Golf Random Irritations

New chef in at our golf club. Was going to get lunch but wasn't that hungry in the end so just ordered a simple bacon sandwich. Fiver. A fiver for a bacon sandwich! Absolutely scandalous. Won't be doing that again!

…or Golf Usual Frustrations.

Rollup yesterday, as off back tees I decided to put a card in - I knew if it was rubbish it wouldn’t count so why not, and so I felt no pressure that I was doing a card.

Any yet - careless, careless drifted the shots and then a lost ball on 5, saw me turning 10over gross and 13pts. Ho hum. Going to have to improve a bit on back 9 if I am not going to be embarrassed by my score. And so played back 9 in level gross, 23pts and over the 18 to my CH.?

Thing is…we don’t have to ‘make it up‘ because we’ve all done it.

And so though a bit frustrating, I’m really pleased that I was able to pull myself and my game together and score that back 9 level gross and probably my best back 9 Stableford pts.

Just checking I see my HI cut 0.2 to 7.8…steady, steady as I work towards CH of 8, and if I can get to 7…not been there for maybe 30yrs.
 
Played in hellish 40kph gusts yesterday and other than driver the biggest club I hit all day was 5Iron. Just didn’t have the bottle to hit FW or hybrid into (or with) that kind of wind
Irritation is I actually scored pretty well and only one dodgy tee shot stopped me shooting handicap. It just plants a seed that I should try a comp round like that too
 
Flies, dozens of the ba$tards buzzing round me all the sodding time
 
I don't mind being the first, possibly only, one to say this but it's not even 6pm on Monday and I'm fed up to the back teeth with the Open build-up..
To be fair I'm not a fan of the build-up to anything but every SM I access is flooded with it already.....and it's only Monday...?
Please can the Championship start tomorrow and go on for 6 rounds...?

The grinch is alive! ??
Know what you mean though ?
 
Golfing nerves, caddying for lovely guy from Texas, who was so nervous he could get a tee in the ground. A real shame, even got the yips putting too and could barely get club on ball.
