    Default 2021 Eclectic

    2021 Edition.

    Rules below:

    - For those unfamiliar, an eclectic score is your best gross score on each hole of your course over a given period of time.

    - This Eclectic runs from 1 January to 31 December.

    - Scores from any official club competition round (stroke, par, stableford) played during the dates above are permitted (no social rounds).

    - To enter, you need to record the following:
    - Course
    - Length/ Index/ Pars of each hole
    - Your gross scores for those holes
    - As you play rounds during the year and improve on those gross scores, you need to post your improvements.

    You can get a copy of my pre-formatted Google Sheets Eclectic here. All you need to do is change the Course Name and Length, Par & Index for each hole (Google account required).

    We had an eclectic comp, possibly still do.

    In A grade, everyone finishes 18-20 under* and the highest handicap in that grade wins. Not sure I see the point.

    *no 200m plus Par 3s

    Destroyed the bogey free streaks during my shocker round a couple of weeks ago. Today, I grabbed a birdie on the second. Gotta find a way to hit the fifth green now and then though, or a birdie is never coming.

    Tore my eclectic a new one today, with three birdies counting.
    I still suck at the fifth. Time to dump the 5W, and bring in the 2H, I think.

    Uphill par 3 with a small green that is outside my iron range. The landscape slopes right to left a lot. Misses to the left miss a long way left if dry, and you won't have a fun chip from anywhere on the left regardless. I usually finish above the hole to the right with my sliced 5 wood, if I haven't duffed it. Then you have to pick a spot to land your chip off the green so it can run on. The green also seems faster than many others, so it is easy to putt one too far past the hole.

    Apparently not. I have got on in 2 twice.

    My long game is not good enough to hit greens from 200+ meters. I get more birdies laying up to a number, rather than trying to get on in 2.

    Me too! Lets have a beer on who gets there first

    This thread got me thinking so I started writing down my lifetime eclectic. Not that many so i think I can remember all. Its quite interesting to me what this has revealed, like how they spread out, the different clubs etc. Theres 6 holes i have never eagled but I have 5 on the 8th, all on 5 different courses, all away.

    Everyone else struggling to improve their eclectic as it gets late in the year?

    Last check in was after 13 rounds, and now I'm at 23. I even had a bit of a birdie drought going in the last few rounds, but not today. Two birds for the day. My fifth birdie of the year on 11, when I've had no more than two on any other hole, and my first on the 18. Lipped out a chip on 5 too.

    Golf is strange. I've been playing this hole really well this year (index 2, but playing index 15 for me this year), mostly thanks to hitting drives further, and leaving 8I and 9I in regularly. Today, it played tough after lots of rain recently including plenty last night and played into the wind. So despite a good drive, I took a two hybrid to make sure I had enough to go for a safe part of the green. I hit it well to the mid-back of the green, but with the front flag I had a 15m downhill curler. Got the putt to the top of the hill and watched it slowly dribble it's way down and plop in the front. Very enjoyable!

    For me, yes. I've been making plenty of birdies (29 in 17 rounds since my last update), just not on the 6th. I've had a couple of decent opportunities of late, too. 2 weeks ago left one short in the heart.

    Good one, Courty.

    Two birdies for me, but not on new holes.

    I knew that as soon as I noticed this, it would get stuffed up. I sorta expected a double though, and with a shank from my 40m approach, it was a chance.

    I finally got there! And not a moment too soon. The summer rains could start any day which will slow the course down and make the approach shots longer...

    I've had -19 a couple of times before. There's still time to improve on it but the chances are slim.

    Done! Plus two on holes that I'd already collected.

    Four to go. If the first hole, wasn't the first hole of the round so often, I'm sure I would have birdied it by now, but too often I stuff a shot up. I did have a good look at a putt this week though.
