After speaking to Duds, who used to set a divisional banter thread each event, then the idea, because of low post counts in past, is now to have this one thread and i will post the new event each week for members to chat about anything relevant to that particular competition throughout the season. I am only doing this as Duds is due to be absent from here in a few months time. Please just chat away ;-) WEEK 1 : Billy Mays Memorial @ The Red Thorn Golf Club

Cheers oppo. Now it's down to everybody else to get these forums working. :+)
Now..... My rounds so far. So many lipped putts I was screaming at the tv.
R1. managed a -2 after sitting at +1 until late in the day.
R2. Those winds are a killer, upto 17mph cross winds made getting close to the pin impossible. Finished at +1
Total score so far -1 after two rounds. Certainly won't be vying for an exemption this week but fingers crossed I avoid any strikes.
Good luck all

Soooooo . . . . does this mean I SHOULD or should NOT drink heavily before the 2nd round. Are you still playing left handed duds?

I suppose one could say I got my @#$! together on the back nine during today's 1st round... And that pin on 15! WTH? Had to make a long par putt there, and had to chip in for par after a terrible tee shot on 18.

Got demoted from B because I use tour clubs. I notice many here do not.

Got demoted from B because I use tour clubs. I notice many here do not. If you cannot hit the fairway as much with tour clubs as you can with player, you might as well not use them. Rough=sure death in this game. Id rather be 30 yards further out from the fairway, than in the rough closer every time, hell probably make that 40-50 yards. I think I can count on one hand the number of birdies I have gotten when I'm in the rough, anything over 100 yards out.

Tough heavy rough on this course. You REALLY don't want to go looking around the course.

Had a slightly better round going only to double 18. -6 through two rounds. Gotta take a couple days off and finish closer to the weekend.

personally I think everybody should have to use them in tournament play. We call the others baby clubs for a reason.

I would absolutely use tour clubs with a smile if they mandated them on all tours, but the lower tiers are too unbalanced if some people are using easier clubs and some not. I just cannot hit it straight enough consistently yet to use them in tournament play. I'm shooting -3 per round this week with players, that's bad enough.

Looking good for the start of season 4 with a -5 & a -10 for 1st 2 Rds. 2 more decent Rds could see me in a exemption spot.

We should have CC-ABC all in one thread.
Anyway - round 2 was much better then round 1 for me. -5 and now -8 I think my GIR was actually better. Still gotta work on tail winds on approach shots. Lofting is weird as you catch more wind. It's a delicate balance.
