No handicapping being done atm due to Covid19.

How's that possible

 

[Lebbo73]

Good question scrappy. Not necessarily, although it is a common perception that X playing on hard tracks score better on "easier" ones. I say "easier" with "" because there's no such thing as an easy course. haha. More forgiving perhaps.

I say scoring (all things being equal) comes with familiarity. So if i was to go to glen waverley gc i may struggle - fairways and greens different! etc.

I’ve always struggled on drier courses with tight lies. Winter golf in cold and dry conditions can be a struggle for me. I like fluffy lies.

 

[Lebbo73]

Me too!! Over the last 5 or 6 years, the handicap floats between 16 - 20 depending on slope
But I can play between 17 - 30 odd!!
Sometimes in the same round!

My GA handicap has fluctuated between 11 and 13.5 for the last 5 years.

I don’t know. Stab social comps every day but no handicapping.

From the 52 point man

Maybe/probably but I’m of the belief that no male under the age of 50 should Be allowed a handicap greater than 27 (the old limit).
You get a 20 year old who isn’t very good but they can bomb it a mile. He has one of those rare days that hardly any putt misses and he hits straight. That’s where a massive score can happen.

A bloke off 30 in the comp I played in today, had 26 points on the back nine.

So much easier to score with more shots given to you.

Front nine ?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Front nine ?

16 for a total of 42.

He had the very rare 3 for 5 on a par four.

In theory its easier with more shots but let's not forget, they are off 30 for a reason. Say cant get off the tee for 14 holes, that's 14 shots lost off teh bat.

Had a 2 for 5 once. probably never again

I did that once. Miss hit a s**t drive that ran along the top edge of the fairway on the 16th at City Golf Club to the corner of the dog leg. I then skull-****ed the PW all the way along the ground and it rode the ridge in the center left of the green to the middle and in the hole. Ugliest eagle ever.

I can only remember putting for eagle once (par 5 at Mornington)
walked off with par...

Sorry didn't realise it was behind a paywall... alternative source: https://aussiegolfer.com.au/golfer-scores-incredible-61-stableford-points-at-maroochy-river/

So the guy had a handicap of 30 at the age of 15 (probably just started to play golf),doesn't play at the club for 8 years and cleans up with 61 points.
What's the bet his fellow members had a word to the committee.

Surely he has disappeared and had lessons somewhere and/or been playing a shitload of social golf and practicing?

 

[Lebbo73]

I can only remember putting for eagle once (par 5 at Mornington)
walked off with par...

I’ve had three eagles that I can remember. The one I described above. Another where I hit the opposite fairway on the left and then hit a beautiful drawing six iron around and over trees onto the green and sunk the putt on a par 5. My last one I hit a three wood on a par 5 from nearly 200m up a steep hill and it bounced on the rake and skipped the bunker at the front to about two foot from the hole.
Eagles are a rarity for me as my best drives only go about 240m.

Nice social hit at Peninsula today

Going low today. Might even break 100

Social 9 holes at Oakleigh last evening. 2 pars, 1 birdie, 5 bogies and a double. Longer irons...didn't really middle them. Chipping poor (fluffed one, fast becoming a problem area for me). Putting was good without much dropping. Far out it was busy...best bit was playing a few extra holes in the almost dark! Company was good.
