I've been playing in a few competitions and done reasonably well. The trouble is; at my club we play off the same tee's that we do in the summer. We don't play off forward tee's. The course is very, very long with all the mud, cold air and wind. There is little chance of scoring close to your handicap. (Some par 4's are out of reach in 2 etc). Most medals are won by net scores over par.
I'm hoping the weather gets better and we start to get some "run on".
I can't wait because my game is as good as it's ever been !
