Played 9 holes last night after work. Birdied every par 4 and 5, but doubled every par 3.

Stupid game

I was a bit like that last week, on the front 9 I parred the 5 holes where i received a shot, and bogeyed all the holes where I got no shots. Was 4 over on the 16th tee, but finished double, bogey, bogey for a net 70, coming 9th overall :mad:
 
Tubes and his brother doing a matchplay comp with the ginger twins from Harry Potter at a course not too far from me, thought it would be worth a watch.
They're just unwatchable for me unfortunately, lasted 5 minutes.

Strong winds. I've played 2 opens over the past 2 weekends, at courses I really like, and it's been blowing a gale both times. It hasn't ruined the experience but it has made a it harder work than it should have been.

One wasn't at Dunbar was it, the Open was there on Saturday and it must have been very windy, at least later on, I spent the afternoon in Berwick-upon-Tweed and it was blowing a hoolie

I saw on the start sheet at Dunbar there were quite a few from your neck of the woods playing

That's not a surprise. It's an hour / hour and a half depending on where in Northumberland, easy run up, good course. Well worth it. Opens are just a great way to play other courses (y)

We'll be heading down your way soon, my daughter and I go to Croft at Darlington for the Touring Cars, stop off at Washington services for a Costa on the way down, day at the racing then over to Hexham for a pizza before heading back up the A68, it's a great day out, lovely part of the country 😀

Update: He's now accepted the fact he can't play and suggested we go ahead with the 2 v 1 this Saturday. Other chap hasn't answered to confirm anything this whole time though... I guess if he's not there on Saturday we claim the win.

If we play the match and somehow lose against one bloke though... Might have to quit the club and golf altogether. 😬

Come on Ori, we need to know! Are you giving up golf?

Washington services :eek: . That has to be one of the worst in the country. Surely there is somewhere better to stop 😄.

Trips like that with your kids are great though. Great days out (y).

Just stop there cause it's handy, just for a stretch of the legs and a quick coffee, I'm open to other suggestions though

It is a bit of a dead zone around there and because it's within a reasonable distance from home at that point I'm never looking for somewhere around that area. Ultimately, you don't want to be travelling too far off the A1 so it probably is the best option. It's just a bit grim though.

(had a look, there is a Dobbies garden centre just below those services, just a couple of minutes away. Their cafes are okay and there is plenty of parking)

@Beezerk you probably know that area better than me. Any suggestions?
 
I hit a total of 3 good drives today and 1 semi decent one

Of the 4 one was the best drive I've hit this season

What a ridiculous game

Somehow I scored well and carded a good score

Stupid game
 
The biggest irritation is always the same......me. Played like I was ready for the Tour last week. There are a lot of 3 year olds that could beat me this week. This yo-yoing is killing me. Beer helps.
 
County Golf

Prob could have a list of my irritations about them

Find most who play for our local one and the organisers to be rather arrogant and stuck up with a sense of being above

Many in the “team” look down on our players despite us slapping them in winter and summer scratch comps - most of them think they are pro

But latest irritation

County champs is at our place this weekend - no issues , they have 40 people enter , two rounds in one day - no probs we will give you from 7 until 9 for the first round and then 12 until 2 for the 2nd round - that should also given the paying members the chance to play the course on a prime day

Oh that’s not good enough for the county they want a 2 tee start form 8:30 then from 13:30 as well

So they have ultimately decided to close our whole course for the day for 40 people

There is a reason why I don’t go near the events
