Did something I've never done before.

[ManinBlack]

I've been playing golf for 60 years. Today I parred the first nine holes & I can't remember doing that before, ever. Must have gone to my head because I started back 6 (three over), 6 (two over) before recovering my composure & playing the last 7 in level par. Had it been a medal round I would have been tearing my hair out.

Make sure you keep that form for 20th

 

[backwoodsman]

Good play indeed.

But like for the rest of us, two holes spoil a good round

Quietly confident!

Nice one Bill. You'll remember it for a good while. I love revisiting those rounds.

Maninblack, that really was a cracking 9 holes, well one.
However from the title of your post I was expecting something a little racier!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Excellent front nine and no wonder you wobbled a little before regaining composure for the last seven holes. Very consistent and very impressive

 

[Beezerk]

Great shooting sah.
I was 1 under through 3 the other day, half gloated to my pp and then proceeded to go double, double, treble.
Vaughan seems to be a good name for crap scoring lately 😅

Did you check your score after 9? And if so, do you think that your mind set changed?

At a lesser level, I find that if I have a run of say 4 good holes, I end up over thinking my swing because, suddenly - "I'm a golfer, and golfers think"!

Well done Squire.

That is some impressive scoring if you have been playing 60 years, hats off to you.

 

[bobmac]

Well played. Did you hand the card in?

 

[Capella]

Well done. Just imagine that had happened in a 9-hole comp

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Does that mean you've cracked golf?

 

[Fyldewhite]

Nice one, well played. I once made 8 straight pars then (facing our fairly innocuous par 5 9th) promptly stuck it OB......no chance of even scrambling a par. #gutted.

 

[ManinBlack]

No, it included gimmes but, if you knew the people I play with you'd know they were all ones I would have holed.

I'd had 9 straight pars! Even my befuddled brain could keep track of my score under those circumstances.

I'm managing to hit every Fairway at the moment and a lesson from the 1973 Dutch Open champion a couple of months ago put me on the right track, together with eliminating the tempo destroying long pause I had at the top of the swing. Feel as if I can hit the green with anything up to a 3 wood at the moment, they're going so straight. Only time will tell if this is temporary.

I played Bamburgh last Sunday and I think I managed to miss every fairway. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. That means we both had consistent rounds but in very different ways. I prefer your way, ha ha. Off to the range tomorrow before a round at Rothbury as part of a society. I will use your front 9 as inspiration :thup:.

I hope you keep it up. Golf when played that way is a much easier and more fun game.
