When I have played Tidworth (on Salisbury Plain and big Garrison town) we have had Apache helicopters at very low level over the course, a high wedge shot could have hit them- very off putting indeed!?Noise? Back when I was a member of Filton GC in north Bristol the mid-late 80s and early 90s, BAe slap-bang next door had a contract to refurbish the engines of USAF F-111 bombers. Now when these beasts took off your whole body vibrated - you could barely hear yourself think - never mind talk to a playing companion. But in many ways their noise was less irritating than the buzz of the ATCs Chipmunk trainers - as irritating as the buzz when a local stunt pilot is practicing over my current place. Though I'm not that bothered by background noise sometimes it can irritate, and disturb. But hey.
Used to know a guy who had the 'habit' of jingling the keys and change in his pocket just as you were commencing a swing....
Had a twilight round with 2 guys from my old cricket club.
1 of them “doesn’t play much” so went off 28 - he shot 51 points

Heat. I'm not good in it despite keeping fluids up. Wilted and played poorly
plenty must have complained as going past it yesterday, most had been strimmedplayed the Kings today for the first time in a week, set up very strange, theres a fair bit of water, fair enough, but noticed today they had left a collar of rough around the edges of all of them which is mostly clover..the red stakes are in a few feet inside this so you can lose your ball short of the water
just as well theres no comps be plenty going back to the tee rather than take the drop

Evening golf only for me until this weather passes. Just not gonna go out and fry. Especially with no showers (which should be its own random irritation).

Just remembered this; I gave myself a verbal ticking off for leaving another putt short last weekend & my PP said, "you used to be a good putter"
Dunno why but its only this morning that I've taken offense to the remark

. The look on his face when the realisation hits home, genius. So, you were Bishop Brennan

Looking at the weather forecast.
Any chance of a nice still 16 degree cloudy day, whilst not in lockdown. #somepeopleneverhappy

Maybe, I did invoke the lords name a few times (& his son) during the round

It is maddening, it seems to be either chucking it down or 31°. We had one single weekend of 22° and no rain last week, is it too much to ask for more of that?

I have a 2.28pm tee time today.
I love the game so much that I just can't turn it down ......................... but how much water can I carry?

Went out for a knock on my own (at Hindhead), started my round yesterday evening with an Eagle 2 on our Par 4 first hole, 413 yards I believe it is.
Our second hole is a Par 5, for those who know it, it plays like a par 4 for the big hitters in summer. It's a driver and a short iron. So i'm already thinking about -3 on the card after 2 holes.
So I smacked my drive straight into the trees 100 yards right.

I'm loving it. Played Tuesday evening, it was 29 degrees arriving at the course at 5pm, then still 23 degrees leaving at 9pm. Just perfect.
29 degrees today driving to the course at 10:30, and then 31 degrees when I got back into the oven at 2pm. Perhaps a little sweaty carrying a waterproof bag on my back.

We have enough rain and terrible weather in this country, make the most of it whilst we can.

Played with a friend today at 8.04 ... came off at 11.15. It was starting to get really hot ... saw guys just starting their rounds. Rather them than me!
Got a really sharp pain the ball of my right foot. Felt uncomfy playing yesterday but really hurt overnight and has been painful to walk on at work. Had some ice on it earlier (which also helped cool me down) which has taken the pain away short term but worried about it coming back when I play over the weekend and what's causing it. With my dodgy Cilla, a tad of arthritis in a finger and my knackered knees I am falling apart and hardly fit for a golfing purpose.

The inconsiderate person who parked in my captain's space today. So I blocked him in and went off for nine holes.
