    Nah thats cool G69, I know it's not the hardest of tracks but I'm not sure about being easier than emerald. There's plenty of water and most holes are pretty tight. 5900 off the tips too. It's no Kooralbyn but hey it's cheap.

    Well I guess the crowd has spoken, thanks to all who posted in my favour. Seems like the consensus is that I'll keep it under wraps until I shoot 6 under at the Aus Open

    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!

    Nice rant. As expected, you missed the points entirely. WTF does golf in Toronto have to do with scarfie big noting himself (with no proof) in this thread?

    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.

    To be fair, ISG dropped itself in the sh!t.

    In all honesty - what's wrong with a little niggle? It's not like he called 100% of OzGolfers a bunch of 'self-pleasurers'.

    I believe the title of this sub forum is:

    What did you shoot this week?
    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.
