-8  :'(

And I finished with a birdie on the par 5 17th for the + and parred the last after missing the green left for the +  :-[

Could've been -12 I suppose  :-\ - Ugly golf atm.

ouch roost, can say i havent been much better though :P been hitting the driver every where :-X the only reason i had 35 points on saturday was because it stayed in the bad for most of the day (in fact, on the 6 holes i hit the driver, i bogeyed all but one ::))

Play off 4 at the heritage golf and country club in victoria. first course designed by jack nicklaus in australia!

Missed tee off slot, waited 45min for another slot - my mate who hadn't played in 4 weeks had 4 scrubs to start and just wasn't feeling it. It was boggy, foggy and sleeting with rain - FUN times  ::)

At the twelfth green, next to the club house and car park we looked at each other and we knew we'd had enough.

I finished 12 holes with 22 points, my mate was on 10  :o

Bring on the Spring weather.

its a scoring system called stableford, you get points on each hole based on your score, a par (to handicap) is worth 2 points, a bogey to handicap worth one point, double bogey or worse 0 points, birdies to handicap are worth 3, eagles 4 etc. to play to handicap for a round is 36 points

thanks pyro,  as soon as i read stableford i gave myself a face palm. ive seen sableford in match set ups on tiger woods golf, but just dont normally play it..
 
i do have 2 more question now though.   is it a better way to keep score ( a more acurate representation of a round)?
  and how does a handicap relate to a single hole  i.e. lets say a handicap of 14 , what would be a par 4?  would u just add 1 shot to each hole?

stroke is a more accurate way of showing your score, stableford you dont necessarily count all of your shots (if you have a really bad hole) but stableford is good to play occasionally as it may speed a round up slightly, and the scores are usually better

on a handicap of 14 (which is exactly what im on :P) you would be allocated 1 shot on each of the 14 hardest holes, there is an index on the scorecard for a course rating their holes from hardest (index 1) to easiest (index 18), meaning you would get 1 shot on the holes indexed 1 to 14

awsome thankyou,  now everything makes sense  haha  i had always wondered what the index on the scorecard was for.
  so i can add 2 shots on atleast half the holes  lol   brilliant ::)     i might try it next time i go out for a hit.

had 21 points yesterday :'( and the shaft in my 4 iron snapped due to unknown circumstances :o >:(

[pyronerd]

managed 17 points more then wednesday today :P first good round in quite a while actually

[McRooster]

At least I managed more points today than the Crows - 29 for me (12 front/17 back).

Really struggled to get going today after a 6/1 start, scrub second etc. My tee shot from the 4th  :-X Spat the chewie at 7 and began the climb back at 8 after driving the par 4 and making the 3 for 3points.

Used a new Odyssey putter today and it had a great feel, definitely time for the Bridgestone driver though to get a siff shaft or upgraded to an r11  :-\ - Was going to try a demo today but the Pro didn't have a stiffy  :P
