Bigsmak Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I'm on the site again.. Looks like they are struggling to deal with NRs as a score as I have 4 or 5 of them in my top 8 rounds. I think under the new system NR is not an option and the score would automatically put in the appropriate net double bogey for the scoring system... But.. what do I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very rarely a ways off buffer. The cuts are few and far between and the 0.1s and buffers are pretty evenly split. The closing holes battle to secure a -0.2 or to sneak into the buffer will be a big miss for me.

I'm short, complete 54 holes of play, get someone to mark your cards, sign cards, hand them into your handicap secretary or pro. They'll allocate you a handicap based on the tees you played off etc. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your in the same area as me, I'm off 12 at Pumphy. Capable of mid 70s, bu a bottle merchant, too. Pond at 16 gets a lot bigger when on a score.

You would tee it up a smidge higher if you visualise hitting a draw or holding it into a left to right wind, or to hit a fade with a mid iron. Tee it down a bit if you're trying for a low launch, etc. I always use a small standard tee or more often I pick up a broken bit of wooden tee to use. Never a pre-set tee.
