About my golf

Have been playing golf on and off for the last 8 years. Achievable level of low 20s but with work, family, kids and running this site my golf suffers and I have been lucky to play more than 4 times a year. 2009 is the year of golf, time to see the handicap tumble. I'm always up for a game so feel free to drop me a PM.

hallo Darren. Im going to play in a club competition and they have told me that i must be affiliated to a club. Would this include golfshakes? They need a handicap certificate and said i must be affiliated. Could you help me on this matter please. Thanks in advance

How do l get a Golf Charity Day advertised on Golf shake ??? It on 25th september so time is of the essence..... Thank You James

by James Nowak on 22nd August 2009

Hi Darren, this is about my hanicap 8.8. Can you tell me why it has come down from 11? I assumed it was because I had a decent round when I played in a comp with CGL and Allan Bostock passed the scorecard onto you (I think I had 11 pars) but he says he didn't pass it on. I have never submitted a scorecard to Golfshake as I use it for the Forums and play in games, the last one was Willow Valley NE qualifier where I only got about 26 pts so didn't even bother to put in my card.

by Patrick Bourke on 19th August 2009

Hi Darren change my handicap to 16.1 please and any qualifying games i play i will post to keep it all up to date.
