lichtie23 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 78 for me in the 18 Stableford comp giving me 37 points and a 3 point lead as it stands. Course was playing very heavy so no run on the fairways but makes it a bit easier to attack the flags. By my calculations I should have a 0.4 cut on my handicap taking me to 10.6. Driver is definitely the most reliable club in my bag just now which makes this game a lot easier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Slow start from Grant Forrest today with a couple of early bogeys reaching the turn in 1 over, but he has come storming back, coming home in just 28 blows, with 8 threes including 5 birdies and an eagle. Clubhouse leader on -17, but Arnaus and Cabrera Bello are both under that score and battling it out for a home win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Cabrera Bello hits a shocker of a drive on the last, catches a tree, drops onto the cart path and goes backwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 After a convoluted free drop, Cabrera Bello finds the greenside bunker. Arnaus in the same bunker off the tee, knocks it to about 8 or 9 feet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Cabrera Bello knocks it just about stone dead fro the bunker, but Arnaus will have a make able putt for the win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Arnaus puts a very ropey looking stroke on it and pushes it wide, Cabrera Bello knocks in his par putt, as does Arnaus. Into a playoff we go. Tied 3rd finish for Forrest, T9th for Marc Warren. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 8 Scottish players inside the top 50. Pretty decent stuff with a couple earning some crucial R2D points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Played the last Sunday medal of the season with a gross 87 to defend on the handicap index. Good front 9 of 42, but a fairly disastrous 49 back 9 including an 8 at the par 3 14th. Dumped my tee shot in the hazard, I should have just hit 3 off thd tee but went to the drop area which is a shitehole. Duffed another into the hazard, drop again and left it left of the green, took 3 more to get down. At least that will get chopped on the adjusted gross meaning the 87 gets replaced with an 89, so I should go from 16.1 to either 16.3 or 16.4. I'd have bitten your hand off for that starting the season on 22. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Belt Caley Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Bit late to the party here but started the season at 2.7 and finishing it at 3.2, mainly down to not practicing due to moving house and sorting a lot of that stuff out. Next seasons goal is scratch (and beyond!) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 A few Scots needing to find some points in the last few tournaments to make sure they keep their card for next year.Grant Forrest took his winnings for the season over €500k with yesterday's tied 3rd finish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Guy I played with yesterday was a former member of Bishopbriggs who is thinking of coming back again. As well as being a member of a club, he plays in 2 or 3 opens almost every week. He is retired, and travels all over Scotland and occasionally into the North of England to play. The way he looks at it, he gets to play on a lot of courses for less than he would pay as a visitor with the chance of getting some money back, and most clubs try and make sure the course is in top condition when they host an open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my mates does this. He's a member at Helensburgh, but pretty much only so he could maintain a handicap to play in Opens. With the new SGU £6 a month membership, he's probably going to bin Helensburgh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may still need to keep a club membership as I think a lot of clubs are against the idea of the SGU membership and are limiting Open entries to people who are members of clubs only 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
