peasy23 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 From the stuff our handicap sec sent out, it seems you need a physical card for a comp but not a gen play. I'll definitely be confirming this with the pro before I play one though.That's my understanding too, we've had guys DQ'd from comps for not submitting their card as they have got into the habit of not putting it in for general play. Don't know about other apps, but Scottish Golf asks you for the name and contact number of your marker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Good finish in Austria, John Catlin has just missed a birdie putt on the last that would have given him a 1 shot lead, Max Kieffer now has the chance to win it with a 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Back to the 18th tee again for a 5th attempt to find a winner. Catlin just made a superb up and down from the bunker to keep it going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) Perhaps unsurprisingly Bob MacIntyre seems to have run out of steam in the States. Five over for 13 holes in today's round including two double bogeys. Currently tied 56th. Edit to add now 7 over through 14 holes after finding water on the par 3 and making a 3rd double bogey of the round.

peasy23 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Guy I played with yesterday sliced his first few drives, and has a bit of a moan that he never slices it. We discovered he wasn't lying on the 5th tee when the head of his driver flew off, chances are it was loose before that and the impact was forcing the face open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Cink still 4 up at the turn, nobody really putting any pressure on him yet.A sore +7 final round for Robert MacIntyre brings an end to a really good 7 weeks in the States. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Good line from Cink to his son who is caddying for him as they were heading up the last with a 4 shot lead, "I was expecting a dog fight but no dogs turned up."Half decent fantasy haul for me with Fitzpatrick T4th, Morikawa T7th and DJ T13th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, and a "sort" function to allow you to keep track of this on the App would be useful. I suspect I'll still be using "old-school" buffer in my head for a while. though. I've now played 3 rounds under WHS in the last 8 days and my handicap index has "crept" up from 6.0 to 7.7, a full 1.0 of that yesterday. I'm normally a fairly steady player with what I'd call a honest handicap, and although early-season conditions aren't my favourite (bumpy greens, variable bounce, etc), I'm finding such a fluctuation hard to fathom... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many scores do you have in? That seems a big swing if it takes an average of best 8 cards out of 20 into account. I put a card in on Saturday for 36 stableford points which replaces an identical score which now falls out of my 20 most recent. No change to handicap but the benefit that most recent card will remain counting for a good while. I'm at a point where I'm playing off 9 when in a sweep off the yellow tees at my course but off 10 when off the Medal (white) tees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of scores certainly isn't the issue - I've averaged 60-odd counting scores a year for as long as I can remember pre-WHS and play 36 holes of medal golf most Saturdays between April and October. I thought the "soft cap" might've kicked in for such a fast change, tbh - maybe that'll be the case soon given that 2 of my next 3 scores are also in my Top 8 from the last 20. I suppose I'd better get used to the prospect of double figures for the first time since I was 15 at this rate... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Looks as though you can’t submit general play scores if playing in another country which is annoying. Playing a couple of English courses next month and ideally wanted to submit general play scores just to get my number of rounds up but doesn’t look possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
