Playing this course tomorrow. It's quite short, but my aerial survey shows ponds and bunkers in front of the greens, clearly saying "If you think you're going to thin one and scuttle it on to the green on this course, think again!"

Designed by Old Tom Morris no less!

Described in my book as a challenging parkland course with some interesting holes and tight fairways.

Looking forward to your report.

The competition was strokeplay, so you have to record exact scores BUT very high scores on a hole don't get entirely included in the calc for your handicap index. Despite the high score yesterday, my hcap went down from 26.3 to 25.9.

[We play Staplefords and our handicap system records "Blobs" as double bogeys so it seems a little harsh to be recording an 8 on a par 3.]

pretty yucky score today, but some great shots to give me hope

things that happened - took a fresh air putt on the 18th to avoid breaking 100

got a birdie at a longish par four

took an 8 at an apparently simple par 3

got a 5 at another par 3 after ob tee shot and bunkered 2nd tee shot

at least index is moving down as a 26 knocks out a 29.1

I am good at not understanding things properly.

I'm given to understand that ultra high-handicappers can get a point for a double bogey or even in some cases a triple bogey - on some Par 3's, depending on the Stroke Index. So, theoretically, a 29 handicapper playing a Par 3 with a Stroke Index of 10 would get a point for 6 shots, which is a triple bogey.

Just what I've heard, obv.
