Mr Hahn Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Finally decide to bite the bullet and join the trolley club for the first time in my life. Have always carried my clubs but recently found that on days when the weather isn't great, the bag starts to weigh a fair bit with all the waterproofs and is bursting at the seams, not to mention carrying is a real faff if the rain is on and off as it frequently is in Scotland. Hopefully a bigger bag and a trolley gives me a bit more energy closing my rounds! Got a lesson booked for a week on Saturday to iron out a few issues I've been having. Been hitting my mid/long irons really nicely but can't hit my shorter irons for toffee and my driver seems to have developed a massive right miss (my bad shot has always been left).

Mark Connolly Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Trolleys are magic, but I also have a hybrid stand/trolley bag to force me to carry on occasion when I start being lazy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Last year I missed out by a shot for qualifying for the club's ko handicap competition. Even worse this year as I had the same score as the lowest ranked players, but lost out on the tiebreak rules as they all have lower handicaps than me.

peasy23 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 That’s not fair It is fair tbh. It's a best 2 nett rounds from 3 qualifier, so you can't use a back 9 countback. In the event of a tie the decider is then best gross score. My own fault for taking 2 sevens last Saturday.Another tough gig on the US Tour at TPC Boston as Scottie Scheffler hits a 12 under par 59 in round 2.Meanwhile at Troon, two days of gusty winds have taken it's toll at the Women's Open with the projected cut looking like falling at +9, with only one player under par.Saying nothing about the tourney at Celtic Manor, but Bob MacIntyre hit a 78 today to miss the cut after an opening 68 yesterday. I refuse to mention anyone else as that always seems to put the hex on them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Scheffler's 59 could be in danger, DJ has started like a train playing the first 4 holes in -6. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Scheffler's 59 could be in danger, DJ has started like a train playing the first 4 holes in -6.But this can’t be true surely. Rory tells us the courses in Europe are too easy and the players winning here shoot 25 under every week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our club just makes it aggregate score of 2 qualifying rounds so use better 2nd round or better final 9 to differentiate if required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just battered his birdie put 5 feet past on 12, the implosion could be on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) In for a 60. Disappointing but he only managed to create one good birdie chance in the last half dozen holes. Edited August 21, 2020 by Ro Sham Bo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
