X for no score‼️

The one thing you don’t want to see on your score card

It could be a hole that you usually play well or even one that you don’t and have developed a bit of a fear for?  Either way it turns out to be an X on the card.

❓How many times has that happened to you?

Last week I played and got an X on the final hole.  Bit annoying really as the final hole was actually the 19th, with the 10th being out of action.  A short par 3 uphill to a hidden shallow green was one I’d never played before and didn’t really know the distance.  I was just starting to get into my game too by by going par, par, par, par on what would normally be the closing four holes. 

Then na na na na 19 ?  came along, I went way too long and had to chip back onto the shallow green. Some poor putting, which had been pretty solid up until that point, meant I ended up with 33 stableford points.  I guess on a cold winters day that wasn’t too bad, except someone else had 33 points too and yep, you guessed it my 19th hole X meant I didn’t get the win on count back. ?

In the UK we tend to call a no score a blob, but nada, no score, X or anything else is the same annoying result. It just isn’t pretty and can be a real card wrecker!!

❓What do you call your no score on a hole – keep it clean!!
