Hello all,

Just a thread for your first round scores of 2017.

I played my home course today, finished +4.

2 Birdies for me too.

Your scores?
 
I played Leven Links yesterday and finished +7 so 3 under handicap 😊. I was -2 scratch through the first 5 (almost got a hole in one) but finished the front 9 +5 😂. Not bad considering it was the first time I played there and most of the winter tees were right back
 
Beautiful afternoon to be out. Strange old round. Didn't feel I played that badly but only scraped 27 points. One of those days I guess. Drives just off line enough to matter, chips that don't release, putts that don't drop. Great to be out though and the score didn't matter today. :)
 
Have to wait until next Saturday (hospital appointments permitting) for my first game of 2017. Played great last Friday and won a society outing on 38 points (cleaned up with nearest pin and longest drive too) so a lot to emulate. Saved the best until the end. Hoping for better thing in 2017 and definitely don't want another 1.2 handicap increase this year thank you very much. Only got two days leave between now and end of March and sooooo tempted to try and get a day off on Friday or next week just to scratch my golfing itch
 
Played my first round of the year today at Rhos on Sea with my sister, daughter and one of her friends. Came in with 28 points (+8) after an abysmal front nine where my 52* wedge refused to make contact with the ball each time it was pulled out of the bag.
 
Played pairs skins today with my mate against my brother and his brother. We were 8-1 up at the turn then halved 10, 11, 12 and 13. I missed a 2 footer on 14 to halve that gifting them 5 skins, back to 8-6. Went on to halve the next 3 before I chipped in for birdie on the last to win 12-6.
Worked out I had 43 points with 2 blobs...here's to 2017!

squeezed in 9 yesterday at Leven. A few generous tee's but 6 was right back and into the wind so made that hole very challenging.
 
A promising start - 34 points in stableford comp.

3 Main plus points were: (1) my chipping - club variety, distance and accuracy improving. (2) Successfully out of the 3 bunkers I landed in - a major success for me. (3) My confidence with the 3 wood. My Driver is now in the bin as just not been able to use it.

Looking forward to 2017.
 
6 holes around a frosty home course. Concentrating on swing and strike which both pleasantly surprised me

Off to book my new year's lessons though...a frenzy of putting and short game !!

Good luck in 2017 y'all
 
Played today at the course I was member at for 2 years.. remember why I left now lol greens awful (very slow and full of bobbles) but for £16 a round including breakfast meh

hit a 98 (my best at that course) 38 points with not a single par all day (every par put would lip out!) so considering the conditions im happy

back 9 was very good aswell bogeyed all but 2 holes
