Bad decision at the weekend

AAAARRRGGGHHH - I made a bad decision on Saturday - I went out and played with my mates ... they played in the competition ... I said I didn't want to play in it as the weather was really bad & didn't want to go up 0.1, but I did play...

So - I posted 2 over my handicap ---- it was "reduction" only and I would have WON the comp by 2 shots ----- not only that but the top 8 qualified for a knockout --- so I'm now pig sick

But was that because the pressure was off? I played really well one time because I thought I wasn't going to finish the round. Well played though

"reduction" only : no club is allowed to run a "reduction" only comp.

You're not allowed to declare "reduction only" in advance - I guess what gwr means is that the CSS went to > SSS+2 which in effect makes it reduction only

I realised that I didn't explain that very well. Anyway, this one time at the golf course....

Soon it'll be this other time at the golf course and I'll be relieving you of your cash

Look forward to it Grumps

We all knew you meant "if you had entered the comp GWR you would have played crap"

Talk about kick a man when he is down!

SSS+3 you mean davie agree though it doesn't read to me like GWR is stating the comp was declared non-counting prior to the start of play - keep your hair on setup

i turned up late to an open competition once as the secretary had given me the wrong tee time over the phone ( ). the starter gave me a later tee time - i knew i was going to get DQ'd ... went on to shoot a decent score that would have got me 3rd scratch and 3rd handicap prizes...such is life

Step away from the big wooden spoon Blue, that's not what I meant and you know it . All I was trying to say was that GWR would have possibly approached it with a different mindset had he entered the comp. That's not to say he wouldn't have played as well or even better.

Big wooden spoon safely tucked up back in the drawer Grumps

I did not say that it was RUN as a "Reduction Only" - why did you assume that ??????

The system works it out .....

Bluecoverman - your probably right - there was no pressure .... so I wasn't standing over the ball worried about where it was going

I was relaxed - and it probably did make a difference to my mental state - so there was no pressure

It was Grumps who made the 'pressure' remark not me GWR, I wouldn't dare suggest such a thing!

Hahaha
