Golf Random Irritations

[Slab]

Played my first game in a month yesterday, 39 points.
Felt really rusty despite trying to keep the swing going at the range, didn't make any putt of note, only had a handful of decent drives
I'm not irritated at getting 39 but rather at the other days I've played much better and scored a lot worse

Silver birch trees on a golf course. My white ball laying among its fallen leaves.
Drove my eyes mad. Time for yellow balls maybe. Or, keep it on the fairway😀

My course is a parkland with a lot of trees. Nothing is done to remove any leaves, so every hole is like this!

Released my random irritation is golf related so should be in here

Golf care

Every year they say renew now at £10 more than last year, no free balls but you get your free rounds

Or sign up with my second email (back to first email next year) and get 6 balls and 5 2for1 vouchers plus it at the cheaper price

Exisiting customers get such poor treatment

I do the same, that said. I've not read much of their terms, but they may consider that as a reason to cancel insurance if you make a claim. Some companies have t's and c's against that sort of thing.

Losing distance and control of my driver. Seems to have fallen apart and means I am struggling for position and distance and playing catch up on each hole

Welcome to my world.

Chipping like a God to leave putts stone dead, and then missing said putts.

 

[Orikoru]

Holing some fantastic putts but missing some of the simplest ones on the same round. Did I putt well or not? Who knows.

Course closed this morning due to monsoon. (so we adjourned to the simulator room , for a couple of hours, which was fun)

BUT - then after that, go to drive home in bright, warm sunshine! Course probably super by 2pm when I was out shopping!

Playing in a mixed pairs better ball event where my lady partner, off a very high handicap, did not even reach double figures in points for the entire round. And she was down to her last ball so asked if I had any spare - "yeah sure here are three Pro V1s".....

Realising I haven't played or even touched a club since the 3rd week of July but still paying my membership. Not sure what's more irritating though the fact I haven't played or the fact I'm not really that bothered I haven't played 🤔 think I'll dust the bat's off this week weather permitting and see how it feels

You've literally missed all of the best weather in the year! Get those clubs back out now the rain's back.

Southgate looking like winning in the Dunhill. He can't chip. At all. How bad are the rest, if the potential winner is junk around the greens.

Not just that, but he is just a horrible person (yes, I have met him).

 

[USER1999]

Good, Perez wins.

Probably the reason I haven't had the desire, what with getting married, honeymoon and some amazing weather I've been enjoying life to much 😂

Miserable weather back so must be time to torture myself and get miserable on the course again

Hey, what did your handicap end up at..?

 

[Wolf]

Hey, what did your handicap end up at..?

I've ended up at 8.1

I'd forgotten all about that during my break do I need to top up the pot.

I did get into the 7s but steadily got a few 0.1s back thought it'd be me paying out.

The Dunhill Links Pro Am being decided, in the event of a tie, by the lower Pro score.

Surely as it is an event for the amateurs, it should be the lower amateur score that decides it, rather than the amateur riding on the coat tails of the Pro?
