    Stab at Warra today with CB80 and Dancer.
    My game has improved slightly with the majority of drives being straight enough, but chipping length was unreliable. A couple of 3-putts didn’t help. Three wipes didn’t help either.
    29 points.
    I lose a ‘played to’ 12 flag, so it will be interesting to see how much my ‘cap moves out through the soft cap.

    Stab at Warra today: 28 points.
    My handicap is capped at 3.1 over my cap point. My next four rounds will push 4 flags out. I might get another shot back, although the way I’ve been playing it won’t make any difference.

    Old farts’ nine hole this morning.
    Although playing off 16, still only had 13 points. One wipe and three ones. The other five holes were ok.
    Weather was ideal, so nothing to blame.

    OldBOgey 15/16.5/17

    I jumped my 30 June target, going from 16.0 to 17.0 in one round yesterday.
    And now there’s a little icon (a ‘cap’) on my golflink page.

    Goal achieved.

    Stab at Warra today.
    Some good shots, some rubbish. 26 points.
    Definitely ‘crisp’ this morning, slowing everything down, much nicer this arvo.

    Another stab at Warra again today.
    Scoring a little better – up to 32 points for today.
    A bit chilly this morning: minus 2.6 when I got up, but had warmed to 1° by tee off.

    Is this still on?

    It seems that, with golf back on, the impetus to zoom has waned.

    Stab at Warra today.
    Most drives were straight up the middle, but I had a few miserable failures causing a couple of wipes.
    Overall, scoring was better, achieving a 30 point total. First time into the 30s since the covid shutdown.

    MM, stroke & putting with Olinda today.

    Apart from a few blowout holes, I played reasonably but had far too many 1-point holes and only two 3-points.

    Lots more work to be done.

    you didnt indicate how many strokes you had only points.

    How do you have 1 and 3 point holes and blow out holes (wiped holes) in a stroke round ? was it stableford for MM or stroke?

    stroke means every shot has the same value which is why its the best guide to a golfers true handicap.

    It was stroke. But stroke rounds are handicapped on stableford points. So, we count strokes, points and putts. From memory, it was 98 – 14 = 84 nett.

    Two rounds of crap. I can’t play off 12. The swing had been improving, but that’s gone again.

    20 rounds of crap and I might have a usable handicap, except for the bloody anchor.

    yes i see you are now off 14 for day, thanks to the new World handicap

    I’ve been playing off 12 at Warra, so it was good to get back a couple of shots.
    I really need a handicap in mid 20s because that’s all I’m good for since the lockout.

    My golf is getting worse.
    Four wipes, ten 1-points, and four 2-points. Yes, just 18 points on 18 holes, and I didn’t get the NAGA.
    Can’t blame the weather, although a bit cold. It was perfect for golf.
    Oh, woe is me.

    Stab at Warra today. Too wet for carts yesterday. A bit better today with just a little drizzle.
    My recent form continued unabated. A few wipes, too many 1-points, total of 24 points.
    More flags dropping off this week, so that should push my handicap out a bit. Although I might get a couple of shots back, I’ve been playing around 10 over handicap. A long way to go to get back to ‘normal’ and now winter has set in.
