Not at all i enjoyed taking money of you yesterday at Royal Dornoch
Bugger just seen the CSS for the day which was 75....
so could have got a sizable cut at least down to 7.
Other bad news, i forgot to sign the card so was DQS, Doh.
up 0.1 instead of a handicap ajustment of back to 8...

I posted earlier, but it probably made no sense as my missus was ushering us all out the door.
The thing about those pesky "bogey" holes most of us seem to have is not to go and Van-der-Velde them.
Take our 16th. I've made 8s/9s/10s even an 11 on that hole trying to make par. I don't even try anymore.
4i - 4i - wedge, what can go wrong?
(looking at my last four rounds, which is what those random numbers are, taken off masterscoreboard, I've gone 4-5-5-5 last 4 games.)
Our 18th - where I have even more trouble (although never racked up really big scores) isn't such an easy proposition so I don't even have a strategy, although if I start making 8 more regularly, I will work one out!

I let you win
....so 5 shots next time then!
I let you win
If we play off the whites at Nairn you can have 5 shots no problem
Our 16th (SI 3) is 420 yards with OB all the way down the left. Narrow funnel to aim at and an average drive still leaves 180-200 yards. Bunker 60 yards short and a ditch if you carve it. If you bail out right into the semi it takes the green out of range in two. I'll take a bogey 5 everytime and run.
Seventeen is over 200 yards. OB tight left and thick rough right (about fifteen yards offline). Deep bunker right and shallower one left of the green. SI 13 and not a given par.
I've managed 9 at the 16th and worse still a 9 on 17.
The way I see it, I have the capability to make bad scores. It isn't about course management always. I took 9 on a simple par 5 in the last medal having been on the fairway. Opted to take 5 iron to play short and leave an 8-9 iron in. Snap hook left. Lost. Took the hybrid I'd wanted to hit and carved it right into the thick stuff. Lost. The 6th flirted with the crap right too and a pitch and 2 putts later a quadruple from nowhere

On our 16th a iron off the tee is not an option.
its 425 off the white and a slightly blind tee shot as the is a big mound blocking your line of site for the left hand side of the fairway. With thick gorse on the right and gorse, then heather, two foot high roungh on the left you would have no chance.
And if you go down the right side there is no run on the fairway due to a large damp patch that would usually have dried up by this time of year, but due to the amount of rain its still a factor unless you can fligh the driver 270 which i know most guys on here can
.just can' bring myself to hit driver, wedge, wedge!

Maybe next time, have some doubt
More the bunkers though at the moment. they have taken to raking all the sand up the face, with the idea that the ball rolls back to the middle. Sand is just way too soft for that.
over the last few month if you go in a bunker with any sort of run on on the full the ball is plugged.
The only way i got the thing out in the end was cos it ran into the footmarks i'd made
You can always take an unplayable and either drop the ball somewhere in the bunker that is playable, or go back to where you hit your approach shot from.
By the sounds of it, that's a better case than trying to hack out of your bunkers at the moment. Just have to take your punishment I'm afraid.

Not an issue for unplayable. I'm usually an ok bunker player, even the last few times the ball has been plugged i've still managed to get it out.
The trouble with dropping it in the bunker is the sand is so soft the drop just plugs so you are no better off.
The key is stay out of them and prey
