Congrats! Thats my long term goal, 16 now 7.9, can probably play about 40-50 more years.

Thanks! I'm right there with ya! I will turn 26 in August and plan on playing well into my 80's

Congrats on your achievement! Is the Open qualifier going to be at Legacy Golf Club in henderson?

Thank you! I'm up in the Northern portion of Nevada so my qualifier would be at Genoa Lakes in Genoa, Nevada (south of Reno).

that's just awesome! when's your big break debut?!

You know...I haven't even tried to sign up for the show. How awesome would that be though?!?!

I think I would need a "normal joes" show to be on though. Most of the players they have on there are really good!

That's just it...I just got to scratch. Doesn't mean I will stay there

Actually, every time I had an improvement in my long game, I felt as if my putting went bad. I'd get better with irons (and actually hit greens, or hit more greens) and my putt count would go up and I'd wonder why. Then I figured it out.

Not sure if I have worked this out right, but on the UK Congu handicap system you would be playing off 7....... I'm moving to America lol


(again apologies if this has been calculated wrongly)

[bigphil]

Excuse my ignorance, but how does the

Congu handicap system differ from the USGA calculations? And thanks to everyone!

[Dub]

Outstanding accomplishment!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shortgame85]

Congratulations, my man. What are your new goals, now that you've achieved your old ones?

[arsenic954]

Congratulations! I'm by no means a scratch golfer, but I am a scratch bowler and I remember how good it felt to finally say that. Now the hard part is keeping it there...Good Luck!

How did you even begin to work out his handicap on the UK Congu system without the course ratings and slopes for the courses in which these rounds were played on? -and Congradulations dude, that is pretty much everyone's goal/dream.

without what you would call the course SSS you cant figure that out.

Underparnv: congrats man, that is awesome!!! how far north in NV are you? anywhere near Jackpot? If so lets hook up and get a round in somewhere.

[Bradenator]

Oustanding accomplishment! Now for the hard part...keeping it!

Congrats!

[cambridge1807]

Congrats!!!

Hopefully one day I will also accomplish the same feat and stay scratch. Maybe in 3 years like you, or many more...

Excuse my ignorance, but how does the

underpar's now gonna move into the + region of the handicap... let's play in June. I think i'm playing Bali Hai, Cascata and that ridiculously overpriced Wynn course when I'm out there to do Tao and Tryst....

and seriously... big break aspirations?

Good question. I would really like to keep my handicap on the scratch side and possibly even into the "+" realm. I would also like to actually play well in the USGA Qualifiers and my State tournaments. So the current break down would be:

This Year: • Fix my putting. • Play well in the USGA Public Links Qualifier • Qualify for the Nevada State Match Play (for the second straight year) • Win at least two matches in the match play tournament • Play well in the Nevada State Mid-Amateur in Boulder City (basically Vegas) at Cascata Next year: U.S. Open qualifying.

I suck at bowling. I'm lucky to average 160

I'm right there with you. I'd like to know how their system works. And thanks!!

I'm in Reno. I mentioned in the IRC chat yesterday that we should get a Pacific Time Zone TST get together going...that would be pretty sweet

  Bradenator said:

Thanks...and I completely agree. I'm kind of dreading the next revision

  cambridge1807 said:

Congrats!!!

Practice, practice, practice. I know I'm going to have to do the same just to stay where I'm at now...

Sure...I wouldn't mind being on the BB...mostly just to see if the pressure they feel with the cameras on them is as intense as they say it is.

I actually will be playing Cascata this August for the Nevada Mid-Amateur. I've got my nephew to caddie for me down there (walking only!), but it's still going to be pretty brutal. In the State Match play last year in Mesquite, it was 120. Of course, we had carts for that though, so it wasn't that bad. Let's play!! I'm down for anytime and anywhere pretty much over here on this side of the world Wow...that is a lot of quotes Thanks again everyone!

Excuse my ignorance, but how does the

Congu involves all scores, not the best 10, we don't really have slope rating etc, we have 'standard scratch' which changes depending on the nett performance of most golfers, although standard scratch usually goes down due to 20 handicaps shooting 15 over, making it harder for lower handicaps.

  atltony said:

Just did the rough calculations on the assumption the par of the course was 72 (I think, I did it a while ago now)
