Convert metres to yards:
Add the first two digits (of a 3 digit number) to the original number:
150m ....... 15+150........165 yards.
0r
80m......... 8+80..........88 yards.
10% then :-)Add the first two digits (of a 3 digit number) to the original number:

left so many shots out there. Greens had been hollow cored as well. Hopefully they recover quickly!Anyone willing to help me out with a bit of laymans explanation?
I play Golf socially and normally just 9 holes with the same friends. We just play stroke play and don't take it too seriously. I'm also not a member of any club.
Anyway, I'm playing with a bigger group at an 18 hole course next week to raise a bit of money for a workmates son but have just had a message to say its Stableford Scoring and I need to know my handicap.
Haven't a clue what I should use as a handicap or how to go about keeping my score, I have Googled various different explanations but I'm still a bit confused.
What normally happens in this sort of situation?

for the first time in yonks broke 80...... Yet left at least 6 shots out there but struck the ball well. Still 75 was a high point for me lately.
The tip a few pages back regarding takeaway helped me no end. I was so he'l bent on not whipping the club inside tat I was reverse pivoting plus keeping the face facing the ground at takeaway - with occasionally catastrophic results. Still suffer with the odd pull/hook but hey ho........

Hi Dave
I play around Cambridgeshire (badly sometimes)
Where abouts are you, North, South?
I tend to play at Pidley as it's a lovely course and friendly atmosphere and the 19th holes pretty good as well.
I am based just outside of Peterborough, was contemplating St Neots but just want to get out and play a few courses to get my game going at this point lol, its not very good at the moment I play around Cambridgeshire (badly sometimes)

Wyboston Lakes in good as well, if you just want to play 9 then the Old Neane near Ramsey is not bad either.What days do you play? We try and get 9 in after work or play Sunday afternoons.
I'm not that good either, especially as Until Friday I hadn't played since November.
