I know a lot of people who talk about blowing out their handicap for this or that event. Hell I do it myself. But when they are playing a comp beforehand and get to that 16th hole with a chance to post a score and win a golf ball and knock a shot off their handicap, I've never seen one deliberately throw out the anchor and actually back up the words.Mostly I think it is covering for their embarrassment. Nobody wants to admit that their handicap is going out because they are just playing shit golf. Much easier to make like you are ambivalent about it and letting it happen on purpose.

A few months back I had a 1.5 footer on the last that would have got me a shot back and nothing in the comp. I made the bastard. That's the way it should be.

[Shadesy]

I sandbag all the time.

Makes sense.

How else could you explain driver, driver to a foot and make par.

Maybe you post to much?

[bergsey]

Interesting that our saturday comps aren't run in divisions, just a prize for best gross and then nett scores.

You would be surprises that its not just the high handicappers having 40pts that win each week.

Lets not forget some of the guys playing off low single figures can have birdie fests as well. thats how they got there in the first place.

The last few months have been teetering between A and B division (range from 10-14 HC). I've won a lot more in A division with a lower net score than in B. Typical example is Monthly medals: in A grade, a net 69 or 68 is likely to win it. In B grade, a 65 or better is what it takes.

Hence, when the new HC system was introduced, we flipped across to 3 divisions for prizes each week.

A 2 marker won our last two sat comps with 39 & 40 points

Some good golf there. Our low markers have been complaining previously. Their gripe was they only get to play for Overall usually.

[Nuffie]

I think the average bunkers and slow greens at The Vines right now aren't helping the cause for the lower capers much.

Hopefully come November, the greens will be fully back and the bunkers will play a bit more consistent, once they get a bit of attention.

[Yossarian]

OP updated. Good work lads.

[sms316]

May I ask what the sponsorship arrangement is with Ghey Butter?

[Jarro]

Do we really want to know ?

[sms316]

Sure. I'd hate to think that you mods are missing out on some perks. Ghey Butter could be quite useful to one or two of you.

[Jarro]

Why don't you wait till you get over there, then you can sample the ghey butter for yourself.

[sms316]

I'm not worthy, since I am neither a WAnker nor a mod.

Now you've ruined Yoss' surprise.

[Jarro]

Now you've ruined Yoss' surprise.

I'm sure he has plenty more surprises up his ....... sleeve.

[Yossarian]

Ghey Butter will be providing this years trophy, a slightly more sturdy version that will hopefully be used in perpetuity.

[MegaWatty]

It's quite greasy after it's left in a warm car.

[Yossarian]

It is, still some on my seat cover.

[TourFit]

PM Monica Lewinski...she'll give you some tips on how to remove the stain!!!

[Yossarian]

Bump.

[Johnny Canuck]

Fit's lovely lady bumps.

[dc68]

Floor bumps?

[Yossarian]

In the back and in the front.

Any progress on these lads?
