Sunday June 20th RND 6 SIHFT @ 'The Oaks'

[simmmo]

yes mike a well balanced course is needed . I don't think anyone wants to shoot a course like the buxted one again ,well unless your slightly odd in the head ( might explain alot ) , so yes bring it on but please don't try and out do em .....

So you want a golf course, but 10 instead of 6, of easy medium and hard, WHY? if you are trying to improve why stick to a formulae that is trying to encourage people who are crap(at that point in time) surely it is better to test the best over 30 targets rather than 10 with 20 gimmees.This is SiHFT it isn't a bean bag hug a lot conglomerate it is a series designed to find the best team at shooting UKAHFT spec HFT not a lets see who can knock over the gimmees fest. Best you plan your courses well because come October you will be in for a rules fest.

a rules fest ? ...look mate nobody wants twenty gimmees on a course but maybe more then just one just to brake the constant kick in the nuts like your last course did , i like a challenge but i also like to enjoy the challenge which funny enough i did in the end but only because i had gone past the point of caring . balance is the key to a great course and at the end of the day there was no balance what so ever at your last course it was just one hard target after another ...... take my hat off to though pulling off a 57 !. im just glad our newer members didnt come that day cause im sure it would of put them off shooting hft again . anyways all the best see ya soon andy ps im sure steve.l will be along regarding your comment on rules and coures at some point tada

The nature of the beast

For what its worth, I thought the course was brilliant - very, very clever target placement. True, it was challenging but what else were we expecting? It lived up to expectations, I loved it.

It is also notable that when we get a clearance (which is after all only by one or two out of 70+ competitors remember, representing about 1.5 - 3% of those who enter) mutterings of "easy course" abound.

The trick is to have a mixture. I think we've got it about right in the series. All straightforward would be boring, all challenging would be dispiriting.

And as this is the Oakie thread rather than the Hobbit one, I look forward to improving on my usual mediocre performance which the Oaks normally brings out of me.

Hurrah!

How very true Richard. I've yet to encounter an easy course at Ford, in this, or any other series.

That's my point Charles, my little puddin' of delight

You found it easy, easy enough to clear it, but how many others did? I made a complete hash of it as I recall.

Hobbit land was a different story - a much harder course at which Mr Simpson excelled, ok he didn't clear it but he was 2 points clear of his nearest rival.

It's all relative Albert, it's all relative

You don't have to be an Einstein to work that out.

Glad you enjoyed it Richard as did many others and I can assure you that the next one will be equally as challenging.
