British Masters at Hillside this week should be a good tourney, then the second major of the year is the following week with the USPGA at the Bethpage Black course, which is always a tough set up. One of my mates played it a couple of years ago, he plays off 5 and struggled to break 90. Bethpage has the potential to be utter carnage, but in a good way. It was even tough on Tiger Woods PGA Tour! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss the green long, short, left or right then you are in trouble. The rough was all very thick, and that was just the normal set up, would imagine it will be worse next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Played with my father in law with the intention of submitting my first card for handicap on Monday. Played ok, bit rusty after not playing much for a while, but was plodding round hoping to sneak in just under 100. Got to 16 and lost 2 balls and walked off with a 9, then proceeded to fire 3 balls off the tee on 17 into the wilderness and NR'd. Seething with myself. I should have at least tried to post a score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC it's quite a tight finish at Whitecraigs, not the course to chase a score. Having said that, the last time I played there, the houses behind the 1st green were still being built! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 280 yd par 4, but it's a blind tee shot that's quite tight. The smart thing to do would have been take a 5 iron off the tee, but I've never claimed to be smart. 18 is a solid par 5 to finish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still post a score. You just NR those holes and they are counted as a double bogey, Think is fairly standard all across Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said that I couldn't submit that card. I have a feeling once I get a handicap, then what you said would be the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth asking the handicap convenor, unless you've already binned it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 4 sub 70 rounds sees Robert McIntyre finish tied for second at the British Masters, just one behind the winner. Richie Ramsay fell away over the weekend but still hung on to 5th place. 2 good pay cheques and important Race to Dubai points for them both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another good week for the Scots on the European Tour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expatowner Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 This season I have been playing in a "Pennants" competition, representing my club Chamberlain Park, eight players from each club play each week. There are 7 divisions and we were competing in the fourth (called Captains), which is a "no-handicap - play off-the-stick" type arrangement. We've done really well and are top after all the round-robin games. I've been picked in all the rounds to play at No 8 and have been lucky to win 5, half 1 and lose 1. Play-offs: Second placed Windross beat third placed Pakuranga to play us in this Sundays final to see who gets promoted. My knees are knocking already at the thought of the first tee on Sunday. Wish us luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
