    This is what golf is all about!

    Out of an original 64 pairs me and my playing partner, two 14 year old 21 handicappers have made it through to the last 4 in an important fourball competition at our local club. After winning our quarter final match by 7 and 6 we now get to play a 0.6 handicapper and 3 handicapper in the semis this Saturday. And get this, the 0.6 player happens to own the club and the 3 handicapper is last years captain!

    That's great! What scores have you guys been posting? Are you just playing that much better then your hdcp? Or is everyone else tanking?

      When we play a round we can each normally post a score of about 4 or 5 under our handicaps so you could call us bandits. There were a couple of occasions earlier on in the competition however when we easily could of lost but luckily for us our openents were'nt on good form either and we managed to struggle through!

          When I said that, I just meant it was a great thrill to have done so well in a competition for a change and a great experience to have had the chance to play with so many low handicappers and learn from them. Dont worry however we'll have lost by Saturday and true golfing talent will have prevailed.

            Don't go in with that attitude or you have lost before you even start. Think of all the positive moments that have gotten you through this far in the competition. Nothing is impossible. The odds may not be in your favour, but I'm sure stranger things have happened.

              At least my understanding is that in Handicapped 4 ball matches 2 high Handicappers can be very tough to beat. So I think that the odds could easily be in your favor. As long as you do not blow up on a lot of the same holes.

              Besides if you recorded your scores and did not cheat on your handicaps then you have nothing to apologize about. Your handicap is what it is and the fact you are shooting better scores will eventually lower it if it has not already done so significantly.

              Good luck
