This from Scottish Golf. Remember it’s your net differential multiplied by 113 divided by the course slope rating. You might also only be playing of 95% of your playing handicap too. I don’t fully understand the 95% bit but yesterday my playing handicap was less than stated on course board and Scottish Golf app. I’ve given up trying to understand why but was a shot more net than I thought because of it.

Must be the 95% thing then. Can't see anything else otherwise.

Probably not worth bothering about, I'll just let the system do its thing.

That’s exactly where I am. Off to Dunbar for a bounce game. ��

Another 40 points today, the putter looks to be the best investment i've made in years.

The 8 holes i get a shot, i 3 pointed all 8.

I currently have a scotty futura X putter, would anyone recommend moving to a lighter putter? Struggling to weight putts right with it

38 points today, quite windy and a little bit of rain. This new putter is worth twice what i paid, putted in from the edge of the green twice, 20 foot and 25 foot, both for birdies and 8 points.

May have missed it so apologies if so, but what putter do you have?

I bought the new spider.

Medal today off the whites, 81. Two 6s ruined my score, one at a par 3.

***blackpoolhibs*** · 25-05-2021 10:28 AM

41 points off the yellows yesterday, handicap cut to 7.6.

Didnt even win, came 2nd to a score of 48 from someone off 24.

Poor round today, 32 points off the whites after a good front 9 scoring 19, then the erse fell out my game.

**BroxburnHibee** · 26-05-2021 02:10 PM

Played my brother on Monday. Tucked him away scoring 41 points. Best I've played in ages. Today I get a card in my hand and I'm hopeless again. 30 points. Hate this game

***greenlex*** · 26-05-2021 04:13 PM

Bathgate , Barberton and Harburn the next three days starting tomorrow. Looking for great things. 😁

***blackpoolhibs*** · 28-05-2021 02:33 PM

37 points off the yellows today, getting very consistent. 😁😁😁

***greenlex*** · 31-05-2021 05:18 PM

Ended up at Kingussie yesterday. Fabulous views all round. Enjoyed it. After a couple of double bogeys to start managed to get it round in net level par. I’d go back there again. Very enjoyable.

***blackpoolhibs*** · 01-06-2021 08:01 AM

34 points yesterday, although i started off par birdie, i couldnt keep it going.

I was still a bit pished for the 8.11 start after a heavy bank holiday Sunday.

I've been planning a new putter for a wee while and sorted it with our pro today after my round. After hitting a few with my old putter he immediately fixed 2 faults! I tried a few new blades including the TM Spider. I had noted what you said Blackpool about the club so focused in on it.

I bought the Spider S. The pro said that this one was more suited to my stroke than the EX.

So thanks Blackpool. If it proves as good as it appears to be then if our paths ever cross in a .net outing I am due you a pint or six 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

It certainly has improved my putting, i'd guess it is saving me 3 or 4 shots a round.

My recent points have been between 29 (boo!) And 34 so 4 shots better per round would be great 🏌👍

***blackpoolhibs*** · 02-06-2021 12:38 PM

40 points off the whites today.

***Viva_Palmeiras*** · 02-06-2021 01:33 PM

Rubbish. Played the Castle Course at St Andrew’s. Must have lost about 7 balls to savage rough and 3 off the cliff at 17 :/

Back to the range...

Drove very well and putted well again, the wind seemed to be with me in the holes i got a shot. I'm expecting another drop to my handicap tomorrow.

***FifeHibs*** · 02-06-2021 08:46 PM

Anyone fancy a game through at ladybank or leven links drop me a pm

***blackpoolhibs*** · 02-06-2021 08:49 PM

At ladybank on Saturday. Looking forward to it.

***blackpoolhibs*** · 03-06-2021 05:40 PM

What a course Royal Lytham is, if you don't like a bunker then don't ever go near that place.

It's long, the rough is very difficult, but the greens were nice and not overly quick.

I was over the moon to hit 32 points off 8, especially for my first time.

Pretty sure i'd do a better next time, as i was hitting quite a few blind shots not really knowing there was a huge bunker waiting for my ball more often than not.

I'm not sure i'd pay the membership fee's to be a member, even though i'm pretty sure they wouldn't let someone like me join in the first place.

***blackpoolhibs*** · 04-06-2021 01:19 PM

29 points today, just a crap days golf. Shouldnt have bothered going this morning, but i didnt want to let my mates down, but thats 4 games this week, and my athletes body is not as finely tuned as i would want.

I'm shattered.
