    Got to records some scores on some holes.

    VIC Champs was interesting, I got to play off 5 and I also got to play off 1, all in the space of 7 days.

    I'm not sold on the SCR ratings being the main determining factor. Cobden is not 3 shots easier than Warrnambool to me, and I feel the lower markers get punished a little harder than the longer markers, but that's just a personal opinion.

    Anyway, it is what it is, and I don't have any powers to change it, so my only options are suck it up and play golf, or quit.

    I'll let you know which way I decide....

    I haven't played a scoring round since the new system but I share the same opinion

    In fact im moving to a 'don't know / don't care' ignorance where I will simply turn up, be given a card with a number on it and play

    I have already deleted both the Handicap and GL apps on my phone; like Facebook might take a while to wean off of it but will be better and more enjoyable in the long term

    Plus 1 on this mode of thinking. I've still got the HandyCap app on my phone, but most of the time I forget it's there. I essentially play stroke every time I'm out on the course, so the card is just where I write my scores after each hole, couldn't care less about the number up top.

    Ditto.

    Off 9 at Portland, then next game with same GA and off 13 at Newcastle.

    The new system was cloned on the Visa rewards model, with the more you spend the more points you get.

    Under the new system, I have finally made it as a scratch marker.

    I have also played off 8.

    Turn up, play golf, write numbers on the card, have beer, go home.

    Easy.

    So we just had the GLGC Open. It was wet, windy and wild and the hardest conditions I have played a tournament in. Subsequently the daily difficulty was +3 each day.

    Can it go higher than that?

    Nope. - 1 to +3 is the max allowable range for the PCC. See Item 14;

    Does anyone know what -1 in green on gross differential means? Mate had a super round yesterday played 7 shots under his handicap now all rounds show -1 in that column

    It is likely a "Bonus reduction for exceptional net score"

    • To establish whether a score is exceptional, GOLF Link will compare the player’s GA Handicap at the time the round was played with the number in the ‘Score Differential’ column for that round. (The ‘Score Differential’ column is one of the columns that is displayed in a player’s handicap record on www.golf.org.au.)

As a result, the impact of the reduction will remain after the next score is submitted, but it will dilute over time as new scores are submitted.

    It was pretty suss. As if a player of your level would go across the green from a bunker, not once, but twice on the same hole.

    It takes skill to hit a ball from a bunker to another bunker. Its a much smaller target than a green.

    I thought all it took was fate? I mean, how often do you see someone go from fairway bunker to greenside bunker?

    Definitely suss. Hadn’t come close to playing any shots like that all day.

    Hey! At least i didnt take 12 shots from the bushes, pick up and say "gimme a 10"

    I told Andy not to go looking for it. Kevin Na's record was in danger. To be honest, if Andy didnt pick up, i think he still would have been there.

    Still nowhere near the Ozgolf record of a 37* on a par 3.

    * it was recorded as 37 because we lost count at that point.

    To be fair there was a stiff crosswind.

    Deflection and fake news. My shot count was at 6 when I picked up, plus an impending penalty shot if I wanted to drop and hit again. I picked up because I had spent enough time on that hole (and JC looking for balls), and really couldn't see a good option to get out of the situation, plus the card was already trashed.
    1. Drive
    2. Pulled approach into the trees/long grass with a restricted backswing.
    3. Attempted out, which drove it deeper into the grass.
    4. Attempted out, which hit a tree a few metres in front and disappeared into the grass never to be seen again (even though JC saw where it dropped)
    5. Drop
    6. Attempted out, that was less successful than the last one and also disappeared.
    In hindsight, there was an option to go 30m further back to a path, then play along it, then hopefully get a shot into the green after that. Meh!

    I was standing metres from where the last two dropped, saw the exact spot and still couldn’t find them. That was some serious kack.

    There was a moment when Andy appeared to find his ball and then couldnt find his clubs.

    I keep forgetting to ask our handicapper when i am at the club, but some here will know. If a round at an away club was submitted twice, can my home club fix it, or does the away club have to fix their own mistake.
