Anthony Kim just shot a NINE on the second.

Drove into the rough, slapped it into a bunker, took three to get out.

I feel so much better about my game now.

oohh the bait has been set!

The only difference between us and him is that this is a thing that happens maybe once a year, while with us it can be once a round!!!

I had four blobs at the West mids and they cost me 40 shots, amazing, isn't it, yet I still managed to finish 1 point behind the winner.

No Paul, that is not the answer as the two competitions, Stableford and strokeplay operate under different rules, We played a Stableford competition and no gross or nett scores could or should have been posted on the forum as they are incorrect.

I might also point out that I play a completely different strategy for each of the two types of competition, Stableford lets one attack more with the inherent possibility of getting into trouble, but it usually only costs you 2 points. Strokeplay on the other hand is everything in the hole, on every hole, and the total score is what one is proecting.

Not forgetting the completely different strategy again for matchplay.

The 10 shots is all to do with Golfshakes software, but you are still missing my point.

Scores cannot and should not be recorded in a Stableford competition, yet a botched up version has been presented on this site for everyone to see, when the true facts are either not available or are being invented.

One cannot be penalised by 10 shots anywhere in the rules of golf.

What John is trying to say is that unless you finish the hole you cannot 'guess' the end result, in some cases recording a 10 might be very generous.

It is very hard to enter rounds on here where stableford was played because you could still 'blob' a hole but still end up scoring 38+ points which could result in a cut but in actual fact you've not played to your handicap.

This is what I found when I started to play in monthly medals, it makes you concentrate the mind & makes course management a big part of your game.

I entered my round at Ombersley yesterday because even though it was stableford I still played out every hole.

John.

You wont get the Master to bite Grass hopper

John, see my reply and links on the other post, the Uk handicap system does allow for this

I think we need a way of indicating if stroke or stableford was used to record a round then.

Anthony Kim IS a yank

Just watched Jimenz do something similar just catching the ball in the bunker and the ball went 1 yard to the right.  Not that I would ever get out of the darn thing in the first place!!

Hope Jimenz continues on the good form though and this was just a blip.

just look at Tom Watson go, lets hear it for the old guys!

Agree nice to see the pro's are human and having a mare.  I wonder how many most of us would take to play the 2nd in strong winds!
