    Yeah, not so many kms.

    People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
    No championships worth mentioning in recent years.

    Well I didn’t play during the last bit of fine weather we will see for months, thanks to Dan’s lock down.

    What a coincidence, neither did I.
    I’m starting to lose track of what day it is.

    Stab at Warra yesterday. No comp but handicapped.
    No wipes but only four 3-pointers and nine 1-pointers. 31 points
    34 putts with a few 3-putts. Greens were uneven near the holes – too many feet on the soft ground.
    Weather was good, 10°

    10° when I started @ 11:30. 1° overnight, 3° for the early starters, a balmy 12° for the max. Yes, it’s winter.

    That’s definitely long pants and thick socks weather that is.

    Why would you submit a card for handicap when not in a non comp round…especially if greens are not good and it is cold and not favourable for good scoring.

    better to use non comp rounds as practice to play holes a different way to develop a different game plan. ie play 1st hole with a 5 iron off tee, or take 2 extra clubs for approach every shot and hit to back of green, or hit into bunkers to practice getting out every time.

    by the way the feet marks around the hole are what Putting Guru Dave Pelz referred to as lumpy donuts

    Although a ‘non comp’ round, it was still handicapped.
    Just to get rid of that bloody anchor and get a fair handicap.

    according to your golf link you got a flag last round (non comp) of 22.6 but handicap stayed at 19.0 and your new anchor is now pushed out to 20.2
    Looking back over you last 10 rounds your best Stfd score is 31 points, with 2 flags dropping off your cap in next 2 rounds your Cap is only going to get higher the more rounds you put in under 34 points.

    Your scoring has been amazingly consistent with last 10 rounds of 94, 94 98 98 93 96 95 93 99 94
    Your daily handicap is 18 = 89 so you need to find a way to save 5 shots per round in order for your GA anchor to come down.

    hope you can achieve this

    My handicap was 19 because the previous anchor was 14.0
    An anchor of 20.2 means that will be taken into account after my next handicap calc.
    My anchor should now be 16 (from 11/6/2020), but that won’t be used in my handicap for another couple of rounds.
