Thanks for the reply rosecott. Makes sense. Let's hope for a nice little bonus cut. Won't hold my breath though :)

With the introduction of ESRs will annual reviews still happen? I had an extra shot taken off after a couple of good rounds at the start of the season and have had a few smaller cuts (and a fair few 0.1s) since. I did wonder if the ESR has been introduced to keep things in order as an when they...

I can't believe how fast this year has gone. To think the season is nearly over!! Looking back, I've had a great season. Target was to get from 20 to 16 and I achieved that within weeks. Probably too quickly in hindsight. Since then I've had a few good rounds but more recently it's been a...

So, three weeks of no golf seems to have worked. Played in our final monthly medal of the season today - stood on the first tee and really couldn't be arsed. No expectation other than to hit lots of rubbish shots. Which I did. But not as many as I thought, and I ended up shooting level...

Couldn't agree more! :thup:

Great shooting beggsy! Sounds like you're in a nice run of form!

I love playing on my own almost as much as playing with other people! As has already been said, it's a great way of getting out onto the course and trying things out. Nothing better than having the course to yourself when the sun is setting and practicing around a green. I find it really...

Another fan of Castle Combe and Bowood here. Both very nice tracks. I'm a member at Cirencester and obviously really like it (though it doesn't like me at the moment!). Not overly long but the rough this year has made it a bit more testing, but guess that applies to most places after all the...

Thanks for the comments everyone. Tiger, if I ever turn pro (cough!) you're number 1 on the Caddie / Mind Coach list ;-) Feeling a bit better today thanks to some perspective but I never thought I could feel so anti-golf as I did last night! It is only a game and nobody died, and I think it's...

So, another qualifier and another 0.1. Not the end of the world you might think, but boy does it feel like it. Started off ok - par, bogey, par before playing like an absolute turd. No pars, a few bogeys, the rest doubles, triples and an N/R on the 18th due to two woeful tee-shots and the light...

Hobbit, has your club got an A / B Team that you can join? I've been feeling a bit fed up with things recently (mainly due to not scoring well) but I got the buzz back this weekend playing an away match. Admittedly it was pairs matchplay so not too much pressure but playing a new course with...

Nice going Tiger! Recovering from a bad start is never easy, so you should be chuffed to get a PB from it! :thup:

Ah crap! Flying back from holiday then so won't be able to make it. No complaints with my 910 though and only had it 4 months, so not all bad. Good luck to everyone entering. Can't wait to read all about it!

Ah...birdies....the elusive little blighters!! In all of the qualifiers I played this year I have had 1. :( That was a chip in 2 on our par 3 18th. When there is no card to be seen I have birdied every hole multiple times. I played in a charity bow maker on Sunday and had 2 birdies, and in a...

A couple for me... The first a few years ago in my first club champs at my previous club. I was ticking along nicely until taking a 10 on the par 5 9th. One of the guys could see I was angry so gave me some wise words to calm me down as we walked off the green. Two holes later he hit a massive...
