Picture 1
This is the first of a series of pictures. These pictures need captions. I will give a prize to the best caption at the Spring DOGS tournament.
In keeping with the spirit of financial regulators, OFSTED and Standard and Poor, I will change the rules, and my mind, as and when I see fit.
Yours respectfully etc. David
Appeal against unfair handicap
A very merry Christmas and seasons blessings to you all.
What happened to my 28.5? No sooner than I get a decent round I get punished!
I'd like to reassure fellow pups that it was purely an accident. I am also, grugdgingly, prepared to accept the honourable handicap secretary's decision.
Ho Ho Ho and have a good one
Regards
David

Winter Top Dog
It's been a while since I (or anyone else) last posted. I have to admit that I cannot remember all the outcomes of the Winter Masters, other than the fact that Mike was an exceptiopnally worthy champion, for the third time. What we failed to recognise in the excitement of the day was that he shot an 80, his best round by 3 shots. Last Friday normal service was resumed - he scored 97.
Other notable achievements on the big day included Charlie's best 9 holes (42 over the back nine); and more importantly (sorry Charlie) an exceptional score by David. According to my records, he scored 100 which is 7 better than his previous best, and popped in his first birdie on the 14th.
Consequently, there have been some substantial changes in handicaps. It needs to be mentioned that if the score on a single hole is more than two shots over the handicap, then the excess shots don't count, eg if you shoot a 9 on a par 4 this is counted as a 6. Consequently, an erratic round can do some serious damage to the handicap.
So, here they are, in ascending order.
Harry 11.4
Richard 12.5
Mike 12.8
Kevin 15.3
Charlie 16.5
Malcolm 19.3
David 25.5
I have taken note of the scores posted by Martin and Richard Maunder. With enough rounds, they too will be given a D.O.G.S. handicap.
