I hit 3 birdies in a row, and managed to get the score a bit more respectable and ended up losing 4 and 3, but this guy was clearly a much better golfer than his handicap, he should have been off at most 16 in my opinion.
I was parring holes on the front 9, that a 27 handicapper should never par, he did and made birdies too.
I've seen bandits before, probably even been one myself in the past,:wink: but that was the worst i've seen ever. :greengrin
