Playing off 12 handicap shot a 75 (par 72) on the bottom course at Hainault.Anyone who plays golf at Hainault will know the bottom course is super tough and i had one of those mornings where EVERYTHING went right(even eagled the last).I have been trying to break my previous best ever score(76) for a long long time and today i finally did it...I'm dead chuffed

Thanks chaps...some nice comments on here even from some of those whose political views are ..err..mm slightly different from my own(the only part of me that is left happen to be my clubs
)Tell..played the top course yesterday which is probably 4 shots easier and carded a 87 |

By:
that sounds more like me twizzle, tell me is that the course you can see from the m.25 just b4 the m.11 turnoff?
|
|
By:
No Tell...that is Stapleford Abbots...The course you can see from Motorway 25 is the Priors course which is a poor track...the other course (the Abbotts) is a sensational 18 holes.Ian Woosnam opened the course in 1991 ...rumour has it he turned up so pi$$ed that he only played the 1st three holes and then fcked off in his helicopter

Well done Twizzle, I struggle to break 90 on a regular basis
 . I have a frozen shoulder and have not held a club for ages,my mates often say the way I play, off 18, it ALWAYS looks as if I never held a club in my hand! |

By:
Well done, Twizzle

Will you get knocked or wasn't it in a competition.
|
|
By:
Not a compo crystal but a very competitive recreational four ball where absolutely NOTHING was given..to make it even more satisfying we were playing off the whites.

Cheers Slippy and Bigmo...playing a different course tomorrow..no doubt be back to the upper 80's but i will post my score good or bad.

By:
Well done bud. But does sound like your cheating yourself playing off 12.
Off a par of 72, your previous best of 76 would give you a handicap of 4 (ish). Shooting a 75, would drop you to a 3 (ish). Anywhere round my way, you wouldn't have anyone to play with. And would be labelled a right bandit. |
|
By:
Honestly nomiskroy my average score is normally in the middle 80's...those two rounds were totally freakish..i holed every putt going and had a fair few lucky breaks along the way..i deplore folks playing off the incorrect handicap and i can assure you i am most definitely no better than a 12
|
|
By:
Don't doubt that at all.
I had a hole in one, feck knows how. But got clobbered handicap wise. Was off 23. Went down to 18. Just as a detterant I think. Would love to be a genuine 12. |
|
By:
Congratulations on a great round twizzle. One of those rare days when everything goes your way.
I will achieve a long held ambition in July when I play the two courses at SUnningdale. I suspect I will be lucky to break 90. |

By:
That's very very good, Twizzle. 2 more like that and you'll be off a much lower handicap.
As a golf course bookie (which I was for ages) I'd have your price a bit short in a pro-am team event. I have never gone round in less than 100 on any course! When I first had a go at golf - about the time you got your 76, I played at Hainault (The top course - much easier, I only tried the bottom one once), there was a par 3, of about 120 yards, so I lined up my 9 iron.... backswing, let go, skim the club head about 1mm into the ball and it goes about 3 yards to my right. So, I (all pizzed off) just walk up to the ball and hit it without lining up or looking...... Straight in the hole!!!!! To this day the best shot I've hit. Unfortunately it doesn't count as a hole in one  |

great story Study..that would have been the 15th.When i first started playing in the 1980's i found the bunker on that hole.8 shots later i managed to extract the ball from the sand and plonked it on the green.I then 3 putted for aa 11.In temper i hurled my putter into the air and it got caught in the branches of a tree.I then spent over 20 mins throwing up lumps of wood to dislodge it much to the amusement of the golfers following our game. |

Have you still got the putter?
I haven't been to Hainault in nearly 30 years, I should think. So I don't remember it that well. I do remember a very long UPHILL straight Par 5, which I once parred and was well chuffed. Now I'm back darn sarf, I might have to visit the place. Is it still public? Is there still a red shirt rule (that was Hainault wasn't it?)? Has it changed much? |
