.

It's people like you that ruin a great site like this. How about you stay out of all my threads in the future as you obviosuly don't bring anything positive to the table.

Because the card would not have the CCR recorded on it by the club pro or clubs handicapper. And I would ask "did you win the comp with that score?" and if you answered "it wasnt in the comp" then you would have no cred and the round would have no standing.

I don't often agree with jack, coz he is normally a gizzswallower...but social round scores have nil cred....even if it did actually happen.
don't see the reasoning behind this. do you find it easier outside of a comp? to me it's all the same. 18 holes that the ball needs to fall into in as few shots as possible.

i can't see why scarfie would go and make something like this up. who really gives a shit what a large group of people, many of which we will never meet or see really think?

in regards to the comment about the american handicapping system that was brought up about 16 pages ago, handicaps don't really mean as much in north america as they do here.
all tournaments i have ever played in, stroke, ambrose, whatever, have always been off the stick.
there are tournaments where handicaps come into play, but not anything like aus.
the ability to turn in cards played in a "social" round would actually show a truer reflection of handicap. turning in 5 cards over the course of a week will give a much better picture of my golfing ability than taking a snapshot of only one round. with the very limited opportunities we have to actually play handicapped golf at home, it is sometimes the only way.
we use a rating, or "slope" system of the golf course combined with or score that is used in calculating our handicaps. i would use an online service that asked for the slope of the course (dependant on the tees used) and the score i shot. it would give me an "unofficial" handicap, but one that was calculated accurately, and something i could use as a benchmark to see if i was improving or not.
from my personal experience, growing up in toronto, you could only be a member of a club if dad was a lawyer, doctor, or something similar. every course offering memberships in toronto has a waiting list, a minimum of about $20,000 nomination (this was about 7 years ago) and an insane yearly fee. this is only for about 5 months of solid golf. it makes competition golf (at clubs that actually have them) something that is participated in by a minority.

the cheapest membership i could find about 5 years ago was at a course that was about an hour outside of downtown toronto and they were charging about $4000 for a year. to give you an idea what it is like, i would compare it to a yarra bend ( iplayed there in 2001, and it was nothing special)
they have golf "leagues" but nothing like the comp system in aus, which i think is brilliant to some degree, but too much emphasis seems to be placed on it by others.

final question: did golf's first ever hole in one not occur until someone organized a competition for it to occur in? i'll bet there would be an angry scotsman if he were alive today and you tried to tell him otherwise!

I've played social golf with Jack, he kept score.

I've still got the card somewhere - it prooves that smails 3 jabbed the last to lose.

I guess it comes down to what an official competition is. Not all clubs are on golf link.

The Ozgolf champs aren't an official competition, but I'd claim an ace or a PB round if either happened there.

The course record at Virginia was shot my a professional without a handicap in an unofficial competition - its on the honour board too....!

wouldn't really call it a rant, as that infers that it was written with a little anger. i have seen you over at ISG jack, and i know exactly what you are trying to do, which makes it all the more amuzing. you help turn one board to shit and then try and do it to another?

the reference to toronto golf was in response to the point that was brought up about the handicapping system used in north america, which is perhaps why i view social golf as i do.

i think it is unfair that you jump on a guy because he shot a par round and it wasn't in a comp. i can't see any reason for him to boast and lie about something that didn't happen. are any of us that insecure that we need this type of reassurance?

you and 69 simply saw the opportunity to stir a little shit and jumped on it. scarfie, not knowing you, bit on the bait that was cast.

It matters little to me what you consider to be fair or unfair, as we all form our own opinion on such matters.

The issue here is that scarfie started his own thread to boast about "my finest hour...I have finally conquered this game" when in fact he cannot prove the legitimacy of the score because it was in a meaningless social hit with a mate. The score is not verifiable in any way shape or form and therefore for all intents and purposes it does not exist. That fact is undeniable. Had scarfie shown a little more modestly in reporting his score on these boards then he would not be copping so much shit from me and many others.

I believe the title of this sub forum is:

What did you shoot this week? (http://www.ozgolf.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=16)
Give us the lowdown on your latest game.

Nowhere does it say: tell us what you shot in an official competition.

And it wasn't a meaningless social hit, it was every bit as meaningful as a weekly comp, even more so because I enjoy it more and that's how my golf is done. Does shooting a good round in a comp mean anything more? Nup. And just because Golflink doesn't have record of my score doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Who gives a toss if my round is verifiable or not, only you by the looks. I certainly wouldn't want to be mates with you if you questioned everything I did. Where's the trust gone between Ozgolfers.

Have a scroll down the list of threads in the "What did you shoot this week" forum. Aside from this dubious chest puffing thread of yours, the rest of the threads stick to the standard format, save for Johnny Canucks official, verifiable win in the Kennedy Bay Club Championships (well done JC) and agave's first career ace (in a comp, fully verifyable - well done agave). Yet you are blurting about a round which has no credibility? Are you serious?

Gotta say I agree with the old boy on this one. I am sure that this is a personally important milestone for Scarfie however, and i congratulate you as it is a great achievement, however a social round cannot be compared against a comp round.

In most (no not all) comp rounds you have the certainty of an independent umpire -your partners. No wiggle room, no mental pressure, not the same. But an achievement all the same.

Well your wrong, I have played with a couple of Ozgolf boys at Kooralbyn last week, and have bought and sold off heaps off you blokes. I'm insulted that you would accuse me off joining up to cause trouble. I joined in September last year and have been visiting the site for much longer than that. I had about 200 posts before starting this topic.

To even think that I'm a fake account just shows how wacked your thinking is.

Calm down Flowergirl. No need to get those knickers in a twist. We are just establishing the circumstances as they apply to scarfies "par" round. Interesting that it took 9 pages for him to come clean on the very important fact that he was playing alone.

But enough of this bickering. It's a lovely day outside and I'm off for a hit myself soon. There is a little 5900m course not far from here which should be easy to get on as its not comp day. I'm feeling confident, even though I will be playing alone. I think I can post a 64 or maybe a 65 today. Now would that be threadworthy?

If you're a regular club golfer that plays in the Saturday comp most weeks, of course your social rounds mean very little.

If you're primarily a social golfer, then the social rounds, provided you adhere to the rules, will obviously gain more importance.

I personally don't rate social rounds, but I play reasonably regularly with a group of friends, none of who have handicaps, nor have they ever had handicaps. One of them had an ace in our annual little event last year and another shot a PB round of 81. Both of them are entitled to claim their achievement as far as I'm concerned.

what if you treat comps as social golf as you don't get to play your home course, and comps are cheaper then social golf. :)

In the end all scores matter other wise you would stay at the range.

Webster
23rd October 2007, 11:31 AM
Moe, what about when you are playing on your own and then claim the score as a PB and then start a thread on an internet golf forum telling everyone you have "conquered the game"? Is that the same as a score shot playing with a group of friends?

What scarfie is claiming is not even worthy of being called a social round.

if its the norm that he plays by himself, then yes.

Personally, I would never play 18 holes alone without breaking several rules, including the odd mulligan - so its a bit of a non event for me.

Ladies comps at riverlakes could be as small as 6. I believe if you don't make 25 (or the min to get a CCR) the score is done as a adhoc.

Hi everybody. First post here, long time reader.


I believe if you don't make 25 (or the min to get a CCR) the score is done as a adhoc.Nope. I've got a non-adhoc score with a field of 20.
For fields of 20 or less, the ACR or women's equivalent would be used.

Ladies comps at riverlakes could be as small as 6. I believe if you don't make 25 (or the min to get a CCR) the score is done as a adhoc.do they only play 9 holes in these 6 person comps?

Maybe that would explain the massive variance in her scores :-k

Johnny Canuck

scarfie,

Have a scroll down the list of threads in the "What did you shoot this week" forum. Aside from this dubious chest puffing thread of yours, the rest of the threads stick to the standard format, save for Johnny Canucks official, verifiable win in the Kennedy Bay Club Championships (well done JC) and agave's first career ace (in a comp, fully verifyable - well done agave). Yet you are blurting about a round which has no credibility? Are you serious?

Just a further question for you about your supposedly par round - how many other people were playing in the group? Or were you possibly playing by yourself as suggested in post # 6 of this thread?

Thanks for the compliment Jack.

I think one of the problems that I have is that I am a trusting sort. Also, I view things such as shooting par as a sense of accomplishment, which is all that matters to me. I could care less what anyone else thinks. For this reason, I don't see why people would lie about something in order to get praise from others. However, I do realise that this does happen (from my past readings on ISG, etc..) I trust that Scarfie shot par as I personally would never boast about anything that didn't happen. If he didn't and posted that he did, he is an absolute wanker (hypothetically speaking Scarfie, no offence intended.)

I can see where you are coming from though in terms of the verification process. I have played in social rounds, shot good scores and made sure that I had my playing partners sign the card. The same goes for when I have recorded aces in social games. I just like to have some form of verification other than my word that it did happen.

69, sorry for calling you out, it just seemed like the fire was getting a little more fuel than it needed.

Strange phenomenon. When I am at work, I capitalize letters in my sentences, at home on the laptop, I don't. I wonder if it is the professional environment or the keyboard that causes this as it is not something that I consciously do.

Johnny Canuck
23rd October 2007, 12:35 PM
How do we know that this isn't all reverse psychology? Every time something like this happens, the same few people get branded as the sh!t stirrers. The boot is on the other foot now, why don't people think of it that way?

How do we know that Scarfie (all 200 posts of him) hasn't turned up to cause trouble? How do we know that he hasn't deliberately posted this topic to bait someone? Surely he knew that Jack would bite?

Has anyone met this bloke? I doubt it - he plays solo, and never in comps? How can we tell this isn't some fake account by a vengeful Queenslander?

You've been had, Jack. I bet you feel cheap knowing that now. Typical OzGolf xenophobia.

Maybe he is SVEN!

Johnny Canuck
23rd October 2007, 12:37 PM
Wow..what a game of poker.....scarfie needed an ace on the river to beat him and only drew a deuce.....funny coming from a bloke playing solitaire.

But he took a mulligan and got the ace!

Why bring me into this Jim? I have three posts to my name on this website (all from over a year ago).

Comp round are the only fully legitimate scores. Social rounds are semi-legitimate, but this bloke was playing alone, so its not a social round. Rounds played alone count for nothing.

If I'm anything to go by, probably not. :lol: About 3 weeks ago I shot -2 at what is effectively a par 3 course with a few short par 4s, and besides a 79 last Monday, haven't gotten anywhere near 85 in the 4 rounds I played since on par 71/72 courses. Granted, they were somewhat windswept rounds, but my conquering was quite short lived.

I had some time to kill while the other half got her hair done, so I thought I'd play the local par 3, haven't played it for about 10 years. Highlights included 3 birdies, one of which was almost a hole in one (hit the pin in the cup and jumped out to about 6 ft) When I was tallying up the scorecard I was even par, and I thought of the famous scarfie thread - time to rejoice - I had conquered the game :D
