I don't triple bogeys will weigh too heavily on the handicapping, you'd be high teens with a few more scores in the low 90's I would think.

Henno... if you turn up on a Sat and there is a spot they will let you play. They will not let you put your name down on the sheet prior if you a going for your cap.
I'm back.
Another round today, 96 off the stick with a triple and two quads. So I guess it's pretty much around the same net result on the handicap as the 92. I'm thinking a 20 is looking about right for my first 'cap.
Only one more card needed and I'm legal. New rules and all that - I completely forgot about the 3 card change until I was reminded today.
You playing tomorrow?

I am, but at Indro not Pacific, and with two other guys who don't have an AGU. So unless I luck out and someone with a handicap takes up the 4th spot, the card will go unmarked.
Maybe I can sweet-talk someone at the bar afterwards to sign it for me. Providing I don't play rediculously bad - it'd look a bit dodgy getting someone to blindly sign a card with a 112 at the bottom.
I woulda played, but indro is a bit far.

Could do. I often play Wynnum on a Friday. Usually something on at Pacific as well. Could be a comp round with you and some other members on the cards.

It's official, I'm a 20. Today's ordinary round ensured that a handicap in the teens was not to be.
Anyway, now that I'm legal who wants to play with a 20-cap chopper?
Chopper!!
I r****on you're good value in a 4BBB for the next few weeks Henno.
EDIT - r.eckon is in the swear filter?!
You sure it's not a "power fade"!!
I reckon you hit the 'f' after the 'r'.
Young, fit and two-shots-a-hole?
You'll now have to change the thread to 'Playing with a burglar'.
Well done Henno, and I hope you enjoy comp. golf as much as the rest of us.
You don't get me. I'm part of the Union.
Round 2 for me tomorrow. One more & I'll have my handicap!

Well today was a good step in the right direction, went out & shot a 92. Even managed 3 pars in a row, a first for me.
I took my time with my shots, and was generally more relaxed than the week before.
Drives were straighter, irons were more consistent. Wedge play was a bit off, and the putting had it's moments. I simply wasn't landing my pitches close enough to the hole. Need to sort my short game routine out, and take a bit more time over those shots.
Par 3's were the biggest let-down today. Only 6 Par 3's in total, Bogey, Par, Triple, Triple, Triple, Bogey.

It all started at hole 9.... I sprayed one out into the hazard, off the toe. Hit the next straight but short, pitched on & 2 Putted.
Hole 12 I landed off to the right of the green on a bare lie. Fluffed the chip into the bunker in front, got out then three putted.
Hole 16 I sprayed it to the right, pitch hit the bank in front & pulled up short. I then overcompensated & flew the next pitch past the flag. Three putted.
Hole 18, I managed a bogey.
But you'll be happy to hear, I took my time over my shots. Still need to work on a decent putting routine!

Played another 9 this morning socially, driver was fine again. Still the putting & chipping holding me back. From 50mt to 100mt I'm fine, but as soon as I get close to the green I sometimes tried to hit the ball right at the hole instead of running it up. Might try a higher lofted wedge next week, see if that makes a difference.
Practice Practice Practice!
