I played in a tournament this weekend where I watched a guy that was a "10" on this course shoot 77-73. 73 with 4 birds at least 4 or 5 putts that lipped out. He won low net by 6 in a 156 person field... Apparently the same guy pulled the same crap last year as well...

Thats the kind of crap that goes on around here. It doesn't help golf when someone cheats and wins. The course pro's should do something or there tourny's will suffer because noone likes knowing they don't have a chance of winning.

I played in the same flight with the guy that shot 69 last year in this tourny. So I went into the clubhouse and asked the pro for my money back....lol I said that I was having a hard time believing that the 10 handicap that shot 3 under wasn't going to win again......By the way he (the sandbagger) played terrible and got second. Good stuff

Ahhh anyone can have a good day. The fact that he didnt back it up with another -3 tells me that he just had a good day.

Ha Ha Ha I know your not talking about my 69 in the club championship because I dont think you played it LMAO, besides I started day two with double bogey, bogey, so I dont think I played too bad to card a 76 LMAO, plus I wasnt a 10

I wouldn't talk about you Brit. You are my brother. Why would you think that this was about you? There have been a lot of lucky fellows around the last few years, I just hope that I can be so lucky. I think that the odds of someone that is a 10 shooting even par is like 1500 to 1 but don't quote me its probably higher. Have a great day Brit and remember that I wouldn't talk about anyone in particular without naming them.

What was your handicap in that club championship anyways?

So do they have 90% or 80% tournys out there? In bowling the leagues always have a set up for example----90% of 220 or something.

I think I have only played in one golf tourny here that wasn't 100%. I will have to look into that. Thanks for the info.

The only ones I've seen around here that dont go 100% are two man tourneys. Me and my son are playing in a father, son in Boise this month that takes an average of both handicaps and then you get to play off 80% of that. Should be fun!!!

I love the reverse sandbaggers/vanity handicappers. I have never seen so many as I did while working at a golf course in Montana. Mostly, the guys who were 0-2 were legit. It was the guys in like the 4-7 range who thought they were "really close to being really good" who would carry 1-pw blades so they could "work their approach shots" and shoot 85-86-84 in almost every tournament they played. Magically, their handicaps never went up due to the 70s they shot in the practice round.

One guy, in particular, had about a 3 or 4. I played probably 25 rounds with him on his home course and never saw him break 80; not once! He is probably responsible for my increased tolerance to beer due to the amount of free ones I had after our rounds. LOL.

I'm more impressed with a legit 15 handicapper than a 10 whose card says 3.8. They're a lot more fun to play with too.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable....

      By collegefbfan ·

      Many thanks.  I read a lot of those posts.   Man, that is really deep.  As an old beginner, during a lesson or on the driving range, I have hit a good shot, you know pretty straight and it goes say 130 yards (7 iron).  The very next swing, I dig a ditch behind the ball.  I know I didn't do the same things on both swings.  Even this last lesson I had, I would hit a pretty good shot, not so on the next shot.  The instructor would quickly point out, "Hey you stayed on your back foot" or "Guess what happened there.  You got all armsy or handsy".  Sort of feels like I need a checklist when I prepare to swing each time.  I can see it now before every swing, "Hey can you guys give me 10 minutes while I run through my checklist".  In all seriousness, I see what you all are saying.  I wouldn't be overthinking it so much if just I could make decent contact most of the time.  Next lesson is about two weeks away.  Can't wait.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable....

      By DaveP043 ·

      I was going to link in the same think @snapfade did.  Your swing is already consistent, repeatable, except for nearly "microscopic" differences.  The more mechanically-sound your swing becomes, the smaller and less frequent those "microscopic" deviations become.
