As I’m going to find out next week.
Entered a local prestigious scratch matchplay competition, where the upper handicap criteria was 5.4.
I just made it in.
Drawn against a +2 player, serious arse kicking coming my way, but I entered for the experience of playing players of that level, not because of any hope of winning it.
Can only dream of 5.4. Im more 28-30, but am able to hit the ball and play around the green. Just need the cosistency
And one of them, Spieth, went from looking like he was likely to win every one he entered over. 2-3 span but has fallen off a cliff to the point that he’s largely irrelevant to leaderboards now and has been for a few years
It’s not just a hard game but a deeply weird game
It is, very.
Played in my club championship qualifying round a couple of years back
Wasn’t playing well, and walked off 11 having just 4 putted to go 8 over (playing off 8 at the time).
Played the last 7 holes in 2 under.
Very weird game.
Na, it’s a very simple game made complicated by idiots.
A bit like football, really.

Embarrassing
MASHED POTATOES.

Shame that Rahm fell away. Scheffler’s 6 clear on the 16th. Major collapse needed to make things interesting
It’s no shame Rahm drops off to be honest.
Shame no one else couldn’t challenge Scheffler mind, bit of a drab last day.
Rahm got close, but with Scheffler having a few holes to spare where he could make a birdie, Rahm needed to push it, and he was either going to make Scheffler sweat, or unfortunately, fall back a bit as it blew up.
I think he could have coasted to second place, but for a player at his level, if he not winning it, it neither here nor there if he is runner up or top ten.
Scheffler was impressive, but I would have liked him to feel more pressure from someone, to at least add some drama to the proceedings.
Normally I’d give best wishes to someone attempting this, but given he even blows Robbie Savage away in the “annoying cunt” stakes, fuck him.

He was in Canada, figured he should build a snowman!
Really bizarre experience last night.
Playing knockout stages of my handicap club championship.
Opponent turned up and I swear I could smell drink on him.
He wasn’t drunk, but continued drinking all the way round.
NEVER seen that in an official club match before, only on boys outings
I’ve seen it plenty. Little drink here and there, little joint here and there. I knew a guy that used to take a blast of his bifta every time he holed and was making his way to the next tee.
But it does depend on the club - there seems a middle ground of super strict from what I’ve seen, with the elitest clubs sometimes being more relaxed.
Loving seeing the worlds best golfers struggling to break par, a real test for them instead of the default and very boring 20 under tournament golf
