New Golf Season - High Hopes?

[Hibs90]

Played the first round of the club champ knock outs this morning. He won the 15th and 16th for the 3&2 victory.

This guy was supposedly an 18 index (I'm 17.4 at present and was the lowest index in the 'C' class knock outs) and he was roughly about 5 over thru 14 holes. 18 index aye okay then . Decided to look at his scores on the Scottish Golf app after. Discovered he's only submitted 5 cards since 2022 and 3 of them this year. There is no way in hell that he was an 18 index, I'd have said anywhere in the 8-11 range based on what I seen today. Maybe if he actually submitted cards his index would be where it should be and he would've been playing in the B class event instead.

Thing is, it's not like I played badly and just lost cos I had a shocker. I played very well. The holes I won, I literally had to play perfectly. This guy was just far too good of a player for me. And I get it, even the worst golfer on the planet can have a day here and there and shoot the lights out but this just felt differently. I can take losing to someone in and around my index no problem but I can't take losing to someone who should never be that index in the first place because they only submit 3 cards a year.

Just pure nonsense really.
