Golf Handicaps, or more to the point MY handicap
Handicap has been creeping up very slowly over the last few years but actually managed to win a club comp last weekend, 35 points in a stableford
Anyway all scores are put into the computer and I’m informed I’ve been cut 0.2 As I was on
7.5( 8 ) and I’m now on 7.3(7) I’ve been cut a shot.
I appreciate that not everyone is into golf, but basically 35 points means I’ve played over my handicap but because the rest of the field has had a nightmare I get penalised Where’s the fairness in that.Discovery 4 HSE

Those at the BBC who insist on saying draw-ring. There is only one “r” !!
Film lids on ready meals that are supposed peel off - not need a knife to cut through them or alternately come off in strips
People who say “we are going to destroy the planet” . No we are not, nothing we can do will destroy this planet - we might make it unfit for human habitation but we wil not destroy it.

Must be a British thing, then... yanks tend to say “rauter”
Don’t worry about DLCIs, frame relay is hopefully gone in most countries
