Club Champs Roundup

So Gary Wing won the Scratch and Nigel Jones won the Handicap.

We had an interesting discussion in the bar afterwards why we have a scratch and a handicap champ. The scratch champ being considered the 'Club Champ'. Surely the best net score should be the champ ?

Or why don't we have a champ for each Catagory of Golfer ?

Anyway. I'm neither so doesn't matter.

Well refecting back on the weekend I can't be too unhappy.

My driving on Saturday killed me. Yes I hit just about every bunker on the course over the two days, but on 3-4 occasions it took me more than one shot to get out. I recon I must have lost at least 6 shots due to not getting out first time.

Putted pretty well overall. I think 31 and 33 putts. I think only 1 or 2 3-putts. Missed a few short ones as well. One on the 18th on the last round which would have got me a little handicap cut to award my efforts.

Hot some great irons shots and some really good 3w,5w and hydrids.. Couple of bad wedge shots. But nothing major and in general my wedges from inside 100 were ok.

Around the greens I was pretty solid which pitches and chip and runs. All giving me good 1 putt changes and many leaving tap ins.

Not sure where I came overall. I know I finished 9th on Sundays score. But was 70th on Saturdays. Might find out later if I get time to go up the club..

Next Comp is a Medal on Sunday. Out early, 7:44, again.

I'm going to have to re-think my goals for this year as the qualifying comps are running out. I think 10 is going to be a stretch.
