Golf Things That Gladden The Heart

[BubbaP]

Not sure it fits here, but to distract from waiting for a -ve covid test, the rain bouncing off the windows, and from looking at shiny things on the internet - have re-gripped two hybrids and a putter.

Of course, I reserve the right to transfer this to an irritation should a club with a nearly new grip on subsequently be replaced ?

Nooooo. Replacing grips is a mindfulness technique surely!

old covid tests definitely seem hit and miss by the way. I’ve had the symptoms and aftermath of last time I had covid and tested negative. New strains I guess.

Playing with a guy today that had throat cancer and gone through two major operations and all of the follow up treatments and casually slips into the conversation on the way round he has the all clear.

Two women in front dobbing in the two blokes that tried to sneak on the course at the 10th today. They slowed everyone up massively. They subsequently got kicked off after the 12th and the game speeded back up.

Gave her praise in the car park as we’ve paid our fee and booked in advance. The course was absolutely rammed so I reckon they couldn’t get a tee time.

Being told by the Pro thT I've got 120 quid to spend in my Pro Shop account by the end of March....
Excellent!!?

Finding a new ProV on the course. There’s seriously someone really bad playing with them on this course! I’ve found 8 in the last 4 games!

2nd eagle today. Took a few years for the first one, then 2 arrive relatively quickly.

I found one a couple of weeks ago and another today with the same peculiar marking. ?

Handed in my notice for my "winter job" first thing this morning! They were less than impressed! Leaving date awaited.... 10th Feb is the aim... first Open Comp booked is in Feb.

Played in the club drawn Xmas Scramble over the break. One of the guys in our group will be 90 in March, still playing 3 times a week, he doesn't hit it very far, but still has a decent short game and he drained a couple of long putts to keep us in the hunt!

Picking up £50 in the New Year roll up and finishing 7th in the new year comp and had 3 lip outs and left a few out there on 16 and 18. Small 0.2 cut as well so all moving forward

Fragger, standing over a 10 foot putt and muttering the immortal line " I've got this for a blob"

 

[Imurg]

There's more...
Fragger looking at a gap about 5 yards wide between trees for his next shot, hitting one of said trees and ending up going sideways.....
When he's just missed a fairway 40 yards wide....

1 hour for 10 holes ?

A bit marginal...

Gloat alert!

Email from Saunton just now inviting me to a new member morning and comp in a few weeks! Might venture down for a game on Sunday if the weather picks up a bit.

Hitting a punch shot into our par 3 11 in what can only be described as a hurricane to 2 foot then getting the birdie for a £35 2!

 

[BiMGuy]

The boy getting his first HI. Seemed quite pleased with himself.

This gloat instils tremendous jealousy - also reminds me, did you ever divulge how long you sat on the waiting list?

Only using it as an indication to what Burnham & Berrow might be like. I know someone who joined St Enodoc about 5 years ago, he had been waiting about 13 years or something silly.

Sadly I sent a very polite email enquiring about a rough idea of waiting list times (and when they may open it up to applications again) and had no response which is a little disappointing.
